A first is too much for Winnipeg to give up for a smallish LD they don't need.

They do need another top 4 defenseman though. The size does worry me, but I don't think it's much of an issue with how good he is. Also, I think Dunn could switch to the right side next year if Heinola and/or Samberg are ready.

He is not good...hence why STL wants him to go

I would say he’s very good

I've said it many times before, but Vince Dunn is a stud. Anything to do with defense, he can do well. He's very active in terms of preventing opponents to enter the o-zone, very few chances go against his team when he's on the ice, and he can exit the d-zone very well #stlblues pic.twitter.com/Wb7a2Ylmcf

6’0 203 lb is small?

When you play against other teams that have a heavy forecheck, yep...Morrissey and Poink both got owned against Calgary last year cuz they were too small to either move players out of the crease and got checked hard. Both are about that size...

6’0 203 is not small at all. Dunn is stronger than a lot of 6’3 Dmen, he doesn’t shy away from contact. Also moving players out of the crease doesn’t mean you’re good defensively. Dunn is elite defensively, always in good position and has very good anticipatory instincts in the Dzone. That’s what’s important and what the jets need, not some 6’4 pylon who throws hits and is physical.

Hmmm. "Elite defensively" and healthy scratch don't seem to go together.

The numbers don’t lie. STL committed 10 mill to two 3rd pairing caliber D (Faulk and scandella) and let pietrangelo walk. It’s almost as if coaches and GMs can make stupid decisions.
