Patches would play well with Toews I think, but I don’t see the hole you do. The Hawks have Saad at LW, who most Hawks fans and likely the team expect to bounce back. They also have Debrincat, who is stronger at LW than RW. D should be first priority, then securing a top 6 wing. Even then, they show probably go after a RW, or a 3C if they just want to move Schmaltz to wing to fill that hole.
Their looking at faulk , Skinner and Pac, I think if they get Pac 1st , then the domino affect would be trading,saad for faulk and Skinner, this way the only cap remaining is faulks , Skinner, Pac are free next summer , we have a RHD, schmaltz and sikura will get their raises next summer with no issues due to cap restraints with toews, Kane, Seabrook, Keith, Crawford all locked up for 5 to 6 years.
Saad may bounce back but if Pac is on this team then id think their next move is faulk and Skinner,
Rutta and Gustafson and maybe murphy are traded as well to make room cap wise and open spots for Forsling and Joki....
If that all happens Pac is a sou d 2 way forward however he maybe better suited on lanes line to have both top 2 lines have strongm2 way forwards, moving Skinner to the top with debrincant is pure speed and fire power to cover for toews who is on a decline but may become renergized.
