Only if the 2019 Chicago 1st in lottery protected... or at least top 10 protected.

I'd do it, assuming the prospects are half way decent. Complete blank names, but I like the mix of c-d-and picks. It fits the Hab's needs, even if it is top 10 protected.

Yeah I think I'd do this. Im not completely sold on Highmore though. I'd rather another prospect or pick instead to be honest of him but this could definitely work. Habs will gladly take on 50% of his cap if Highmore is swapped for a decent pick or a better prospect too.

Ian Mitchell is gonna be a stud, he started his Freshman year slow and by the end of the year he was University of Denver's best defenseman. I think the Hawks wanted to sign him this year too, he just wanted another year of school to bulk up before he played pro. I mean if hawks really wanted too i feel just Mitchells value alone and habs lack of right handed shot offensive defenseman they could do a one for one. But it seems like a bad idea for the hawks.

Get Kevin Bieka TF outta here. No one wants that scumbag.

This is not a good trade for the Hawks. Ian Mitchell was the top defenseman on one of the best teams in the NCAA this year as a freshman. His value is VERY high.
I personally don't love Highmore but his numbers as a rookie in the AHL were pretty good and he saw NHL time. The first round pick would have to be top 10 protected for sure.
This is just way too much to give up for Pacioretty IMO.
