Quoting: Tjm220
Dickinson is a more expensive Anders Bjork who is signed even longer, they don’t want that.
Quoting: BUFF36
Dickinson is nothing like Bjork, pretty good Defensive forward and he hits. If we didn't have Asplund I would do that trade.

Hornquist only has 1 yr left. Moving his contract has no bearing on a Huberdeau extension as it would be expired before any extension kicks in
If Allvin offered this deal to Karmanos, I believe Jason would jump it.
I did this comparison for another thread, in which Asplund was part of the deal:
"............Dickinson v Asplund
hits........101...............30
PK TOI...1:28..............0:48
Blocks...43..................14
OZS........44.7...............50.3
goal/60..0.4.................0.4
pts/60....0.8.................1.4
TK/GV...2.22................0.88
GV.........9.....................24
TK..........20...................21
Dickenson hits (among all Sabre forwards only Hayden had more hits), blocks shots, and manages the puck better better than Rasmus."
To get a 2023 4th and 2022 3rd for a player who is better than Asplund would be hard to pass as he would help Buffalo to reach the cap floor.
EDIT: Along with Girgensons, Dickenson Buffalo would have two forwards who ranked among the top 30 forwards with the highest TK/GV ratio.
IMO he would be a great fourth line LW for the Sabres and would help the PK.
