Description

Drafts so stacked so I don’t even know who Chicago would aim for I just think Chicago is def trading for that pick one way or the other. But I am personally a fan of gabe perreault. He’s been dropping idk if to 19th though. Also I know not all these UFA are coming so do let me know who you want to see and which ones will and won’t come and if any of these contract look good and bad. These are just my opinion on possible players Chicago could target. But I don’t even think all of them should come just who Chicago could target and what approach I think they should go with. if you disagree with any signing weather it be the player, contract money or years than say it.

God I hope the Canucks don't trade down to 19. I'd reject this offer but I'm not sure they would. I just think the guy they'd be getting at 11 would be far superior to anyone at 19 but that's just me.

As for your free agents I'll just quickly take a stab at a few.

Compher no way he signs for less then 4-5 years and it will likely be north of 5 million for him.
Bunting again at his age signs a longer term deal with someone.
O'Reilly will likely want to sign with a contender regardless of money.
Graves again because of age won't sign a short term deal.

Trade aside because we're all allowed our own opinions and have good reasons to believe them.

On the UFAs. Who's going to offer that kind of money to Compher, Bunting, Barbashev, Kaner, ROR, Tarasenko. It's just a lot of UFAs and not a ton of teams with cap available. Hard to argue any 1 specific case. Just someone's going to get left out, no?

Canucks pass, we don't view Garland as a cap dump, going to have to pay more to move up to 11

From your list of UFA's the only guys I think the Hawks would target are Domi, Bunting and Drouin. Maybe AA if they miss out on everyone else. I'd add Killorn to the list as well.

Like the trade too. Seems like a good deal for both sides
