Confirmed with Link: Hawks acquire Josh Bailey and 2026 2nd round pick for Future Considerations

[Mrfenn92]

I think we finally reached the cap floor. Even if we include ELCs and short term extensions, we have plenty of space for a decent free agent short term signing.

With Bailey bedard and the Kurashev extension

Exactly the type of move we should be making. Great job #KyleFromChicago

 

[Drumman44]

I didn’t realize Bailey only had a year left. This is a no brainer great trade. If he gets a spit shine in Chicago he could easily net another middling pick at the deadline

Nice to get a 2nd and a fairly skilled guy.....his production seems to be in decline and I hope this doesn't close the door on Domi, but the immediate team just got better.

But tge question now is:
Are we now too good to finish with high probability chance in the CElebrini sweepstakes?

We still have plenty of cap space for Domi. The bigger question for Domi is if he'll take a premium for a shorter deal (no more than 3 years ... but 2 years would be preferrable).

Bailey would struggle at the AHL level at this point. A second rounder is a no-brainer though.

He should fit right in with some of our 3rd/4th line forwards.

On board with spreading out the picks. Wouldn't have minded getting a 1st and us throw in a 2nd or 3rd we had, but Islanders probably afraid of being poor in the future.

But is this enough to satiate BWC's bloodlust?

Who cares. We got the #1 we wanted. We'll still be a lottery team next year.

 

[HeisenBaez]

At least 2 FRP for four straight years is LOL.

 

[SimpleJack]

KD is an absolute monster.

 

[Styles]

Going to go with no.

 

[jaysoneil]

Always liked Bailey. Good move for a 2nd.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Damn, that Considerations kid was a real heart and soul asset. He will be missed.

[ChiHawks10]

Interesting.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Didn't expect that.

I wonder why?

 

[ploppsdman]

Well. I guess i can sell my Josh Bailey Blackhawks jersey now.

A little confusing bc Chicago sucks. Why not see if he can establish any value? Meh.

 

[Naster Okan]

Nice! Another 4 out of 10 hockey move by Kyle from Chicago.

Probably not fast enough

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Forwards starting to get clogged up especially after free agency

 

[piteus]

Who is Bailey's agent? If he is powerful, the Blackhawks might be doing the agent a favor.
