KirkSave Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 36 minutes ago, NUCKER67 said: I wouldn't call this an aggressive move, barely heard of this guy. If he can win some faceoffs and play physical, good defensively, then maybe they've improved their bottom 6? Highmore is a pretty good 3rd liner too, speed and grit. SEA could take him now, so did VAN really get better? If Seatlle ends up taking Highmore, I say BFD. Highmore has the tools to be an effective bottom 6 energy guy but those players are a dime a dozen and the fact that Highmore is a smallish forward is a problem for me. It's like having Stecher at that position. Overall, love their game but come playoff time, their lack of size becomes a detriment to the success of the team.

RWJC Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 And according to the fella from Texas/Salmon Arm, Dick is also a “straight line” “North/south” guy, which means he doesn’t bend or curve in any way, shape or form AND also now has no problems with and avoided any ED. Nux can secure endorsement deals with Viagra and Cialis now. It’s a win win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I wouldn’t consider him the 3rd C we were looking for. He is more of a winger than a C. From what I have seen his game is more suited there and after checking his deployment, Dallas has deployed him more so at wing the last 2 seasons. Nevertheless he is a great defensive forward and might actually be our best defensive forward now. His underlying numbers are great and he isn’t afraid to play physically. I can see a long-term fit as a sort of versatile 3rd LW that can take draws on his strong side and play C if need be(injuries/lack of depth). He could also be used on a shutdown line and can help ease in youngsters. I would still seek out a better suited 3rd C long-term but he’d due for the time being(till we have cap). I would lock him and Motte up long-term. We pretty much have our bottom 6 LW set for a long time. Edited July 17, 2021 by Junkyard Dog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dickinson can indeed lock down that 3C spot this is a solid win. In the WAR model that those guys like, Dickinson is a top 5% defensive forward in the NHL. Now that's going to look different with the change in systems and team mates of course, but still very solid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m warming up to the deal. He is a very good defensive player, who is hard to play against. We need more of those guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 5 minutes ago, teepain said: Nice pick up for cheap. Now time to move onto a scoring winger or dman Yep. Benning has accomplished the minimum that he needed to do with the forwards in terms of trades. Now he can work on the D. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Hoglander Podkolzin Dickinson Motte I can live with that. And no 4.3 for Sutter. How about 1.8 for Dickinson?
