Chicago wouldn’t be trading D prospects for forwards when we are trying to improve our future defense especially not Beaudin

I did add bear to replace some spot

I understand that not everybody watches the Oilers and I also understand that fans tend to overvalue players from their respecitve teams and undervalue players from other teams. On top of that Bear didn't have a good season. BUT Bear is a 24 year old player who already played two seasons in the NHL. Even this year he was fringe top 4 and he has the potential to develop into a top 4 D. Trading him for Keith would be a crime by Holland.

Also playing him LD makes no sense.

Ken Holland:

In the Drouin trade will you be interested in switching Nylander and Beaudin with Strome and Mitchell

Done

I've said this on other posts, the Hawks will get fleeced on the Keith trade because they have no leverage. Jones and Koskinen for Keith 50% retained.
