Build for Bedard

Created by: EthanB0473
Team: 2024-25 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 15, 2024
Published: Mar. 15, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I think this season is a stepping stone to competing but we still finish in the 5-10 range in the draft. Players like Bedard, Reichel (hopefully), Vlasic, Korchinski, Kurashev, Slaggert, and Nazar take steps up. I think we end up overpaying for some veterans again like B Smith (tinordi replacement) and Zaitsev. The trade for R Smith makes sense for both teams IMO.

Signing the guy that broke Bedards jaw like the Oilers traded for the guy that broke McDavid's collarbone? How poetic.

In all seriousness, I agree that too much probably doesnt happen this offseason. The reilly smith pickup is interesting, similar to the Hall trade, although im not sure what his value is or if they really need to dump him now that theyve traded away guentzel. If we're not giving Nazar top 6 minutes he should be in the AHL.

Not bad. Just my personal opinion on some things.

Find a different veteran defenseman to sign in Smiths place, I'm not bringing on the dude that broke Bedard's jaw like @slickwilly mentioned. If you sign Zaitsev it should be as the 7th defenseman and in his spot rotate all the young defenseman who are on the cusp of being NHLers. Commesso is not ready to be a backup yet. I think he needs to spend another year in Rockford and hopefully gets called up for a couple games here and there. No need to trade Donato. He is a good 4th liner. Using a retention slot will only leave them with 1 retention slot come the deadline and it will be more useful then if they want to trade Hall, Smith, Athanasiou, or Raddysh.

My opinion: Nazar will either be in college or AHL next season. Slaggert will be in AHL next season. Korchinski should be in the AHL next season.

they aren't paying to dump Smith and Smith probably blocks that trade anyway.
No one with a 12 team no trade clause is going to put them self on a non playoff team.

Yeh but mine is better for what kind of reaction the real Davidson would have if he was presented with the offers on this site.

I’ll only change it if you pay me restitution of $4M over the next 2 years. I believe you are familiar with these figures.
