Hawks decline. Can't see why they'd trade a young, likely NHL regular by then in Dach and two picks for two aging vets in the final year of their deals. That makes no sense.

Dach will likely be in the NHL next year, if not certainly the following year. He had a great camp and has lit up the AHL since returning. No chance they trade him for 2 aging NHL'ers on expiring deals which the hawks likely have not desire to resign. Not to mention adding picks to go along with Dach.

That is not a move the rebuilding Blackhawks are looking to make.

They have the space to take on Cap but they will not send back Dach and a 2nd for those pieces.

They can sign "veteran presence" in the offseason without using assets to get it.

Owen Beck, Wifi and Anderson unretained might get you Dach + picks

Why would MTL do the Chi deal? They can get better value for those players from other teams

No chance the Hawks make that deai, Chicago is very high on Dach they sure as hell aren’t trading him and picks for two aging vets.

Wait, you think another team is going to give something up to take those terrible contracts off MTL's hands?

Oh lord.
