I think I agree with some of the comments on mine that adding the 2nd round pick is too much. But otherwise, I think Strome is probably going to get passed over in Chicago and most likely won't get what he is looking for in his next contract due to Chicago's depth right now. So, I figured dumping Connolly's cap hit and giving both him and Strome somewhere they will actually get to play on an NHL roster while getting Chicago under the cap would be incentive for both sides. Plus if white can come back strong from the injury, then the Trade would be even better for the hawks. But that end of it is all speculation at this point. Who knows, the Hawks might have a plan for Strome and everyone speculating that he will be traded could be completely wrong.
