Its been a while

First reasonable proposal I've seen from a Hawks fan involving the Canucks!

Value seems fair all round.

I've heard the Sharangovich rumors. IMO a 2nd is an overpayment at the moment for the Hawks (not an overpayment in general) because of where they are in the rebuild. IDK though, maybe landing Bedard makes this more justifiable to get young NHL talent around him.

Don't love the VGK trade for the hawks. I'd rather pick twice in the 2nd. And also, I think the hawks should be giving a lower pick in the 2nd, at minimum the Ottowa pick, in the VAN deal

Devils accept. I know that it may be "buying low" on Sharangovich and therefore an overpayment but he would thrive in an expanded role

I think you nailed it here. I don't think CHI should only focus on getting overpaid players and paid to take them on in the rebuild. At least Sharangovich is young, and may give Bedard someone with potential to grow. Unless CHI is committed to drafting with all those picks, it's probably smart to try and get some "now" talent that in the end is just for a mid 2nd.
