Hawks won't want to give up assets for Karlsson. Also, his contract is too long and it would be tough to flip him at the deadline. Doesn't help the rebuild.

Yeah that’s true. My thought was that $6 mil in cap space could help bring ‘em up to the floor.

They're already above the floor, unless they trade both Toews and Kane. I think a better trade partner could be a team on the brink of the playoffs. They might be willing to give you the picks if they think Karlsson can get them over the proverbial hump.
