I agree with Garak on Dickinson value being in the 3rd....2nd with retention range. The proposal here probably adds up to that 2nd value in a quantity approach, I just don't think the Hawks will have any interest in quantity over quality with the quantity of picks they have made in the last 2 drafts and have stacked up in the next 3....at some point you don't have enough roster spots on your pro rosters to place all those picks.
I think you would be way more likely to get the Hawks to bite on a package where they are sending the quantity to upgrade one of the many picks they have....so maybe like Dickinson WITH one of the 3 2nd's the Hawks hold for the Avs 1st. My counteroffer would be Dickinson (half retained) plus the worst 2nd the Hawks end up holding and the Sens 3rd for the Avs 1st. Using the SoundOfHockey pick value chart with where these picks currently sit, that would be a net of getting Dickinson for a mid 40's pick which I think is fair for him retained. Hawks get to upgrade multiple picks and a trade chip into a better pick which I think they really need to do while the Avs add a TDL piece and downgrade a 1st into 2nd and 3rd they currently do not have.
