I think you're right that the 2020-21 Chicago Blackhawks are way more interesting than the 2019-20 Chicago Blackhawks. I think the DeBrincat and Strome deals are right if they sign extensions before the 2019-20 season. I think you've undervalued Saad - the Canes would give one of their defenseman for him, that's was what they proposed in the past and Bowman turned it down (Saad for Faulk I believe). He's the muscle they need. I think you've overvalued Gustafsson. He wouldn't command a first round draft pick. If he did, the Blackhawks would have traded him at the deadline this year. It looks like you place a high value or low value on a player based on points scored. Although, Murphy isn't worth a 1st round pick either. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Crawford after he contract expires. I think it's likely he changes teams for a $7-8m contract for a single season with a Cup contender that's been snake bit by their goaltending.
