Why are Hawks fans so obsessed with trading Anisimov? Someone would have to actually want him for starters.

I’d switch Kubalik and Sikura. Also your D pairings are incorrect. Seabrook likely with de Haan on second pairing and Gustafsson will be with Keith. IMO.

I also think Stan wouldn’t trade for another Dman. They have 4-5 prospects now (including Vlasic) who will all be NHL ready within 3 years. Jokiharju likely ready this year. Beaudin, Boqvist and Mitchell next season. No reason to pick up Pysyk.

$5M off the books and he’s easiest to trade. He’s the 3C which you could replace with Shaw/Dach (if he makes it) for cheaper and get better outcome.

Bowman was able to trade Rutta, Manning, and Forsling. None of them belong in the NHL and in return he got Koekkoek, Caggiula, and de Haan, respectively, in return. There is ALWAYS a market.
