Crawford is anglo, we're good.
Playing dominant physical hockey through all the Stanley Cups, ConSmythe, Presidents trophies, and 110 game seasons will do that.I think Seabrooke and Keith have declined severely
Yes he does.. We have Shaw.Not as a first language.

Crawford dominates us. I have a bad feeling about this oneCrawford is anglo, we're good.
I’d take 3 cups in 6 season then go through a rebuild anytime!After 3 Cups in 6 seasons the line up gets decimated.
In that same time span the Habs won 5 rounds. Line up gets decimated constantly.
Im still jealous.
Chicago's core has nothing left to prove. They've been there and done that... three frikkin times! Aside from Keith their stars aren't even old or declining; they're probably just suffering from mental fatigue and letdown. Ken Dryden described the same effect with the Habs in the late 70s in his book, The Game. After their third straight Cup, Montreal lost the fire and was going through the motions. They still managed a fourth Cup, mostly because the league was so much more unbalanced than today. But then as now, too much success for too long breeds complacency.
It's Toews we have to worry about
Absolutely Terrible IMO. The youth movement goes down the drain for a 10.5M C on the decline.Suzuki + Poehling + 2019 1st
For
Jonathan Toews
So a mid round 1st, a 3rd line center, and MAYBE a top 6 player for a 1st line center with 3 cups. If you analyze the whole thing you have to remove Suzuki like we never had him.

Tatar
2019 2nd
This is what the whole thing would break down to essentially. This is fantastic for us.

No if you look at the big picture this is exactly what would be going out and coming in if we mish mashed it all together. And Toews is still a fantastic 2way Center who is absolutely killing it this season. He’s still only 30, he fits the Price/Weber window.That's not how it would break down seeing as Suzuki is one of our top prospects. You're suggesting we give a first and two of our three best prospects not in the nhl for a guy who is definitely past the point of his best years.

I would be trying to win a cup within the next couple of seasons.
Mid round 1st MIGHT yield us an NHL player in a few years.
Poehling PROBABLY is nothing but a 3rd line center
Suzuki MIGHT become a top 6 NHL player or MIGHT be another guy who won’t transition well into the NHL.. we don’t know.
We already have our “Future” core in place
Those 3 pieces might not pan out to be much. Toews becomes our 1st line center and makes us a contender right now..
The point of trading Pacioretty is because he sucks. Toews is still a fantastic 2 way center.The point of the Pacioretty trade was to get younger. We did that. Trading for Toews un-does that.

Good teams are able to go for cups while still developing for the future.
Trading for Toes makes us a much better team, he makes us a real team that can actually compete for real.
