Description

I know Chicago still needs to be rebuilding for a while but they can't let Bedard rot with nobody interesting to play with. These two players can be acquired for cheap because of their cap hit (doesn't matter for Chicago) and would be great bets to revitalize their careers on a new team with a young, elite centre.

Right idea, wrong approach. Hawks aren't going to trade away 2nd's for guys to play w/ Bedard. Hawks will target a couple of UFA forwards and pay them higher than market value. Guys like Domi, Bunting, Killorn, Haula, Tatar, Nyquist... Hawks can always put Reichel together w/ Bedard as well.

Quoting: Hawksguy81

I like this approach more than sending picks away. Let's add Barbashev to that list as well. Picks are for moving up in the draft.

If there was no other way to shed salary I'd do that from a Canucks POV but Im pretty confident we can move Myers or someone else. Even OEL buyout is in play.
