As much as I like Deangelo, It would take him and kreider to get Montour based on Deangelos limited time in the NHL and what Montour brought to the Ducks this past year. But, I like the idea for sure.

Pass from Chicago. Hayes didn't want to play in Chicago in the first place, so why move assets for him now? Maybe it is jilted girlfriend syndrome, but I don't see the Hawks and Hayes as a match. I would rather give some of our young wing prospects the ice time and draft a good future (or trade for a part I like better then Hayes) with #27. Sproul is a UFA that we can sign ourselves and we don't really need a 3rd pairing RD as we have the most expensive one in the league under contract until there is a compliance buyout option. Kidding aside, unless we move a RD separately, we really don't need one as we have 3 under contract and last years first 2 picks look very good in the pipeline with a decent chance the #8OA best option may end up being a RD again.

Yeah those are valid points and I considered that Hayes didn't sign in Chicago, was already aware of that. Sproul's only an UFA if he's not qualified otherwise he would be a RFA.
