"In the case of Dvorak, the numbers do not necessarily reflect his true value on the trade market.
A third-line center who wins his faceoffs, who can play at both ends of the ice, who can play on the power play and the penalty kill, is an attractive element for a contender.
I believe the Canadiens will see him as such and will need a significant return to trade him.
Again, as an example, let's say the Buffalo Sabres are in contention for the playoffs at the trade deadline...
If they feel they need a veteran center to stabilize things and to play well defensively, they might be willing to trade a youngster like Isak Rosen, a very good prospect, but who is not the jewel of the Sabres." -Arpon Basu
