A Reasonable Retool

Looks like Raddysh is the new "hot commodity". Not sure why everyone thinks he's available. After what Jeannot received at the TDL, I can't see the Hawks accepting this trade at all. They don't need to move him and they're really high on his development.

1) Chicago is JUST starting a rebuild. That's why Raddysh would probably be available. He's 25 years old and will probably be 30 by the time they start fighting for a playoff spot. He's wasted on them.

2) The Jeannot return is completely invalid. Tampa overpays each year. Now, I'm not saying CHI may want a little more than I'm offering, but you can't go by one team that historically overpays.

Hawks probably decline. For that offer, they'll probably just hang on to TRad. Poulin is too much of a risk at this point after stepping away from hockey for a big chunk of this season.

I agree with the 1st point 100%. The 2nd point is a bit more complicated. Yes, I shouldn't EXPECT the return that Jeannot received, BUT the Hawks are really high on TRad. He's their leading goal scorer...although that's not saying much... he's slightly cheaper than Jeannot. The best play is wait until the TDL and see who's desperate without cap space. Not an offseason move unless the acquiring team was willing to pay up.

Again, I'm not saying ANY team should try to trade for TRad. But even if the attempt could be made for that kind of trade...it's worth waiting to find out.

Hawks probably like their chances his value increases at the TDL then taking a chance on Poulin and a 25' 2nd.

Poulin value is probably the lowest its been and the 25' 2nd isn't so enticing now we have a an abundance of early round picks in the coming drafts.

I do think Raddysh would be complimentary to the Pens though struggle to see CHI not asking for a PIT 1st with the shallow depth in the prospect pool they currently have.
