Well basically, he's a better [Tim Brent](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/56145/tim-brent?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Now, some people have already argued the contrary based on faceoff %s (Dupuis - 46.2%, Brent - 52%) among other things. Now I could delve into Corsi ratings, QCOMPs, and more advanced stats, but looking over their numbers I found a few basic ones that I feel tell a big story.

First, time on ice. Brent - 11:39 ATOI over 79 games; Dupuis 9:07 ATOI over 70 games. So Brent played over 2 1/2 minutes more per game than Dupuis.

Second, shots. Brent - 60; Dupuis - 101\. In 240 less minutes of game time, Dupis had 41 more shots than Tim Brent.

Third, shooting %. Brent - 13.3%; Dupuis - 5.9%. Being mostly luck, you gotta figure next season Tim Brent's shooting % will go down, and Dupuis' will go up.

All considered, it seems like [Philippe Dupuis](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55473/philippe-dupuis?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) finds a way to get a lot of pucks on the net and with a little luck, he'll contribute a lot more offensively than did Brent last season.

I give this signing the SkinnyFish Stamp of Approval.

Ruh roh. I don't think we'll ever hear about it, but I'm guessing Burke gets fined for this.
