Thread: Great Hockey trade to help both teams improve
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>I look at it like two teams that will still live in mediocrity and if they go to sell off Chicago walks away with a much better sell off. Dont think either team gets out of the lottery with the trade which means Chicago likely sells off Tatar = 1st round pick + back in a return. They probably sign Danault for another contract so they have 6 more years with him in thier top 6 and if they chose to move on from Weber there's another 1st round pick plus another asset.

So essentially MTL is giving up 4 first round picks for a player who doesnt get them over the hump and by the end of it probably only gets you a late 1st and a decent prospect back in a trade as long as you retain a big part of his contract.

Toews also isnt needed in MTL, they have thier future centers coming and Danult is a good cheap stop gap. It's a bad trade looking at the logistics for each team but it definitely has a better ending for Chicago because they get a good young prospect at 8th overall and they would get to sell of every other pieces for minimum 1st rounders. While MTL would be left outside the playoffs and only able to sell of Toews for a return that would likely be the same as Tatar unless you retain heavily on his contract .</div></div>

Well said my good friend.
