Bieksa for a 2nd was good too. Dahlen is a legitimate middle six forward in the making. He's pretty comparable to a bunch of guys we have already, but I'm on board with this. I expected a 4th rounder for Burrows at best.

If Shattenkirk is even traded, Doug Armstrong is going to end up with like a 2nd round pick and busted prospect from the 2012 draft.

After trading every good young swede they've had in the system, Erik Karlsson should be easy to re-sign

e: Lazar for Burrows would have been a win for Benning, but Dahlen? lol

Not to absolve Dorion of any wrongdoing because he's a spineless yesman but this is a Melnyk move through-and-through and he remains the real issue.
