Isn’t the expectation that toews could play next season? I guess for arguments sake you say yes or no. In this scenario, I think hawks shouldn’t make any crazy moves, if they can build their prospect pool a bit, they could turn this around fully fairly fast. I’d look into trading Kane (if toews is out). Kane could return a ridiculous return with a bit of retention. He’s still a top 10 player IMO. I mean look what he’s doing this year.
Hawks should “tank” in 2021-2022, having a chance at Shane wright with the new draft lottery rules would be great. They have a solid core, but they need to add some blue chip pieces to the fold if they want to make quick improvements. They’ll be back in the central which will be a literal shark tank. You have MIN, STL, WPG, DAL who are all really good. NSH could bounce back, ARI will join and they usually hang around wildcard or just out of the wildcard spot.
