Team: 2024-25 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2024

Published: Mar. 2, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

More competitive, but the rebuild is still in the early stages. Don't trade valuable assets away UNLESS it's for a player who will be here for a long time (Tkachuk). Usually it's never a wise idea for a rebuilding team to go and spend assets like i just did, but i am very confident in that the Blackhawks will come out of this rebuild FAST with a Bedard & Celebrini duo.

Alex Vlasic contract comp = Mattias Samuelsson.

2 late 1sts and a prospect isn’t enough. If im moving Brady to Chicago, im asking for Moore/Korchinski and I doubt Chicago moves either. Chicago just needs to stay the course, rebuild is looking good! Don’t make the mistake Ottawa did and start moving picks away for players lol

Absolutely not. Stay away from CHI ACGM's.

I don’t see Ottawa accepting that deal for Tkachuk.

I like this trade from Chicago's perspective. Giving up picks hurts but that's the price for acquiring a 24 year old stud to ride shotgun and protect Bedard! I agree its not enough for Ottawa to bite and I fear the price to acquire him is more than Chicago is willing to pay.

The price for Tkachuk would be much much higher and Chicago shouldn't be inquiring anyway.

Not enough to get Brady, and Hawks probably wouldn't offer Rinzell - he's the heir apparent to Murphy in 3 years. Getting Brady probably starts w/ the Hawks unprotected '25 1st + Reichel and Hawks add from there.
