After TDL

If we're giving up a 1st rounder to Seattle I'd want Dunn. I'd say Larsson back because he is exactly what we need right now on that second pairing, but we all know Larsson needed a fresh start and won't come back. Keith drops down to the third pair and Dunn slides into second left D and I think that would be a better fit than Chiarot. I'm also not sold on giving away Lavoie as I like his potential.

Chiarot is better than Dunn & made for the playoffs
Any GM would take Chiarot over Dunn for a playoffs run

100% disagree. Speaking of playoffs didn't Dunn just get a cup ring in 2017? If I remember correctly he was a pivatol part of that St. Louis back end.

Like Edmundson Pietrangelo Parayko they had 3 beast there, MTL made it too the SCF with 3 beast in Weber Chiarot Edmundson (Petry is more like a Dunn but still more physical and better overall). Nurse & Ceci are your only tough costumer out there. You need another guy like them IMO Chiarot would be great next to Barrie or Bouchard

Sorry all I took from that was that you stated Jeff Petry is better than Vince Dunn...WHAT?

-Dunn has averaged around 19:30 of ice time in 28 games whereas Petry has averaged around 22:30 in 27 games. 1 point for Petry.
-Dunn is 25, Petry is 34. Point for Dunn.
-Dunn has 12 points this season whereas Petry has 2. Dunn again.
-Dunn is a -11 this season and Petry is a -7. Point for Petry. (I actually only follow the +/- stat for D men).
-Dunn has a cup ring from 2017. Petry does not have one.
-Both Montreal and Seattle stink this year. Neither gets a point.

To be honest they're closer than I thought after looking at their stats but I'd still take Dunn.
