Would Chicago do it

They would consider it.

I pass though on the Leafs side. Raddysh only has one decent year and Jarnkrok's season was better than his. I understand this helps our cap a bit, but I wouldn't pay a first for Raddysh.

so the leafs give up a 1st to......save a million bucks and, at best, get the same player back. That's a hard no.

Solid offer, hawks definitely consider. Only hitch is CHI would probably prefer to wait til the TDL, let him put up points with bedard and then see if they can get a a team to give them a jeannot type return. I'd imagine theyll have at least a couple teams interested in him at the TDL regardless so theres no urgency for them to move him now.

I wouldn’t

Hardly the "same player," IMO... Jarnkrok is who he is; everyone knows what he brings at age 31. For all we know, he could decline from here.

Raddysh is six years younger, bigger, taller, and costs less (at least for now). NO ONE KNOWS how high is ceiling is. He really came on after the TDL this last season - once he was given time.

EDM fans said the same thing about Yamamoto; i.e., that the Yamamoto was as "valuable" a piece as Raddysh; that he (Raddysh) wouldn't make the Oilers better in Yamamoto's place. Then, the Oilers gave Yamamoto away for nothing to the Wings, who promptly turned around and paid money to get him off their roster (bought him out).

For all we know, Raddysh could be on the same timeline as Patrick Sharp was. It took Sharpie a while, and look how he turned out. I'm not saying that Raddysh will turn into a player with Sharpie's production. All I'm saying is that NO ONE YET KNOWS what kind of hockey player Raddysh will become - not you, not me, no one. The Hawks intend to find out; he's gonna be given every opportunity to produce this year.

For that reason, the Hawks likely decline.
