Chicago gets an expiring contract then needs to pay up in FA to get a top 6 centre or trade for one and that won’t be cheap.
Doesn’t make a lot of sense although I’m not sure how good those prospects are.
Well I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is Freddie Gauthier is by far our top C prospect it's not close he is the best we have.
The bad New is Gauthier likely never makes it, and if he does he is a 4th line C at best,
Valiev, again likely never makes it he is not Dermott, or Liljgeren or Borgman, Emile Rassumen is another guy that looks like a solid D prospect
Bozak could be somewhat of a solid replacement IF you could sign him.
basically the package isn't great even though our best center prospect is in the deal
