Strome isn't a 2C let a lone a 1C

Remove the 2nd in the hawks trade

anyone can be a 1C with inflated Laine numbers

Except Laine doesn't inflate anyone's numbers on his own.

I don’t like the deal for the hawks.

Ah yes, the guy who has averaged almost 0.75 points a game since becoming a Blackhawk is a 3C. Let’s be real here. He’s rebounded nicely.

Leafs can give you a 3rd and a 4th for Jenner.

He is not a 1C

It is fair to point out a great deal of that time has been spent with Kane and debrincat. If strome doesn’t have wingers around him (a la coyotes) that carry his load, it kinda becomes clear why people say he isn’t a 1C. That being said, he slots in okay at 2C so long as others do the tough work.

No way in hell Hawks trade Strome now, especially for that God awful return. Korpisalo is not a starting goalie. Change my mind. Second, with Toews likely ending his career or getting traded because he is pissed at the Hawks management and Dach out the rest of the year, unless Pius Suter, Mackenzie Entwistle, Barratt, or Wise are insane next season, Chicago has no 1st line center.
