Think this is close to fair, but probably also favors the Yotes a bit given what they can flip Labanc into if they play him the way they played Garland with heavy OZ starts.

Dvorak is more of a 3C that was a PP specialist in 2021 than he is a top 6 guy and I think being way overvalued by Yotes fans. He had a solid year from a counting stats standpoint, but his underlyings were pretty average to mediocre and his counting stats were fluffed up by a ridiculously high shooting percentage and PP goals (i.e. things that are volatile year to year and not indicators of future performance). For perspective, his shooting percentage was 17.9% compared to career average of 13.6% while he scored 8 PP goals this year in 56 games after having scored a total of 11 PP goals in the prior 246 games.

Sujet: Opening Night Roster Predictions with Trading Sorensen and a 4th for Demers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Revans292</b></div><div>Especially considering Harmon wants to play on the west coast and could be had for 1-2 year 1.5-1.65 mil</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>Wait why would we pay 4 million for a bottom pairing defender though. Wouldn't that money be much better spent if you got a cheap option for a million on the back end and then spent that money on an actually decent 3C or other forward?</div></div>

I fully agree. Hamonic or Rutta would be ideal. I'm just flabbergasted that DW hasn't signed either of yet and is content with his dcorps and having 3 massive holes in the roster (6d, 3rd line center, 3rd line right-winger).

I'm going to go full conspiracy theory: I refuse to believe DW -- the GM of this NHL team -- is this big an idiot. He's fully aware. I think DW is trying to have as "meh" a team as possible and is making a statement to Burns, Vlasic, Jones, and potentially even Kane to have them waive their NTCs/NMCs since he wants to rebuild and their contracts are in the way of it. At worst they continue to not waive and the rebuild begins with higher draft picks and probably along the way taking on a bad contract for a sweetener and/or selling off UFAs for picks at the deadline. That's why Thornton left. He knows it too, DW either told him in words but regardless told Jumbo through his actions of not going after anybody and doing anything this offseason.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PapaJoe19</b></div><div>Thanks for your insight and opinion. Having never been checked by Sorensen, I’ll take you word that he hits harder than I would expect. He’s only potted more than 10 goals once in the NHL (17 in ‘18-‘19). He was one of the most inconsistent and disappointing players for the Sharks last year, imo, especially considering he was consistently playing with Thornton.

When looking at this team and their cap issues, he is an easy player to want to move, especially after the Nieto and Marleau signings, paired with Gregory’s emergence in the second half of last season. Nieto and Marleau will be making less money than Sorensen next combined and will most likely offer the team more next season.

I personally don’t view him as part of the solution and don’t believe he warrants an active roster spot at this point regardless of his PK ability or locker room presence.</div></div>

He was inconsistent last year..... the whole team was so don’t hold it against him, he will never be more than a 10-15 goal 20-39 point bottom 6 player who is good on the PK, but you need those guys to win cups, that’s why Tampa grabbed Goodrow, just give him one more year, I have a feeling this year he puts up 15 goals 28 points and it one of our top PK guys! And if we suck trade him at the deadline for way more than you can get in the off season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Whiskerz</b></div><div>I'd rather have LaBanc to Dadanov to be honest.
Not sure who would be available at #20 that would be a significant upgrade over LaBanc.

Keeping LaBanc saves 2M+ vs Dadanov which would give up space to carry a 7D and give Greiss the 3.5M that he's probably gonna get</div></div>

Yeahhhhhh, the flipside of that though is that Labanc is nowhere near 1st line ready. At this point in his development I would honestly not even really want him on the 2nd line, if I'm being totally honest. That said, I'd keep him over Craig Smith, because you're not wrong - while I'd be very happy to draft, like, Seth Jarvis at 20th overall, I'm not sure that would be worth giving Labanc up for.

Also, Gambrell? Really? Can't we all just agree that he would 'do better with a change of scenery' and move on from him?
