I have to agree, Looks bad for CHI...

i know hawks fans are going to throw out strome as a comparison. nylander played well and showed high end skill at the end of the season in rochester and buffalo a bit once healthy but as someone who has season tickets to the roadrunners, where strome and perlini played, and watches rochester games because i am a sabre fan, you can't compare the two. strome absolutely lit it up the AHL at will and so did perlini. nylander definitely did not. i still think he needs another year in the A to work on making his skill set work for him from the dots down.

I strongly disagree. First off, where is Boqvist? He is too good not to make this team, so add him on the right side. I believe Gustafsson plays on the right of Keith, no? Then create the super redemption line of DeBrincat (drafted in 2nd round, undersized, boohoo :P) - Strome (was so lost in the desert) - Nylander (the forgotten son of Michael Nylander). All jokes aside, I think that line is going to kill if the two Erie Otters can form some decent chemistry with Alex.

Are these deals going to happen next?


Erik Gustafsson
1st round pick 2020


Michael Dal-Colle
Josh Ho-Sang

and then ...


1st round pick 2021
1st round pick 2022
2nd round pick 2022
Brandon Saad


Milan Lucic
Jesse Puljujarvi

and finally ...


Alex DeBrincat


Jake Virtanen
2nd round pick 2020

Just because a high prospect don´t deliver in his first year in a NHL organisation doesn´t mean he will be a bad hockey player. New team with one of the coaches beeing from Sweden (Mitell) and the other with big experience in swedish hockey can be a boost for a young kid. Here in Sweden we still have big hopes for Alex and with Mitchell and Boqvist in the pipe, i like this deal.
