I think it's a tough sell and don't like the idea of Walhstrom. Wahlstrom's stock has fallen after having a so so year in the NCAA and a good but hardly great year in the AHL. He's far from a sure bet and could easily end up being only a 3rd line winger in his NHL career. Regarding Bode, if we didn't have Boqvist, Mitchell and Regula as prospects on the right side, I think the value of Bode in the trade would be much higher to the Hawks. Don't get me wrong, I like Bode but if he was a left hander, this trade would be more interesting for sure.
I think the Hawks need to pass not because of value on paper but because of gambling that Wahlstrom can really step it up and not sure he can. Bird in hand (Kubalik) is almost always better then gambling.
