If they prove they can contend

Description
I'm 50/50 on whether I think the team is a true contender. I think they can be, but some roster/system changes have to be made. I would absolutely no do these moves unless we are solidly in contention by the deadline and play more consistent overall. This would be an extremely fast bottom 6, which I think would help a ton against the fast teams in the metro. 3rd pair on D would help to protect our net.

this team is a contender in every way except for the PP. The issues of last season are almost all gone besides the PP which has cost us multiple games already

I think the bottom 6 needs more work and we need a better plan for playing fast teams. If we can sort those out plus the power play we will be a dangerous team.

Hawks have enough LHD and they have already had Nylander for one tour of duty, so this is an easy no for Chicago.
