ParticipantI hate the trade, i think it’s the worst move KD has made the entire time he’s been GM.
Bowen being an unrestricted injury prone free agent after this season, wtf, and trading Crevier away.
If they can’t resign Bowen then this is as bad as a move when Ottawa trade for Cat and couldn’t resign him

ParticipantGood trade to get Bowen Byrum being that it appeared that #4 wasn’t going to get them Stenberg. Now let’s see if KD cam lamd a forward. Petterson is someone that can be had since Vancouver is looling for futures which we have plenty of.

ParticipantYea the Sharks trade is interesting, the problem is if they do select Stendberg, whatever dman they select will take time to develop more so then the top 4.
I’ll be giddy if the Blackhawks get to select the best dman off the board. The way the Avs sucked when Makar was hurt was very telling, and the team that won the Stanley Cup had much better dmen than the LVGK.

ParticipantWith the Sharkies trading Ekland and Kasper the friendly Finnish Ghost to Ottawa for the 9th overall pic, I don’t see Stenberg going past SJ. So, it might be Reid as you said. Two years in a row they snipe the player that fans wanted, but whatever. As long as you draft a good player, and develope them well; that’s all that counts.

ParticipantI doubt as if you will see much of a splash this year. Maybe a trade or free agent signing, but nothing more. We still have to see talent rising up to the NHL level. I would love to see a trade with San Jose to get the second pick, but I will be happy with Reid.

ParticipantThat would be the pinnacle! From my wife’s prospective– no use buying Coach or Louis Vuitton bags, when your aim is CHANEL or Hermes. For us guys, it’s don’t spend your money on the vette or 911, if your goal is the Lamborghini. 😉

ParticipantHaru, i really appreciate KDs patience and sticking to the rebuild. Many keep saying it’s not possible, while many continue to jockey for current players the Blackhawks will begin sneaking up on the league.
If there was a player i want the Blackhawks to get it would be McJesus from the Oilers and quite honestly his contract expires as the Blackhawks are going to take the next step.

ParticipantFour more days to go…. It’s getting crazy out there. Didn’t see Brady getting traded so soon, but Staios probably knew Brady wasn’t going to re-sign there just like brother Matthew in Calgary and Quinn Hughes in Vancouver. Makes the entire team uneasy when knowing that the teams’ star player wants out, so ripping off the bandage stings a little, but better off in the long run.
If KD comes through with a trade, he usually does it ahead of the pack; hopefully he’ll get something done in the next few days. Perhaps he can get Bedard’s bud McTavish from the Ducks? … Or Byram from the Sabres? Very important week ahead of us…

ParticipantHahaha hahaha, what the hell are the Leafs doing, Raddysh to an 8 year deal, yikes

ParticipantIf the Hawks want Stenberg bad enough, offer San Jose our fourth pick, a second-rounder this year, and a first next year. Throw in Korchinski for good measure. If not, I’ll take Chase Reid and be happy. Also, I would talk to philly about Michkoff(?)
