It’s not about points; it’s about this guy playing a defensive minded role as a centre.  He’s horrid on faceoffs!  Does Bo take all the D zone left hand draws?  This trade is very likely to cost us Lind.

is this guy worth Lind and a third?  

I'd rather lose Lind than Gadjovich.  Dickinson brings a lot of the same elements as Lind and is already an NHL player.

We will lose someone anyway, this at least makes us better in an area we need. We can work on FO but not every player is perfect and expecting very trade and every player to be perfect is a recipe for disappointment

Okay, so the trade is Gads and a third for Dickinson.  He is a lot cheaper than Sutter, so we do save on the cap.

A established bottom six NHL player for a 3rd round pick.  How many 3rd round picks make the NHL?

Nate Schmidt traded for a 3rd round pick.

Miller for a 1st round pick.

Jimbob is doing well so far.

 

Baertschi for a 2nd(Rasmus Anderson)

Overall though yes I agree.

Every team is going to lose someone, Alf. We should consider ourselves lucky that we won’t have better talent exposed. We just got a big defense first center for fairly cheap. Too much value is being placed on a 3rd rounder.

Of course they are taking Holtby. That was worked out long ago is my guess. Holtby is a dynamite trade chip at tje deadline.

 

Holtby plus retaining gets a 2nd easy.

We don't need to make a deal. That would be dumb. If they don't take Holtby, we can just trade him ourselves. It's already been reported that there is legit interest from several teams for Holtby.

The people who are criticizing the trade have never even watched Dickinson play.  Monday morning couch potatoes who think they know better than anyone else.

I remember watching him throughout the playoffs last year and just thought he was a solid hockey player. Can always use those.
