To counter Hitagi_Senpai, Zadina is the biggest piece in this, and Veleno isn't too far off either. I think people are already thinking Zadina is a "known quantity" but I think that's just not true, and GMs know it - Zadina's still a wildcard, so it depends what GM you're talking to whether they see him as potential high end talent waiting to burst or already a bust.

All things considered, Chicago would look at that kind of return like this - at worst, they get a depth D man, a middle-6 center, and a wildcard in Zadina that's either a 3rd liner if he's a bust or a potential 1st line winger if he explodes, plus some draft picks. All 3 pieces would be "in their potential window" if they held onto them through the entire rebuild (probably wouldn't happen), and then there's a few draft picks. For a rebuilding team, crowding your middle 6 isn't a great idea, so Chicago would really need to believe Zadina is going to pop off to consider this "fair".
