Holy crap, a mo th ago I expressed the exact sentiment and was widely ridiculed for it. All I heard beyond various insults was the following sentiment “Easy, Daklin, no question”
YES! of course you listen...
And you listen real good about what is needed so you can redirect the trade to be about ROR, Reinhart, Risto...
Jesus Christ!, the friggin’ Waco-CaliVegiRoasting-Cook is up for trade these days with Botterill showing public distaste for all things /Spanish/Mexican in basis!

Bc it is Dahlin, no question
Most of these trade proposals we “should listen to” are wildly unrealistic
For example:
Arizona trades us OEL + #2 for Dahlin
Why wouldn’t they just keep OEL and draft Svech or Zadina?!
Or if it’s Carolina...
they’re already deep in defense & need forward help
So why the hell would they trade for another defenseman, and give up a defenseman to do so, when they could sit still and just take the forward that they need?!
And a trade with Ottawa doesn’t make sense either
Karlsson for Dahlin doesn’t make sense for us- we're taking the guy 9yrs younger
And it wouldn’t make sense for Ottawa to add the #2 pick
They could stay & take a forward, then trade Karlsson separately for a ton
Maybe if there was a REASONABLE deal posted that would work for BOTH sides...
then it wouldn’t be met with such disdain
If someone wants to make us a crazy offer,
then of course u consider it
But that’s also extremely unlikely
