NJD trade is brutal, why would the Hawks move a solid up and down the lineup NHL player for a defensive kid that is 5'8" and bounces between the ECHL and NHL?
DET trade, we are trading a solid prospect in Kurashev and a NHL defenseman for a 3rd round draft pick from 6 years ago that has seen 9 NHL games in the 2018 and 2019 seasons total and can't stick on one of the worst teams in the league. At the AHL level, he is a .25ppg player. Again, this makes zero sense for the Hawks.
Regarding the PIT trade, Hawks have a logjam of LHD prospects including former 1st rounders so taking on another guy would not help out, is there another prospect?
