I would be ecstatic if we traded Kane and Toews at the deadline and they both resigned the following year. Would they be willing to resign after leaving the team? Would the hawks want them back? I really don't know. Only they can say for sure when/if that time comes. Getting Bedard to speed up the rebuild could be enticing for them to come back. Kane may want to snag some of these all time hawks records. Toews turns into Jordan Staal, the 3C leader but on a good cap hit. If you sign O'Reilly to that deal, I'd prefer shorter term, even if it meant higher AAV. They have the cap space short term. Two guys I'd like to sign if we get Bedard for short term - fill the time stints are Raanta and Haula. I don't want to get Bedard and just jump right back at it with reckless FA signings. Trust the rebuild process for another year or two after getting Bedard then start building around him. Gives time for Nazar to join. Hopefully Korchinski, Slaggert, our other first rounders or whoever else earns their spot. It's unlikely he leads the team to a cup his rookie year. But need to make sure he has decent enough linemates to build confidence and grow professionally.
