feel like dellandrea should get a roster spot before dowling as the 4C.
both the trades make sense to me

If it's between 4th line, defensive minutes in the NHL and 1st line, playmaking/scoring minutes in the OHL, Dellandrea would be better off in the OHL. His playstyle doesn't work with guys like Comeau and Cogliano. He's not a defensive, shutdown forward. He's a two-way, playmaking forward that needs other playmakers and goal scorers on his wings in order to thrive.

fair enough, was more speaking from the fact that I know he is very strong defensively. He seems like the kinda guy who could mesh as a bottom 6 but also has top 6 potential

He is good in his own end, but he offers more than just defense. He's not a Cogliano or a Comeau. He actually has offense. In terms of his defensive play, think more Sean Couturier. He's good defensively, but is better suited in a top-6 role where both sides of his game are utilized.

makes sense! Look forward to hopefully seeing him in the coming years!
