Quoting: danielcoe
st l;ouis like dvorak who is good defensively and good on faceoffs so that trade is not going to happen... it is nice to have center depth why tradeit for nothing.... So you have Suzuki and dach and dubois and dvorak and evans aNd start dach on the wing.... and when injuries strike you still have 4 centers.... tha is the way to go unless winnipeg wants dvorak as part of the dubois trade
To Quote MSL on if he was dissapointed by the Toffoli trade
"I skate who im given and its 100% always Next Man Up with me , its how i was coached and why Torts gave me my shot that i seized"
So no , i really , really dont think your assertion holds weight even if i didnt Upgrade Dvorak . The Centers i got are better they just are overpaid or have term a rebuilding team wants gone because the new management is saddled with contracts they cant move and he's the only Center slot they can move for a Profit instead of a loss . If Sissons was younger on this deal there is absolutely no way MTL gets him that cheap.
My Center depth
Suzuki(Great but his Defensive Zone Faceoffs drag down his numbers big time )
Dach(cant win a faceoff to save his life which is why Farrell is on his wing to help him like he did Coronato)
Sisson (top bulk faceoff guy who dominates Defensive Faceoffs)
Faksa (top bul faceoffs guy who dominates Defensive Faceoffs.)
All these guys but Dach are tough , resilient players who dont sit out traditionally more then 5-7 games a year despite being Extremely Physical .
Dvorak and Evans are always hurt by Proxy and this is all before PLD shows up pushing Dach to Foligno's spot as he leaves the system .
There's also the AHL:
Owen Beck
Filip Mesar
Jan Mysak
Jared Davidson (best 5th rounder from the WHL since Gallagher,True Team Leader and undisputed top Center on a team full of highly drafted forwards)
Xavier Simmoneau (AHL top call up type like Rocco Giramindl he might become a regular as a veteran once the 5'6 lightweight packs on muscle )
Peter Abbadanato (our systems version of Desharnais undrafted Center who went from top Junior Scoring leader with multiple titles to ECHL to AHL to NHL to KHL to the NL eventually)
We got depth out the Wazoo but i could easily add more and better pieces then Evans and Dvorak .
I held off on Morgan Barron as i thought it was Overkill and WPG fans want such a large return for him .
But He'd give us a similar package as dock with a less skilled shooting /playmaking acumen that said he's far better defensively
