Thread: (VGK/WPG) - Eakin for a 2021 conditional 4th round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Patriot12992</b></div><div>I haven’t watched a ton of VGK this year, can anyone explain what happened with Eakin? He’s coming off 2 solid seasons, just rough luck? Line change? Regression? Just interested</div></div>

Allow me to give you the run down. Last season he had Max Pacioretty and Alex Tuch on his wing (it wasn't be choice, mostly because Stastny got injured) and he played well that season. This year I do believe it is a case of regression because he has still had Alex Tuch on his line for most of it (and Cody Glass who is a great talent). He's also had Chandler Stephenson (who found new life in Vegas) and despite everything, he has failed miserably. Some of this can be rough luck yes but mostly... he has just been a failure as a Knight.

Hope he rebounds in Winnipeg because he is a nice guy but if I were Winnipeg, I wouldn't hold my breath

Thread: CHI-VGK trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>I wonder if we can do something related to Tuch in an Erik Gus deal. In this deal, Gus obviously comes with a long term extension and Chicago adds.

what do you think of
:goldenknights
Erik Gus
(5X5 contract extension agreed to on TDL)
Zach Smith
2021 2nd round pick CHI

:blackhawks
Alex Tuch
2020 3rd round pick, lower of the two you currently own.</div></div>


Is Gus really worth 5x5? I know he's pretty good but giving up Tuch and giving him that kind of extension feels a little bit off. I don't hate this deal, there is a lot to like on both sides but I'm just wondering if we could alter it a tad. Obviously I don't watch a lot of Blackhawk games and you probably know more about this than me. Maybe not Zach Smith but a different pick could be in order.
