    Default What do I do with Dunn

    Hi, keeper in Sig (pts only)

    I don't know what to do with Dunn. Do you think he still have real upside? I was very high on him 2 years ago but he doesn't seems to progress.

    I know that Pietrangelo is maybe leaving but they still have Faulk, Parayko and Perunovich is coming...

    A GM just offered me Buchnevich for him. I'm thighter on def but Buchnevich seems to have more upside now...

    Your call?
    10 teams keeper, keep 23, draft 5
    Weekly lineup (10FW, 5D, 2G) with NHL salary cap

    If you just got offered Buchnevich, then someone is trying to get rid of him knowing that any power play 1 time he might have had will be lost due to Lafreniere's arrival.

    As to Dunn, the biggest question is whether Pietrangelo re-signs. He's a UFA after this year. If Pietrangelo leaves, then Dunn's value goes up. If he stays, then his value stays the same for a couple of years as Perunovich attempts to grow into a scoring D-man role. I wouldn't worry about Faulk or Parayko taking scoring time from Dunn. Their roles are pretty much set and I don't see marked growth from them.

    I'd reject the offer and wait until free agency shakes out. There's no need to make the decision now. And if your opponent is desperate to dump Buchnevich before Lafreniere arrives, you can use that to offer someone lesser than Dunn.

    I like this deal for you. Dunn is not in a great spot in St Louis and is unlikely to have the opportunity to take it to the next level in the short term, and beyond, that is also far from a given, I just don't have a warm and fuzzy on that. Buchnevich is progressing very nicely and 46 pts in 68 games in his fourth year is most encouraging. He is a big player at 6' 3" and I don't think we've seen his best years yet at all. I think the other GM is figuring Lafrenierre is going to negatively impact Buch's role on the Rangers. I'm not so sure about that, Buch at worst could be a significant 2nd line scoring contributor. Given the situation with Dunn, I don't think you have a whole lot to lose here, at worst you break even and you could have a real player in Buchnevich. I'd accept this deal.

    I think both guys are in a precarious position for the time being with what we know today and I dont think either kid has reached their full potential.

    I'd probably make the trade only because I find it easier to move a forward for a D than it is to move a D for a forward in most formats. I dont like either guy and their placement today but I can see why he's making this offer.

    Both are lefties but Buchnevich is RW and Lafreniere is LW. I don't think Buchnevich will have a regression honestly...

    I think you can counter asking for a bit more and if you can get the sweetener I would take it. It's a cap league and I expect Dunn to come in lower than Buch.

    I'd take it for the same reason than Axe

    I dont think Pietrangelo will move. Moving to another state/country in Covid time with 2 years old triplets is not ideal.
    Blues will need to be creative though...

    To be honest, Dunn is a trade candidate as a RFA. They will need to be creative and that is potentially one of the creative things they can do to keep their captain around.

    I prefer Buchnevich over Dunn as a fantasy asset

    Another vote for Buchnevich. With the abundance of riches that the Rangers have up front, his ES production should increase - and regardless of what PP unit he is on, it will be a very capable one. I think that there is far more certainly of production from him than there is from Dunn.

    I think both are in tough spots. Dunn I can see traded or ending up in Seattle. Buch is on a sweet line but no shot of PP time now. I'd go with Buch on the surface, as he's a pretty safe bet to hit 50 points on that line. Dunn I can see getting between 20-30 points in St Louis going forward. But....I'd hold off because if Dunn does get moved, his projection should increase (and he becomes more valuable than Buch)and I don't think you need to be in a hurry for Buch.

    Based on his play on the 2nd Horvat goal, I would probably be dropping him. Wow, did he play that terribly.

    I am not a big fan of Buchnevich so I would see if you can do better than him but if you can't, I would probably move Dunn in that deal.

    Ouch, not good for his value haha.
    I'm trying to get little extra, but I'll probably do the Buchnevich deal.
    The other offer I got is something like a 4th (around 35th pick).

    Just for info, I finally traded Dunn and Garland for 3x 3rd mid round pick (about 25th pick, year 2020, 21, 22).

    Buchnevich was appealing but I have too many player already.

    I will trust my scouting department ��
