Why do Drury do that?

How to mess up a rebuild 😂 go to bed old man

Hey, if you get a former 1st OV pick who is 22 without having to tank, I'm not sure the rebuild is ruined. This team should be competitive sooner rather than later which is at the end the point of a rebuild. The Vrana signing is probably questionable but it's only for 3-years and maybe signing Hanifin as well will be problematic for the cap situation when Bedard and Korchinski need contracts.

It is a Tampa Bay fan so think he is trying to throw salt at Rags fans as well as make sort of bad decisions for CHI. But a lot have changed regarding Laffy and NYR. I'm sure he is aware of that.

Well that doesn’t get Laf. 🫠

Yep. The title says it all. The only one of those UFA's the Hawks would go after is Nylander. Rangers don't trade Laf for that, and the Hawks aren't trading a 1st for Danault. And what happened to Reichel, Vlasic, Raddysh and the rest of the RFA's?

Yep. Everyone suggesting CHI should load up is either not very smart, or is just hoping CHI's rebuild is a miserable failure.

Also, I know Nylander would be fun to watch with Bedard, but what other reason do they have for signing him?
-He will be 28 next summer and there is a good chance his contract doesn't age well.
-He wants a $10M+ AAV.
-He wears 88, which would be pretty awkward so soon after Kaner's departure. Plus, by the time it isn't "too soon", 88 will be retired.
-This rebuild is nowhere close to being complete. Adding that kind of talent will just steal us games and mess with our draft position.
-We can always trade for him down the road if we are closer to contention, our draft picks are presumably later, we have a better idea of which prospects will be sticking around, and if he is still playing at a high level. Or if he takes a short term deal, we can sign him as a free agent in a few years when it makes more sense, and again, if he is still playing at a high level.

Simply put, there is just no need to sign him right now. And I tend to believe that KD has more patience than to sign someone like Nylander at this point in the rebuild.

Rangers will never make that deal and Nylander gets A LOT more if he goes to UFA
