It could be argued that the stars would prefer to keep Bourque for a nearer term, cheap additive to their lineup, but they also have guys like Chase Wheatcroft or Emil Hemming in the AHL that can probably fill the same role.
I would prefer the trade you outlined, but I am not sure we can get it.

Agreed.
I think this draft is pretty deep (at least as of now) but that also means harder to get picks. Though I would also take a 2027 1st to continue to spread out the picks.
Probably in order of what Dallas would prefer:
Bourque+2nd
Bourque+Protected 2027 1st
Bourque + 2026 1st
Bischel+Bourque
Bourque + Unprotected 2027 1st.
Bischel+2nd
Bischel + Protected 2027 1st
Bischel + 2026 1st
Bischel + Unprotected 2027 1st.
