Not saying he will be another Lindholm, but if there's any comparison it's that he's been playing on a struggling team without much talent and still hovering around 0.5 PPG. The hope would be that Dvorak would pop like Lindholm did - likely not to the same extent since Dvorak started his career later and produced slightly worse but I can see him being a 50+ point player in the right situation
Dvorak's first 5 seasons:
33P in 78GP
37P in 78GP
7P IN 20GP
38P in 70GP (0.54PPG)
31P in 56GP (0.55PPG)
Lindholm:
21P in 58GP
39P in 81GP
39P in 82GP
45P in 72GP (0.62PPG)
44P in 81GP (0.54PPG)
Garland is intriguing too, I like his motor. These are two players who are trending in the right direction that I wouldn't mind in our top six.

Monahan has played with Gaudreau and his best year played on a pp with Tkachuk Gaudreau Lindholm and Norris winning Giordano. Only thing that separates monahan and Dvorak is that 1 great season Monahan had. He’s basically been a 60 point player his whole career playing with a ppg player his whole career and on a much more talented pp his whole career
Arizona has been a very bad team and Dvorak has never played with near the players Monahan has. Add Monahans countless injury concerns it’s a no brainer win trade straight up
