Colorado 2C deadline idea 2

Henrique isn’t the answer if the price is a 1st and RyJo doesn’t have negative value. Colton is a significantly better option at 3C than Dickinson.

It's a pick swap with the value around a 2nd IIRC, which is what we're asking for for a retained Henrique. You should be able to get value from Ryjo somewhere though and not add him to the trade.

I don't know how RyJos skating ability compares to Henrique. Rico is not slow by any means but I wouldn't call him a speedster either.

I'm curious what attributes Colorado needs in a 2C? Speed? Playmaking? Finishing? Defense or offense oriented?

Ideally all of the above

If you think back to the role that Kadri (and Compher last year) played on the Avs:
- Not a speedster but certainly fast enough to keep up
- Offensive upside but not necessarily a PPG player
- Ability to take tough defensive minutes so the MacKinnon line can eat
- Faceoff skill for special teams

That's probably fair value for Dickinson without any retention. But some team probably gives the Hawks a 2nd for him with the retention.

I think Dickinson will be a sneaky good add for whatever playoff team acquires him.
