They aren't trading Dorsett IMO. They are giving Boyle a look at center with Dorsett/Carcillo and deciding whether to trade him or Moore IMO.

I actually hope they don't trade any of them. Come palyoffs, if we go deep, i doubt we make it there in perfect team health. I always think atleast 1 dman and 1 forward will get injured along the way, so having a spare in Carcillo/Dorsett/Boyle/Moore/Miller (when Zucc is healthy) will be really valuable.

I hope Faulk has been keeping sharp in case a Dman gets banged up. I think its rare to get through the playoffs without an injury, so having an extra player or two at each position will be good.

This.

Moore has been excellent and IMO we would be making a mistake if we let him go. Moore is superior in every way minus face-offs to Boyle and Boyle really doesn't utilize his size to intimidate so toughness really shouldn't factor in either. Dorsett was playing solid hockey prior to injury and smarter as well so I don't get where people are down on him.

Would be very happy if we were showcasing Boyle for possible sweetner in msl trade.
 
I'm not sure I'd be a proponent of this but if Miller plays lights out, is there a chance we see Miller-Brassard-Zucc at some point?

Moore has actually been better on faceoffs than Boyle both this year and his career. The main hope I see here is that Boyle started his career horrible at faceoffs and became very good so maybe Stepan can follow the same trend.

K Ty, wasn't sure but I know it's one of boyles strengths. Really like moores game......
 
Keep an eye on Lundqvist. He went 2-6 after Vancouver before picking it up in the end. In 2006 he lost four straight after Torino and 5-11 including the sweep.
 
Poor choice. The 4th line is a lot less effective with Boyle at centre. He is actually a pretty horrible centre, he only really takes faceoffs well for a centre. Boyle belongs on the wing. I'd be pissed if we trade Moore instead of Boyle.
 
Don't like messing with the chemistry, Dorsett should sit, Dom Moore and Carcillo are better
 
Yeah.. Could've try some games without Boyle here. Decent trade bait. Or just sit Dorsett altough or nah, Dorsett-Carcillo is two sexy 4th liners.
