No reason to do the DET trade. Even if Leddy was good, just sign him in the off season.

I think we should be sellers but I'm pretty certain Davidson and King think we can get back in the wildcard hunt, only 8 pts out right now

We'll see where were at in March. It's a long way away. Things can go in either direction.

The scary thing is Kane is heating up so they will probably get close to the wildcard, not sell at the deadline, and miss the playoffs anyways. Aka worst case scenario.

Yeah that's where my thinking was. Kane is finally rolling, Toews is playing much better compared to the start of the year, and Flower is red hot as well. Heck even Kurashev has looked great. Really glad they send Reichel back down honestly. He looked as advertised imo, especially the 2nd game, and is probably better than Strome right now and definetly better than Borgstom.

I mean, I’m not particularly high on Strome, but as CBJ I will take that 100%.

games in hand though. Yes 8 points out of the 2nd with the Sharks, but the Flames are 2 points out and have 5 games in hand on the sharks, 4 on the hawks. Same for Winnipeg 5 games in hand on the Sharks, 4 on the hawks but only 3 points out

Bit of fools gold right now looking at the standings until those teams in the hunt with 4-5 games either start losing a bunch and the hawks have to go on a crazy run, like a 10 game winning streak type of run

Is this a joke? The hawks aren't making the playoffs, So why would we trade Leddy to them? Leddy only gets dealt to a legit contender and Chicago isn't one for a late 1st round pick.

Detroit trade isn't far off, maybe add a 2nd or third or so. Don't know why Chicago would want him though unless they really surge in the second half of the season.
Crazy comebacks happen sometimes. You never know.

for sure. Long way to go till the march TDL though

Kaut for Fleury is not a thing.
