I am not sure why your response about this is to me because I mostly agree with you, but I could probably come up with a few reasons why they might do that. haha

Maybe they have prospects and/or players ahead of them on the depth chart that they like more, making that player expendable for the right package. Maybe they want futures or a player that plays a different position. Maybe they take that future 2nd and package it for something else that will have a more immediate impact. You don't want to let players sit in developmental leagues for too long or you risk them losing all value entirely. Maybe their long term plans allow them to be flexible and continuously move pieces to either make a profit or break even and push picks and prospects further down the road when they will need them more than they do right now. Maybe they already have a player they like that plays a similar style and they want to swap an offensive guy for a defensive guy, or the other way around, or a tough guy for a motor guy, or a power forward for a skill guy, or a defenseman for a forward, or a redundant player for a pick, etc.

All I know is that the CHI trade probably isn't interesting to CHI. They would probably rather get a pick(s) or a player that isn't a redundancy in return for Dickinson. Someone that fits their vision and the timeline of the rebuild, or something like that.

Nah that's real bad for the Wings lol

he meant put soderblom in the red wings roster and get rid of the chicago trade i think
