DeBrincat QO is 9m how are you going to sign him?

That garbage doesn't even get Alex DeBrincat, And the Hawks aren't retaining 50% on him especially not for those pieces.

They can't, That's why it's even ludicrous to be trading for him in the first place.

Ah, so you're suggesting paying over 4 first and a 2nd in value to get.. one year of Alex DeBrincat? Not only is Chicago getting a top defensive prospect, but they're also getting a future star winger, a decent goalie, and a 13th forward. That's not even mentioning the firsts. What are we gonna do when we inevitably can't resign DeBrincat? Are we gonna have to run Rooney or Goodrow on the 3rd line? What happens when one or two dmen inevitably get injured, are we gonna have Tinordi - Scanlin as our bottom pair?

Just adding DeBrincat isn't gonna solve our 5 on 5 problems, all it'll do is hurt us in 23-24, when DeBrincat leaves in free agency

Very easy PASS from the Rangers.

Where's the rest of the roster?

LMAO A) not a chance Chicago accepts that offer. B) Cat is a RFA not a UFA which is why he's so valuable if traded, you don't seem to know the difference. C) You are talking a elite high end prospect and top 15 pick to get the conversation even going for Cat or Chicago probably won't even listen.

It’s an extremely swift pass from the Rangers.

First of all, you're absolutely missing the point of my reply. You see, I'm a Rangers fan, I'm looking at this from the Rangers POV. Do you see what I mean? I am not super well versed in the Blackhawks organisation, so I can't really speak too much from that perspective, but I do know about the team I'm rooting for. I don't really care how the trade looks from your perspective, you're talking about how the Blackhawks wouldn't accept, but I'm saying this trade would hurt the Rangers. Do you see what I mean or do I have to dumb it down any more?


Now:

A) A rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks team, who've expressed interest in trading DeBrincat, wouldn't trade him for an excellent defensive prospect, a 21 y/o right winger projected to be a top 6 playmaker, two 1sts, a decent goalie, and.. well admittedly hunt sucks but still, it's an insanely good deal for the blackhawks. B) I meant we can't resign him because we don't have the cap space, him being an RFA doesn't change that. C) These are two high end prospects, one of which is a full-time NHLer, and two firsts, are you blind? Admittedly those firsts are most likely mid-late 1sts, but it's still really solid value. Plus a solid goaltender with starter potential, something Chicago genuinely needs.

Chicago holds the cards, not the Rangers so really it doesn't matter if you're speaking from the Rangers POV or not, because all that matters is Chicago's viewpoint not your POV. Do you not understand that or do I need to dumb it down "anymore" (which is one word not two...the irony LMAO)!

A) Hawks will want an elite level prospect and high end drafts picks as been reported, this isn't it. The jury is out on KK, no different then Dach. I don't consider either to be a elite prospect at this point...top 6 guys sure but not elite level. Lundkvist is fine but we have Mitchell and Regula who need NHL ice time and both very solid RHD prospects and Murphy and Jones in the top two spots so Lundkvist doesn't fill a hole; which there are many but that isn't it. The two late 1sts don't move the needle either; we got 2 late firsts and Raddysh for Hagel; Cat is world's better and more valuable. B) Cap gymnastics, you move pieces around to keep a 40+ goal scorer simply put. C) Already addressed, but simply put, better offers will be available for Cat IF the Hawks want to move him. Hawks also have two very good goalie prospects in Commesso and Soderblom so no, they don't need a goalie either. Rangers are a bad landing spot as they have the assets but fans don't want to give up the right ones which is fine.

And lastly, I'm not blind either since I'm clearly reading and writing.
