IT'S BAD...lol

Speaking of Fortes in Chicago, remember Matt Forte? What ever happened to that guy?

He became a New York Jet and since retired. Does broadcasting back in Chicago now with Lance Briggs and Alex Brown.

As for the trade. Seabrook's value has never been lower than it is right now. I know I'm bias here, but I also look into the details more than most on this site do. Seabrook clearly isn't fast and can't hold his own pairing like he used to be able to do. BUT, he shouldn't be forced with literally (5) 1st timers and the likes of Brandon Davidson/Daniel Manning last year. Seriously, Seabs played ~20% of the season with Keith (and played pretty good), but the other ~80% was with a rotating cast of AHLers or Rookies. He shouldn't have been put in that position and he won't be going forward.

at least I got rid of the Seabrook contract, and bobby ryan is only there for 3 years , opposed to 6

Seabrook should be traded due to the salary. He isn’t as bad as people think, but sure as hell not worth the cap hit. Also, people want Seabs gone to make it easier to resign Debricat and strome. Trade is a lose lose for both teams with the hawks taking on even more salary, not shedding it

Ask yourself why would Ottawa take on 3 more years of a bad contact? Chicago offered the 3rd overall pick in this past draft to try to get a team to take on Seabrook and got no takers. Remember you have to look at trades from both teams perspective.
