I think the Hawks accept that trade against their better judgment if you swap Kurashev for someone like Dickinson or Blackwell. I think Kurashev is a long-term asset in a middle 6 role for the Hawks, and they'd rather move on from someone who might help OTT more now but not be part of the future plans. Hopefully the 2025 TOR pick is low and the Hawks are ramping up at that point, and I can see them being comfortable with a 27 year old Brinksy making $$$ in 2025.
