Strange take. That trade helped get us Bedard and Nazar. I’d make it again today, especially after knowing what happened.
So this mediocre player would have prevented the Hawks from drafting Bedard ? How very consistent of you. If that was the issue, Chicago might have just kept him and not signed either Domi or Athanasiou. There you go, easy solution to keep that 6'4" 21 year old centerman. I'm sure you also know Nazar himself had a serious injury... right ?
Right. They traded him because he was injury prone. After playing 70 games the previous season. It's pretty clear he just didn't fit in their plans anymore.Chicago made him available because he was injury prone more so because he was horrible. If Dach was healthy and didn't have those injuries, Hawks would not have made him available for the 13th overall pick.
They were after a bigger prize which they won so that automatically makes the trade a win for them.
But hey, apparently Habs fans were in love with Dach last year after a hot start, which apparently means something to that one unbiased Blackhawks mod, lmao.
