Keep Crow in Chicago Reddit

@Stan_Bowman @ChiHawk @Beetlejuice @TooMalevolent @Ledge_And_Dairy @kuzystash Whatchu think?

Wild aren't looking for a top line winger let alone a rental so that trade would never go through.

As most of us agree, Crow is not worth $5M....at that price let him walk and grab Markstrom who still has 3 to 5 good years in him

Shaw on the top line is a nightmare....a bad one. No way

I think Crow will wait awhile to sign with anyone, I feel like him and his agent need to discuss his health and his future in the NHL. Right now its 50/50 if he retires or play.
I think Saad shouldn't be traded unless at the TDL, I think him on the 3rd line with Suter or Kurashev is a need. It worked well with Kahun and Kubalik. So my opinion Strome is the most likely in the foward group to be traded

As far as Saad goes, I'd have to disagree. They're currently running Kunin as a winger, and will need to replace Galchenyuk next season. They're looking to compete soon with a new goalie and a Kaprizov. A 45-50pt, 2 way winger would be great for them for a lower return, e.g. a 15-25th overall 1st rounder.

Markstrom I doubt you can grab at 5m. He's said he'd prefer Vancouver, and they can also make room for that salary. Not that I dislike the idea of Markstrom, I just don't see it happening is all.

As far as Shaw goes, why do you say that? When he was on MTL he helped them nearly lead the league in corsi and 5v5 efficiency. Yeah he was injured this year, but Shaw can slot in anywhere top 6, that was the best part of him! Genuinely curious on this one.

The only reason I'm trading Saad is because he's at 6m. Losing that 6m contract gives us a lot of room to manipulate and move players before the season starts and bring in a better roster overall. Definitely agree though you could use another winger.
