Thread: Trade deadlineOffseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Hawks accept. I like the way you phrased that in the trade as well. I feel the same way about Isaak Phillips. The kid can play, but the Hawks have soo many LD prospects that it'll be hard to find NHL ice time unless there are a ton of injuries. Vlasci/Korchinski should be the #1/#2 LD for the next decade. Then the #3 LD should be one of Del Mastro / Kaiser / Allan. How's Philly's LD pipe line looking? Any chance for a swap here?</div></div>

Although, Phillips looks way better playing the right side than he did earlier in the season. I really like him and I don't see any rush to sell low on him. I think he has a real shot to establish himself as an NHLer and gain some serious traction in trade talks. But yeah, he probably does end up being the odd man out. I'd explore what an extension with him might look like, and if it is reasonable enough, keep him around and let him build up some more value.

As far as Frost, though, I would be into this proposal.

Thread: Take 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Potassium22nd</b></div><div>No me trading UPL for the first overall pick is ridiculous. Plus its a late pick in the next two years. And as far as looking at the goalies.... maybe either becomes the backup next season but if the blackhawks are gonna be crap then why not give a goalie who has a more playing experience then Arvid &amp; Jaxson a shot and make them develop in the minors for one more year? Or maybe i am being ignorant and just figured chicago needed a backup.</div></div>

You have a point about what would really be considered ridiculous so I'll give you that. As far as UPL having more NHL experience goes, considering the numbers he put up vs the numbers Soderblom and Stauber put up this past season, it only confirms that there's no place for UPL on this team. One has to be up on the roster to make room for Comesso next season so I really don't see a spot for another goaltender, even for a measly 6th round pick.
