Trading a 1st for a goalie is only the second worst part of this ACGM. The worst part is signing the decrepit, negative impact, corpse of Patrick Kane's career.

Not trading a first for demko

👏👏👏

I'd sign Kane, but he's not taking Tuch's spot. Dude needs to shut it down but can't because if he does Chicago can't get anything for him. $hitty situation for him to be in now, but perfect for a short term UFA deal on his home town team who is primed to make a run

No to Demko, especially at that. 3yrs for Girgensons and 3yrs 3m Avv for Okposo. Hopefully only 1 is brought back and no way to Kane at that price. Rather just use the pieces from the Demko trade to get Timo.

Barf. He's a total defensive liability and has seen his 5v5 scoring absolutely plummet over the last 4 years.
I think having Patrick Kane signed to a pro contract is inexcusable for any GM going forward.
I have loads of respect for the player he was and how great he was, but he's totally cooked.

Can we all please stop with the Okposo talk, his career is OVER. He has 7 goals this year, he is getting slower and slower, he no longer hits and he cant fight for fear of another concussion.. For 3M yearly we can actually bring in a player that will have some impact,

He needs hip surgery and almost every offensive leader in the league could be considered a defensive liability, the last 4 years have been far from normal, however: 256 games over the last 4 years 88 goals 283 pts
5v5 goals %
19-20 = .76
20-21= .8
21-22= .65
*22-23= .86
4 year Avg= .77
Career average= .72

5v5 points %
19-20 = .73
20-21= .67
21-22= .66
*22-23= .61

Career average= .67

I don't know what blog you picked up that opinion from but they're wrong
