As a hawks fan. I’m gonna tell you to prentend like that LW doesn’t exist because he is a good center. Just not an ohmagherd 3OA pick good!!

We have Norris and Pinto while Strome will need a bit of a time to adjust to his new team.

So, that's why I have him as the #2 LW behind Stutzle.



Players that have netted their former teams a 2nd and a 3rd include Mattias Janmark, Viktor Arvidsson, Andrew Shaw, Andre Burakovsky, Gustav Nyquist and Mats Zucarello.

This make a lot more sense for Ottawa than just giving up on a blue-chip prospect after he played only 1 year in North America as a pro.

Defensemen take longer than forwards to develop, so there's absolutely no reason to just give up on him.

Switch it to your own 2nd and 3rd and you have a deal

Done

"Giving up on" classic biased rhetoric

It isn't giving up on anyone being traded for a quality player, and since the offer is light to begin with, Ottawa wins that other trade hands down.

While I’m not going to disrespect your facts and view, I just believe strome should only be traded for picks or straight up hockey trade.

You do realize it usually takes a minimum of 3 years to develop a prospect drafted high in the second round?

Not everyone is going to be as lucky as Shane Pinto.

Ottawa needs to compete sooner or later and maybe having a NHL ready player within 2 years like Lassi is better than having none.



Odds that a 2nd round pick plays more than a 100 NHL games are only 35%.

Lassi Thomson is the guy we drafted with a first round pick after getting burned with the Matt Duchene debacle.

And you give it up just like that?

If Strome is a quality player for you, I wonder who else would qualify.



Here's a question:

Is the difference between Lassi Thomson and a second round pick a 4th round pick?

In other words, does ...

Lassi Thomson - Ottawa's 2nd = Chicago's 4th?



Last time I checked, it costs another 2nd round pick minimum to go from 32nd overall to 19th overall.

And that's assuming Ottawa's 2nd for 2022 is 32nd overall, which it won't be.




I win the Dylan Strome trade hands down while you're getting fleeced.
