I don’t think pilon is enough to move up. Nor do I think the hawks want to move down.

Would you do Burakovsky instead?

Grubauer might work

Yall want gruby ?

Considering Crawford is a total unknown right now...they'll go no where if they don't have a viable option, regardless of whatever else they do. And Crawford is nearing the end of his career anyway, so addressing the long-term goaltender question would be good.

hmm thats interesting. Maybe a big deal between washington and chicago could go down? maybe we take saad off your hands?

Mmm...Orlov might need to be coming back in that case, or Samsonov. Preferably Orlov.

(hangs up the phone)

Exactly...there's nothing else you have you'd give up that Chicago could use for Saad. So what, he had a down (and very unlucky) year. Next to Ovechkin who knows what he would do. You're not getting a player like that for nothing.
