I thought I heard that Lind was getting protected. And since Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, Miller, and Pearson are obviously all getting protected, that only leaves one spot for Dickinson. I just said MacEwen to show that Motte is better than whoever else would’ve been chosen.
Motte is over Lind. Even Highmore is more than Lind. Seattle is rumored to be taking a pick for Holtby though.
Massive dub for Vancouver. 3rd round pick is worth nothing and Dickinson is a solid 3rd liner
A 3rd round pick is worth a 3rd round pick bruva (and a 3rd round pick could luck into a late 1st round player this year since no one knows what's up).
And Dickinson is a solid 4th liner. A solid 3rd liner can play a two-way game and average more than 20 points.
Dickinson is an average to slightly below average 3rd line center.
I wouldve loved this deal for Vancouver if it had happened after the expansion draft, but not knowing who theyre protecting, or if they have a side deal with Seattle, its impossible to judge fairly.
