I would absolutely hate a Bickell for Engelland deal.

Depth defencemen are so much more valuable than depth forwards. We have already seen Engelland playing top 4 minutes in the playoffs and not hurt this team. That is exactly what you want in a depth D. Injuries will always happen. Plus, Engelland is a pretty tough fighter, and apparently a huge leader in the dressing room. Overpaid? Yep. No argument from me. However, I would much rather overpay an Engelland than a Bickell.
