That fourth line has some good wheels.
Dzingel's tough to value. With Duchene gone, he and Stone are Ottawa's most established offensive pieces so they might try to keep both depending on contract requests.
Last year, when he played just half the year on the top line, he finished with 41 points, including eight on the power play, for a total of 33 at evens. So with half Duchene, half normal centers, he's in the same as Burakovsky, who got 34 even strength points the year he played with Johansson, who is about half as good as Duchene? But Dzingel is on pace for 60 points this year so (a) that offer might get outbid and (b) he'd cost twice as much as Burkovsky to re-sign this summer, but not be much better.
Dzingel's p/60 this year are below Boyds, and you're right that if they trade for Dzingel, Boyd could go in the press box.
I basically think this team is stacked on each wing, and has enough defensemen now, too. They're pretty solid at starting goalie, and their backup goalie seems okay? If they have another move, it's probably a dirt cheap RHC like Fehr or Kruger, whichever they can get for a 4th.
