<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Wow, there is so much wrong/misleading/strategically cherry picked (one from this season alone, one from career, one from this measure, one from that measure... ), but I'm just going to give you props for deftly tip-toeing right around my biggest point, which is that Butcher can't hold Dunn's jock when it comes to puck movement and transition game (otherwise known as the key to modern hockey).

On what planet is 6' &amp; 205 "undersized"? What?

And saying Dunn lacks compete is just an admission that you don;t watch him play. Seriously.</div></div>

Ive watched nearly every blues game for 20+ years.... Im a bit of nut. lmao but its ok to disagree my friend. I do love the metrics that seem to pump up Dunn, hopeful they will help bring us a greater return than what i think we can get for him. I'm doubtful, however.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Its funny because its true.

Butcher has put up more points overall than Dunn, and in fewer games.
Butcher's pts/60 are higher than Dunn both on power play and at even strength.
And Dunn gets a higher % of his starts in offensive zone.
They have had similar possession statistics, Dunn a little better since he has been on better team. Butcher better relative stats.
And Dunn turns the puck over more than Butcher.
And Butcher's career hits-per-60 are similar to Pietrangelo's over same period.
Butcher also blocks shots at higher rates than Dunn.

So, no, we are not deluding ourselves. We are just pointing out what is actually true.
Dunn and Butcher are very similar players in value and production.</div></div>

I dont understand blues fan's perspective of Dunn. He's sloppy with the puck, undersized, lacks compete, needs to be much better at puck battles and in front of his own net. But he shows flashes of skill, both skating and with the puck, and punched a guy in the tunnel in the AHL once.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>They're going to try out Thomas, Kostin, and Kyrou before they trade for anyone. Hate to say there's a silver in any of this, but if there is one it's the fact that they can properly acclimate one of these young prospects into a top 6 role.</div></div>

No doubt they will give Thomas/Fabbri/Sanford/Blais/MacMac a chance to take bigger roles and roll with it. I would love to see Kostin called up and given the opportunity as well. Kyrou, i imagine will be in SA until he gets quite a few games under his belt, but wont be too far behind, if all goes well. And when i look for outside W help, i can only come up with about a few players from a few teams (FL, LA, NJ, NYR, DET) that would even work.
