Thought experiment only, NOT SERIOUS!

I'm aware this wouldn't happen, but what if a Lindros type trade proposal from SJS came across your desk looking like this...

You say no because Connor Bedard is already exceeding expectations with a horrible supporting squad. Additionally, the hawks have $50M in cap space next offseason, multiple draft picks in the first 3 rounds (over the next 3 years), and a pretty deep prospect pool. There's no need to make this trade from Chicago's point of view.

Lindros wanted out, the team had no choice.

With the 24 draft, are 2 of the top 4 players equal to Bedard? That is my only thought. The rest is well, magic beans. Bedard is good for business and will be exciting for years to come but could this lead to making a muti championship winning team for years to come?

But look at what the trade did for Quebec/Colorado. Lindros didn't want to play for the owner of the Nordiques, had the sale already been in the works would he have stayed?
