Hawks decline. We don't need Kerfoot, we are deep with bottom 6 players especially at the dot and definitely don't need Lillypad who would be stuck behind Murphy, Boqvist, and Mitchell and maybe even Regula who's turning out to be a pretty hot prospect.
Additionally, the late 1st in a shallow draft year is nothing more then a bag of magic beans so not a ton of value with that pick.
If a team wants Kubalik, they need to think about Nylander's value. Kubalik is on a bridge and locked into his career, Nylander not only has a higher cap hit but is a UFA in 4 years. Understanding the contracts, cap hits, along with stats, the value in a trade are close to one another.
