He'll be on the blue jackets roster.

That's a crazy goal for a defenseman to score. This guy is like the anti- Kravtsov. Wowsers.

I just dont know if Lundkvist will ever have the offensive prowess that DeAngelo has. But overall, offense and defense, I think you are going to get mixed responses depending on who you talk to. Because of Fox, I think many would favor Lundkvist and his ability to defend much better than DeAngelo. I think I am in that boat too. But hard to truly decipher who ends up having the better career. If you just go by point totals then its DeAngelo. But from the back end, is that enough to make him the more valuable player? And again, team needs have to be taken into consideration.
In that situation I’d say no. TDA is a high level point producer and I’d say TDA’s offense is a best case scenario for Lundkvist, and I’m not sure if Nils’ defense will tip the scales in his favor.
Tbf I do tend to air on the side of caution when it comes to projecting prospects.
I could absolutely be wrong, and I hope I am, but that’s how I see it at the moment. To me the big question marks are how Lundkvist develops (or doesn’t) physically and how much he can improve his skating.

I love love love Lundkvist but no way. Tony D’s offense is elite.
I wonder if he can play center..... j/k... are am I?

The question is whether or not Lundkvist's defense is good enough to offset the difference in offense. I don't expect Lundkvist to be a top-5 D-man in points in any NHL season. He's a more well-rounded defenseman than DeAngelo though.
Offensively? No, not even close.
Overall value? I'd still say no, but he's got a more rounded game.

I got a feeling that Lundkvist is going to be the kind of player that won’t ever be on the NYR roster.
it just seems like he’s the kind of player that is included in a big trade.

If Lundkvist becomes a major piece in a trade for PLD or Eichel, does that make some fans more content with the McDonagh trade? I have felt that Lundkvist has the trajectory of a Top 4 Defenseman on a roster throughout his career, which for where Mac was trending when we traded him, already had me content with the return for McDonagh.

10000%.
It's not the home run the Nash trade is looking like but if he's moved for a foundational player, we've done well.

Absolutely no problem with Lundkvist being part of a PLD/Eichel trade.
As an overall defenseman, possibly. Still too early to tell. Purely offensively, no chance
