Description

I like the tank, we will suck next year and hopefully a top-3 pick next year is worth the suffering. Should we have gotten more for DeBrincat? Probably. But this move is about the long haul and doing this right. My limited knowledge of the draft picks (at least Korchinski and Nazar) has me excited. Let's see this play out. Tough to see Kirby go, but I'm excited about Nazar. Tough day, but this is what many of us have wanted for a while, a true rebuild. This is what that looks like. More tough days coming soon I'd assume Kane and Toews are gone at somepoint, hopefully soon. Love those two, and sucks we couldn't deliver what they deserved (see: many stanbo bad trades). We'll be good eventually and truly back, not a playoff contender but cup contender (hopefully). 2 years from now I hope we're in a good place with a stacked prospect group. Then sign some players and steadily improve.

Isles not trading our 2023 1st rounder. Next year's draft is going to be one of the best in a while.

As someone who is a Sabres fan, I think it’s a good strategy for Chicago. But they need to follow through.

Kane & Toews gotta go. ‘23 class strong st the top. Hope for a top-3 pick and enough ammo that if you like Bedard you can go get him and make that jump.

Makes sense. Thank you Nightowl26 for your input. Would it help if I made it a top-10 protected 1st? Otherwise I'm sure there are other destinations for Kane.

What do you think of the Murphy to Buffalo trade?

I don't think so, we have traded our 1st rounder the last two years in a row. At some point we have to keep our 1st rounder and draft some young talent. It would be different if we were talking about DeBrincat who is young and we can build around with him and Brazal. But not for a 34 yr old Kane (he turns 34 in Nov) and a UFA at the end of the year. Just doesn't make sense.
