Fine with the Carolina trade but the stars are not trading Bischel

You could drop the pick from Dallas' side and they still probably dont part with Bischel. You are also right that Stankoven is going nowhere.

Prices dont seem outlandish though.

Canes pass. That package isn’t worth the canes altering their no big spending on rentals philosophy

If, so... We can change Bishell for the 2024th 1st.
And 2024th 2nd for the 2025th 2nd (but if Dallas win SC in 2024 - becomes 1st, top 10 protected).

No team is putting two 1sts on the line for 4th line depth and a number 4 defenseman

Nothing in that return is worth Dallas parting with Bischel.

Yeah, pretty sure the Canes pass.

There is nothing in that package of players that Dallas would give up Bichsel for.

They don't need 4th line players. Between Smith, Steel, Faksa, & Dellandrea, Dallas already has an overabundance of 4th line players and all of them play on the PK. They are all also a big part of the reason that Dallas has the 2nd best PK in the NHL. 4th line players & PK help are about the farthest thing from what Dallas actually needs.

In regards to them needing a skilled RD, that is true but Carrier isn't the kind of player that is going to net someone like Bichsel. Simplify the deal by taking out everyone except for Carrier & go from there.

I like what the Dallas trade does for Dallas but none of that is worth Bichsel
