Trade him as soon as you can.

Literally Nothing. I mean we already retain on Petry next season, so we will only have two spots for Armia, Savard, Allen and Dvorak. Dvorak have the worst value out of all four and the chance that we will be able to trade two of them without retaining is highly unlikely.
He’s gonna be 3rd/4th C with Evans and we will see how it goes, but he probably just become UFA at the end of the season.

Didn’t realize he was so bad. Lol That’s replacement level. 🤣

It’s a bad contract but it’s a short one. The team can live with having him for another season until his contract expire.
gordondouglas93
4th line or fire him into the sun
bcgrappler
It doesn’t matter. Next year isn’t the year. He has 1 year left after this. He provides some okish vet presence and then is gone.
Maybe someone takes a flyer at the deadline if we are a non playoff team.

I forgot he existed to be honest
Disastrous-One366
He’s terrible and still so much better than Anderson lol. Can’t wait for all this dead weight to be off the team.
Burgergold
3rd center until next year TDL
FlashyChapter
When I saw Kuznetsov on waivers, I thought maybe a swap with him and Dvorak might be worth it. Kuzy is heaps more talented and there’s a chance he could come here and put points up. Both have the same term… I don’t know, just an idea.

To think that this guy is the result of our 3OA pick that we used on KK.
A weak draft, but still had a few good names including Quinn Hughes, Brady Tkachuk, Evan Bouchard, Noah Dobson, Joel Farabee

The dichotomy between how Dvorak is described by the media and advanced stats is quite interesting. On one hand, you have the media and pretty much every online blogger saying how Dvorak is a solid defensive centre that would be a luxury 3C on a competitor (Basu once wrote that Dvorak was MSL most trusted defensive centre), and on the other hand, every advanced stat model showing abysmal defensive results (And even if you don’t believe in advanced stats, the fact that MSL wasn’t playing him against top 6 competition is the biggest tell that he’s not that good).
That really got me wondering if the ‘experts’ out there really know what they’re talking about, or if they’re basing their takes on incorrect and hard to shake labels (Dvorak was described as a solid two-way centre by Bergevin when he acquired him, media run with it and that label still stands today).
I forgot this guy existed. Another one of the dead weight big sigh

strap him on a rocket and fire him into the sun

Lol completely forgot that we still had him 😆

These can be misleading. He barely played this year, was actually pretty solid for a short stretch he was healthy. Had a terrible year last year. But he’s been a solid 3rd line C for most years in the NHL. If he stays healthy and doesn’t have a down year like last year he probably moves at the deadline next season. Cap is going up as well.
zzzzoooo
Trade him for a 1st and a 2nd picks 🙂
xcnuck
Watch him come back and center Gallagher and Anderson
prplx
Make him goalie #4.
Skankator
Play him.
dawnofthedunk_
Bottom 6 I guess 🤷♂️
We’re stuck with him, Anderson, and Gallagher. Thanks, Bergy.
goldenboyferg
Trade him before next year’s trade deadline, unless somehow the Habs are playoff bound
Keepmeister
Can he play Symphony no.9?
TimCanadien
Forgot he was even part of the team. Have not been impressed with him at any point during his NHL career. Waive him, trade him, demote him.
ThePing14
I swear to god I ALWAYS forget he’s on the team

This season is a wash. He’s out for the rest of it.
So nobody’s gonna give anything for him this summer when he hasn’t showed he is healthy again.
Next season:
– put him on the 3rd line and try to prop him up as a competent complementary 3rd line C, with decent wingers, in hope that some contender with depth issues at C sees some value in him. – give him some 2nd PP time in the bumper spot, just to hope he’ll have touches that end up in goals and prop his stats up a bit. – give him some 2nd PK time, which he’s not great but not bad at, just to prove he can pinch in for a contender if needed.
Basically a showcase of what he’s adequate at. So avoid everything too far out of his comfort zone that would expose him. It’s basically proving a used car can take you from Point A to Point B without breaking down.
If finding a taker fails, you let him walk.
NiceLovinFriend
Trade him for Zegras and a first
PinouBenDur
Burn him to the ground for the insurance money
hockeynoticehockey
Play him. It’s not like there’s an imminent salary cap crunch or our overwhelming depth at forward preventing development, and before he was injured he was fine as a bottom 6 C who won faceoffs.
Only way to trade him is with incentives added and what would be the point?

edit: Basu, saying Dvorak has a good value on the trade market as a 200 foot, very good 3rd line centre for a contender: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/comments/16ld1b7/from_which_nhl_players_could_be_traded_in_202324/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/comments/16ld1b7/from_which_nhl_players_could_be_traded_in_202324/)
Could we just pretend he didn’t?
