Let's say a team wanted to acquire him from the Hawks. What would be the price to acquire him?

Why would they move him though?

He's probably not available at all, but if he was, I imagine it would have to start with similar age or younger top 4 Dman on a good contract. Probably someone with some room to grow. Probably a LD too.

I dunno, Hawks seem to always dump their upcoming stars due to cap concerns.

They should move Saad or Smith before moving Kubalik.

The other reason is the Hawks might get a team to overpay or get a huge return. And there is no guarantee he doesn't have a sophomore slump.

The possibility of a sophomore slump isn’t a good reason to trade him. He scored 30 goals this year. Sure, he could score 20 next year, but he could score 40 too.

You move pieces to make room for a kid who scores 30 in his first year in the league... you don’t move those pieces.

Overpay with picks or an actual NHL player thay fills a need, because if its for picks then it makes no sense at all

A pitcher of ice-cold urine!!!

I think the cost would be similar to what Saad got when he first was traded to Columbus. Roster player + good prospect or pick. Instead of Anisimov, they'd be targeting a top-4 defenseman most likely.

But Chicago's cap situation isn't what it was a few years ago. And they would probably move someone else before Kubalik.
