As a hawks fan, if we put together that package and only got Nylander in return I would be livid. Not trying to knock Nylander but I don’t think he’d come close to bringing in that return, as these assets stand now. If Mitchell pans out the way he is projected, Toronto might have their new top RD for the next 10 years. (Might be top guy, not guarantee, his potential is very high). That 1st rounder is likely a lottery pick. A rebuilding team trading away their first rounder is a move no NHL should ever make. Every asset going to Toronto has great value. Adding Dermott and the 3rds feel like throw in pieces. So as things stand now, that’s an easy no for me. I have no problem saying that is way too much for Nylander. He is not that special to warrant that return.
However, this trade is for 2022. These assets value will change by then. Could this trade make sense in 2022? Yeah it could. Could it be a bad trade for Toronto or a bad trade for Chicago? Yeah it could. But evaluating everybody where they stand now, I’d have to say no as a hawks fan.
