Assuming they’re protecting Dickinson, which they obviously are, Vancouver essentially traded Motte and a 3rd for Dickinson and MacEwen (or someone like that). Which is just terrible for Vancouver.
One of my most prominent mock deals over the past year and it actually came to be.
I shouldn't be surprised. This fits like a glove. Dallas was going to lose Jason for nothing, and Vancouver urgently needed a better third line center.
Love this deal. Stars fans and Canucks fans collectively should too.
Fair trade. Dickinson's value is simply a 3rd round pick. Jim Benning is all about those middle 6 forwards though. Good 3C for Vancouver and Stars get space for younger guys to make the next step.

By trading for Dickinson they’re forced to expose Motte to Seattle.
Not necessarily. But we will find out tomorrow. Motte means a lot to this roster so I doubt he is the odd man out. MacEwan should be a clear and obvious exposure. And that doesn't really hurt us either. Highmore is the most likely claim in this situation.

I thought I heard that Lind was getting protected. And since Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, Miller, and Pearson are obviously all getting protected, that only leaves one spot for Dickinson. I just said MacEwen to show that Motte is better than whoever else would’ve been chosen.

If I were making the list, I would protect Motte over Lind. Maybe this trade changes Lind's status. Regardless, I'd rather be patient and see it out before rashly trying to make a positive trade look like an L.
