Seattle rejects and Hawks accept

Overall not a bad projection. I think that the McDonagh to Chicago makes sense but I think the Bolts will try to get either Ian Mitchell or Beaudin attached to those picks or instead of the 3rd.

The expansion theory makes sense and is a possibility.

Only real problem is I think you majorly overvalue/overpay Coleman at that money I doubt the Bolts bring him back, he's about 42pts/82 games in his last 2 seasons and he has never surpassed 36pts a year he is not worth the money, bolts will keep him if they can get him around 3M max.

They won't get either Ian Mitchell or Nic Beaudin by taking out the third, they'd need to at least lose the second.

Mcdonaugh is good but I don't want to be paying him 6.75 mil at 38 years old in 5 years. We're already going through that problem right now with Kieth. Hawks pass

He is my thoughts on that, Keith was a Dman that always heavily relied on his skating and with aging players skating is the first thing to diminish. However, McDonagh while being a good skater was never as good as keith, karlson, subban or any of these other dmen who have significantly dropped off as they have aged, he relied more on being positionally sound, playing angles and being a bigger strong body an archetype more closely related to a Shea Weber or Zedeno Chara or even an Alex Edler. This archetype as we've seen especially in Weber and Chara tend to age more slowly and maintain a higher level of play for longer.

And please don't counter with seabrook because lets be honest a build up of major injuries and back problems are what ended his career.

Chicago doesn’t want that contract easy reject in my opinion,
