Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXII: Draft Day in Chicago - My Kinda Town?

[Doctyl]

valid point about the defense, wont matter if Hayes is the 2c, it just wont

Defense would make a world of difference. Just adding Smith made a difference last season. If we keep him and we replace Girardi with Shattenkirk, that would be huge.

I do seriously hope Hayes at 2C isn't the plan though.

defense would be top notch, but center is still a very important position.

we have 15M in cap space even after Shattenkirk so I'm guessing not.

I agree they need to address it eventually but they need to do it smartly

Their biggest assets now tho are the 7th OA, Skjei? (not happening) and Miller maybe?..

They could trade Nash for a couple of assets. I'd say the 21st OA is probably more available than 7

 

[duhmetreE]

I really do not want Shattenkirk... unless he comes at 5x5 and without a NMC/NTC.

not sure you're going to get even a 2c for #21.

What would RNH cost?

Knowing what Eberle just got back...

[RGY]

It was fair, get over it.

Roll your eyes all you want and tell yourself whatever you need to believe because you got what you wanted which was Step traded...

But Arizona won that trade.

 

[darko]

OMG I was just thinking I wonder what guys who are overseas might wake up to with this trade.

What threw me off was people including 7OA in there proposals. Wtf we are not picking 7th. .... wait a minute lol

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Quiet right now...

Worth more than Eberle. I'd love to get RNH though

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I would love the defense fixed... absolutely love it..

I also realize (this is at the moment of course) if Zibanejad gets hurt again, Kevin hayes is your #1 center... why would we want to try to "contend" instead of sell off major pieces for valuable assets?

That's an interesting thought...

As 10 other posters tell you it was fair Your basically in your own world on this one.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

We need 2 Ds and a C.

Oshie is none of those things. He's gonna sign in Chicago.

 

[NYR]

There was nothing fair about that.

We gave them a 2C at 27 years old with loads of playoff experience and potentially their starting goalie.

Stop with this fair value ********

They still have time to make some moves but I'm with you on this.
It's a one sided deal in every sense of the word.
The #7 pick isn't going to be ready to see the ice for a few years, if at all.
In no way does this help the team right now which has gaping holes in the D and now adding to that no center depth.

I think everyone sees that. But not every player is available at the same time. Johansen was a middle of the year trade. Those guys become available but it doesn't need to be at the same time. Fix the defense while you can (at a reasonable cost of course, no Shattenkirk for 7 years @ $7m)

Wouldn't be a bad option. Don't have much I'd be willing to give up.
