"In the case of Dvorak, the numbers don't necessarily reflect his true trade market value.
A third-line center who wins his face-offs, who can play both ways on the ice, who can play on the power play and on the penalty kill, is an attractive asset for a contending team.
I believe the Canadiens will view him as such and would require a significant return to trade him.
Once again, as an example, let's say the Buffalo Sabres are in contention for the playoffs by the trade deadline.
If they feel they need a veteran center to stabilize things and play solid defensively, they might be willing to trade a young player like Isak Rosen, a very good prospect, but not the crown jewel of the Sabres."
