I don`t think we need Kirby Dach and Alex DeBrincat so much. But if Chicago doesn`t want to trade nobody from the couple Reichel/Boqvist and give Jarmo Kubalik, Murphy. Beaudin and Mitchell without Reichel or even Dylan Strome, I doubt Jarmo will agree. And I`m worried that this is what is happening.
Two of Boqvist, Reichel, #11 or 2022 1st need to be coming the other way tonight. Otherwise, Jarmo should hold. If that isn't offered by Chicago today/tonight, then other opportunities that will likely be better will present themselves in the future.
Even if better opportunities don't present themselves, he'll be able to get something later down the line that's at least equivalent to a Mitchell + 2nd + Strome or whatever Chicago is offering oh-so-generously to "try hard" to help us get something done. And he'll show he won't be pushed over, an important factor in future negotiations (if this was the only trade Jarmo would make, that's not that big of a deal. But given this 'game' of trading will repeatedly happen in the future, it's important to show you won't just be a pushover. Similar to the prisoner's dilemma, where the rational decision can vary depending on whether it's a one-time game or infinite.)
I've now brought up sunk costs and prisoner's dilemma in separate posts this week. What a time to be alive.
