Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Dallas
WPG 2025 2nd

To Winnipeg
Ty Dellandrea (68)

I need impact forwards, so with many of my picks I will be shooting for upside. Previous drafts I've looked at have some quality in this range, but at best they're POT boosters or similar/slightly worse than Dellandrea.

I will also need some stability with quality young guys who can fit in as legitimate 3rd line forwards for decent teams. Dellandrea fits the bill. He's 24 and heading to RFA, and worst case scenario someone bids on him to the point that I get more back than I paid for him. I don't foresee that happening, but it wouldn't be the worst outcome here either. This is an easy yes for me. Thanks for the deal.

Dellandrea was a great waiver pick up and served well in his role but, I don't think I can give him the ice time he deserves, since I want to promote Danielson and Heidt permanently, now that they're ready to play in the NHL. So I'm fine getting, what looks to be, an early 2nd round pick for him.

Thanks Josh and good luck with Dellandrea.
