Appreciate thinking outside of the box, but Hawks can do better, Washington trade only adds to a logjam of D guys, Alexeyev isn't a number 1 in my opinion and we have plenty of #2 and #3 guys plus Murphy can easily get a late 1st plus a B prospect. I get that alexeyev is a A- prospect but giving Seeler and Murphy for a 5th and him is an overpay.
We have Barratt so there is no reason to pick up Pettersen given we have Toews, Dach, Strome, Kampf, Barratt, and Carps as centers. We definitely should not be retaining on Saad for that package and frankly way better off expending saad for $4.5M for 4 or 5 years.
