Description
What would it take to pry the 12th overall from Minny?

This could be homer goggles, but I feel that Gus in a vacuum could be worth a pick from 20-25. He had a great year but still has to prove he's the real deal and is a UFA at the end of next season.

Is the Blackhawks 2nd rounder (#43) plus Sikura and something else be enough to get it done? Or is this a fool's errand?

Alternatively, I could stomach parting with a higher end D prospect with Gus, if that's what it takes and there's another quality Forward available at 12.

Draft trades get you far less than TDL trades. Gus could get Muzzin type return @ the TDL. Pick #25, and (2) 2nd rounder type prospects that can be roles players, but not superstars. A draft trade...not nearly as much.

But what at all is the sense of parting with a high end D prospect, when the Hawks' D core is so bad right now, and they'll need as many of them to not bust as possible? There is no reason to get another first rounder this year at the loss of a D prospect, because you're just needlessly kicking the can further down the road.

Outside of that, this trade doesn't happen. The rub isn't that you aren't offering sufficient pieces to call the value good, its that no team is going to trade their first found pick either at the draft in a very public manner, or before it when they'd have to answer for it to their fan base (and this package doesn't make their fans happy).

I agree with your first paragraph. Disagree that Gus isn't worth a 1st round pick at the draft.

Habs would be all over that if Minny passes.

Gustafsson had an incredibly quiet 60p season, but the Wild really don't need any help on the blue line. Our biggest need is for a young 1C or a prospect that has that potential. Hawks don't have a guy like that (or at least one they'd be willing to move), but if they did I could see us moving our pick for that type of player unless a guy like Zegras is still available at 12.

I could maybe see a trade revolving around Jokiharju if we decide to move on from Spurgeon, however...
