As a Hawks fan, I'm not super opposed to it, but there are some complications. The Hawks have a TON of Dmen right now. My last count was 10 that need ice time...I took Seeler out too... Not all of them are going to get it either and YES some of them can be sent to Rockford, but not all. Is Wolanin greater than Koekkoek? At this stage of the game, I don't really think so. I'd take him out and insert a different prospect even if the Hawks needed to add more...or send cap back, but that's easier said than done with Menlyk.
I keep bringing up Shane Pinto because he's about to see OTT draft (2) top 3 OA picks as forwards....in a system that's already stacked. I think he'll go 3 more years at UND and choose his own fate. Why not get value for him now?
What about Strome, Caggulia, and the CHI 4th....why Drake? Because he can help protect your 1st round pick investments while they develop.
For Brown, Pinto, and the OTT 2nd?
