Dallas declines. Value is fine, but they have more LD than they know what to do with. With Harley likely making the NHL jump this season, they have 6 LD either in the NHL or NHL ready. They also don't need another defensive forward. Between Faksa, Comeau, Cogliano, Dickinson, and Dellandrea there's no need for them to take on Bjugstad's cap hit. Honestly, they need to move a two-way forward or two instead of bringing more in. Add on to that how thin their RD position is, and it makes it incredibly difficult for Dallas to move one of their two NHL caliber RD (Johns) for a package that doesn't fill any of their needs.
Value is fair, but the fit just doesn't work for Dallas.
