Quoting: mnwild17
So you wouldn’t want a upper end 2nd pair/low end 1st pair guy to play in your top 4 with Dahlin? Fiala is a top line guy that at worst is a top 6 guy, no other team is going to be able to give you 2 bona fide NHLers
Dumba turns 27 this summer
We’re about to go into another rebuild trading Eichel, Reinhart, etc
And at Dumba’s age, he doesn’t really fit our timeline
Especially when you consider he’s only signed for 2 more years
He’ll be gone before we get good enough to start competing again- so he just doesn’t make sense (for us) to be included as a major piece in the Eichel trade
It’s not as simple a trade as giving us fair value
There’s other factors to consider
I’d imagine we are gonna want YOUNG players/prospects as the main pieces of an Eichel trade
And the 1sts are nice- but the further down they’re projected to be- the less value they have
That’s the way i see it anyways
