Not a good trade.

Why are people giving up so much for Dvorak ?

Doesn’t seem like a guy that should get more than a 2nd + a prospect to me. Eller has better stats

Brannstrom isn’t someone I’d trade for Dvorak. I tend to agree. The most id offer for Dvorak is a B prospect and 2 2nds

Dvorak is the wrong target.

I have a completely different mindset fornthe Sens moving forward.

1. Yes, they need a 2C. However, this acquistion should be on shorter term deal, (2 years left MAX).

2. Why? I think it behoves the Sens to see of Stützle can play centre.

Acquiring a 2C with a short term allows the Sens to move in into the position slowly. If it doesn't work, you're insulated while you figure out a plan. (Think Nylander in Toronto - tried but clearly he was a winger)..... say like Formenton? Because he looks like he could be that guy.

Let's say Stützle looks like he can grow into the role, now you are seeking a 2nd line winger which is less again in asset loss, or, even a good UFA signing.

Dvorak is flat out the wrong target here.

A guy like a Kadri (doubt he moves now but....), or perhaps a Hertl (again lofty), would make more sense here. Even a short term gamble in the UFA market.

Gee, I see the Leafs trades for Dvorak and for some reason the Leafs have to give up a ton more to acquire him.
I guess the benefit of Dvorak is that you get 4 years of certainty. But certainly the Sens can just go with who they have, and see what their situation is next summer. Dvorak ain't going to move the needle much this season.

I agree, I'd rather have a shorter term guy as well. And think Stuetzle can transition over. I disagree he's the wrong target though. I'd rather do him in the age range and lower cap hit than say a Kadri, Hertl, Strome who will most likely leave anyway.
My preference is to do nothing via trade. Maybe sign a vet C like Staal. I still think Sens are a bottom 10 team even with an upgrade at centre. I was just conforming to the rumours they want upgrades. Not what I want

im just confused as to why this type of player is gaining so much hype? he would be an average 2 center.... not really great at offense or defense. people are offering 1st + high end prospects. ironically Kuzy is a cap dump on this site but in his worst year he had more points and better advanced stats
