I think the Hawks could get a bit more in that Keith trade, but I like the Lightning trade a lot. I am confused why you don't just reunite all three otters players on the same line?

Dylan Sikura is more valuable than Taylor Raddysh IMO, just because he is underrated.

I agree the offer for Keith is very light especially with Forsling and Perlini and the 2 returning picks included, its actually way off... way way off even more I think about it... something like that to take the Seabrook contract but not Keith... Keith alone would be a first, Perlini and Forsling together would be late first early second range... the Vancouver trade is pretty good, right close to where I feel it should be value wise, or a straight up second. I too would like to see Raddysh on the Hawks with Stroke and DeBrincat!

Raddysh is a winger goal scorer and Sikura is a natural playmaking center. With Strome solidify himself as a second line center, Barratt who is also a playmaking center, and Matthew Highmore who should be slotted into the roster next year, the Hawks have plenty depth there. As the trade says, it's also about opening some roster spots in the AHL. If Raddysh does not make the team out of camp, he will slot into the first line in Rockford and will be playing with his brother Darren who has been a solid defensemen for the Hogs. Rockford has no awesome RW's. Also, Sikura's contract expires and Taylor still has another 2 years on his ELC. Sikura could ask for a one-way contract which would be problematic for developing players like Barratt.

I understand what you mean but I was saying that by trading Sikura you automatically lose value becuase he underrated and you will never get his true value. In other words I would make the trade but ask for more.
