2019-20

Pretty low offer for Panarin.

Also don't move Dickinson, he's good.

I moved Dickinson to add a second round pick in 19. Because you sign Zucc, you have to stockpile when you can. Panarin at 9 million in Dallas is not far off from his take home in say a NY or CHI at 10.5-11.

He's also rumored to FLA at +$10M, and they're as tax friendly as Dallas is.

Stockpiling picks is decent idea, but moving one of our better assets when we're about to contend is not wise in my opinion.

What would you say Dallas' biggest need is going into next season?

Probably 2nd pair D. Our biggest issue in the STL series was the lack of physicality. Our only physical d-men were Lindell and Polak, we need more solid piece to our defense.

Also a TOP6 winger is a high priority. Depending on the cost of the d-man we presumably acquire, I'd like to get another winger. If the D we get is relatively cheap, I'd go after Skinner or possibly Duchene (and move Hintz to the wing naturally), or if we spend a little more for the D then I'd consider acquiring either Nyquist or maybe Ferland.
