I would strongly consider this. I am a big fan of Ryan Hartman

It's a pretty solid trade both ways, I also really love Hartman and don't want to see him go.

I think this is good. I'd just simplify it to Hartman + 2018 1st for Simmonds and would think Phi should strongly consider it. I've been thinking Phi needs to rebuild for 3 or 4 years by trading Giroux, Simmonds and Voracek. I don't understand why they don't because I feel they have a strong enough following to sell tickets even without name brand players. This would be a step in the right direction for them to start banking some futures to go along with their young Defensemen.

I am a hawks fan and I hate this trade. I would love to have simmonds.... but the reason i don't like it is panik is a cheaper version of simmonds albeit not as good but still a similar role. Secondly Chicago is going to need guys like panik and Hartmann who can play fairly big minutes and are on cheaper contracts which Chicago needs. I would rather see them keep the team very similar and target a rental at the deadline.... preferably a D man and then look to add a piece or two in the offseason. Retaining young talented guys on cap friendly contracts is the way to the cup. Chicago needs to hold on to youth and talent. What do you think Simmonds signs for next contract? can Chicago afford to take that hit?
