This trade assumes that the Crawford injury (concussion) will result in Crawford hanging 'em up after prolonged head issues; some things are just more important than hockey.
Carolina trades:
Darling
Chicago trades:
Crawford
4th round pick
Why Chicago might do it:
Maybe Darling can recapture his mojo in Chicago. He was very good there and is only 29.
If not they still unload the Crawford contract to save 1.85 mil. They had to pay a pretty penny to unload Hossa's contract and that was less cap, and only 1 million real money over 3 years.
They reunite a combo that surprisingly got along very well in Ward and Darling. When both weren't overworked, they really challenged each other.
Why Carolina might do it:
Carolina saves a little real money but gets out of the weighty contract 1 year sooner which has to help with that great young core.
Get something for a player they just waived.
