<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Isles may look to move Lee out without retention but doubt they give up two 2nd's to do it. That price seems steep. And don't like that Leafs trade for the Hawks. In this draft class, there isn't going to be an appreciable difference between the player you draft at #24 and the player you get at #34. After about #18 or #20 the next 15 or so players are all pretty similar projection wise. I wouldn't trade #34 unless it was part of a deal to a 1st inside the top 20. Kampf doesn't move the needle enough to swap those picks and Reaves is washed as a player. Bad trade for the Hawks. And $8m for both Henrique and Demelo is an interesting strategy. Especially Henrique.</div></div>

The UFAs are really kinda place holders. I like these two, but Say you like Tanev...fine. but seriously overpay for contributing veterans.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Badgm91</b></div><div>That would be because Bailey wasn't even capable of playing at an NHL level anymore. JGP is still one of the better defensive centers in the league, he has only lost a step in terms of his offensive ability</div></div>

I think the Blackhawks track record is pretty clear. Whether the player is debatebly good...I'd point you to the Jason Dickinson trade or even Mrazek. Whether the player is not good, I'd point you to the Baily or Zaitsev trade. Taking on cap for other teams comes at a price. CHI's track record is a 2nd. There can be more to the trade like Entwhistle going back to the NYI, but a 2nd probably needs to be included.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>Why would Chicago say no to this?! They get a young NHL ready right handed dman and an injury plagued yet serviceable center half retained that is only under contract for one more season and all it cost them is to move back a 3rd from this year to the next year. Of course they would say yes to this trade but Hughes would have to be out of his mind to even offer it.</div></div>

I think we just have a difference of opinion on the quality of the players heading the CHI. I understand Dvorak is a CHI native. So, maybe he can turn things around there??? IDK, big maybe imo and not really worth the risk. I 100% understand MTL not wanting to retain. Barron isn't really a needle mover. If the hawks made this trade, he'd just be in Rockford. The Hawks need a veteran RD that's physical. Is it the worst thing to have another RD in Rockford...no, not at all, but that's the reason for the trade. AHL depth because the hawks farm system doesn't have many RD in it at all.
