Someone elses eichel trade

I don't think it makes sense for the hawks to get eichel. Giving up 4 big time roster players and a top 10 pick for one superstar player doesn't make us any more of a contender in my opinion. The hawks won their stanley cups with tons of depth are the core. The core is now weaker than it was back then and we have no depth around it. This team would be just as mediocre as the current team in my opinion

I agree about the depth but I disagree that this team would be mediocre. Having a Eichel kane line would look a lot like the kane panarin line. They'd be deadly and if the toews line produces like it did this past season they would easily make the playoffs. If Dehaan is healthy he can take keiths role. Losing boqvist hurts but addind mitchell should help fill that hole a little bit. Losing cat would hurt but nylander probably has a breakout year on this line. Losing strome is nothing. And the 1st is always a toss up.

We were pretty mediocre even when we had panarin that's the thing. Back to back first round exits and then he was gone

Yeah but that was also without kubalik, saad, nylander, etc.

Also with Hossa, shmaltz, teravinen, Hinnastroza, Seabs when he was good, Shaw, Hjalmerson
