For whatever reason AV doesn't think McI fits into the team's structure. As long as AV is here, that will not change. I can't imagine the NYR holding onto Dylan for long enough that AV is no longer here. IMO Dylan WILL be a second or third pairing Dman with the ability to put forwards on their heels, to pull up rather than take a hit. He will make players pay in front of the net, and he will contribute a heavy shot. He is an excellent team player and if he improves enough to be on a second pair, he will also assume a team leadership position, maybe an A. But it's not going to happen here, we are going to keep bemoaning the fact that our D is so soft on forwards driving into the goalie, loses so many board battles, that the team is so unresponsive to people taking shots at our skilled and young players, and Dylan will be on another team providing those aspects.
Part of me hopes it's in our division so everyone who thought it was a good idea to dump him is confronted with it regularly.
