A Mrazek Idea

Équipe: 2022-23 Blackhawks de Chicago

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Last year Nashville traded two 2nd round picks (39th and 50th overall) to move up to 26th overall (owned by Carolina).

Toronto currently holds the 25th overall pick. Chicago doesn’t have a 1st rounder but they do have two 2nds (38th and 56th I think). There’s a little bit of a difference in spots given up/gained compared to the Nashville deal last year, so Chicago would potentially have to add a mid-round pick like a late third or early 4th type thing.

Something like:
To CHI:
25th overall

To TOR:
38th overall
56th overall
89th overall

The value isn’t exact or anything, just an outline of my idea so don’t get your panties in a bunch lol.

Using that trade above, and adding the rumoured interest in Mrazek from Chicago, we can work out something like this:

To CHI:
Mrazek, Petr
Abruzzese, Nick
25th overall

To TOR:
38th overall
89th overall

Again, the value isn’t exact or anything, but this essentially means dumping Mrazek would cost a mid/late 2nd or so.

It also means Chicago gets a goalie under contract for next season and gets back into the 1st round this year. Toronto clears cap and gains an extra pick bringing their total from 3 to 4 in this draft.

Seems like a win-win to me, but let me know what you think.
