Quoting: SammyT_51
Its probably too much going to Ottawa but I like the idea of getting Dzingel, he is really underrated.
Exactly! it's likely an overpay, but that's what dougie does when he finds a good fit. He overpaid for Burns (basically 3 first rounders in setoguchi, coyle, and a 1st) for a to-be-UFA. he wanted him in the org, and he knows that the hardest part is getting a player into SJ, but that the developing and resigning is the easier task.
If Wilson sees top 6 potential there, he will overpay. The good news is that any 2nd rounder is very hit/miss, and will likely be in the 50's overall range, so its no big deal. Gambrell looks like a solid prospect but with Balcers, Suomela, and a few others, the prospect pool is rich with gambrell-like talent. Roy is another high end possibility, but very uncertain given the injuries. He has been in many ways passed up by Simek, Middleton, and Wood, not to mention Heed and Ryan. And karlsson is a very good PK defensive forward, so the sens might like him, but he is quickly losing a lineup spot for SJ given the forward depth.
So, while the two solid prospects, good depth forward, and 2nd rounder is a steep price, it's easily absorbed for the Sharks without hurting the current roster, or likely much of the future. And, if Dzingle, just entering his prime, emerges as a 50-60 pt player, who can score 20 at even strength, then it's a steal. And if he doesn't pan out, it's not a big problem.
