Is this all we are gonna be seeing for the next 3 months?

Yes

Hawks don't trade a 1st and 2nd for a 1 year rental.

why wouldn't he extend. big market. playing beside Bedard. ez.

this is looking more and more like the old leafs team

I'd much rather have Vilardi at ~$3M than Marner at $11M. Kings pass.

Willy on Bedard's wing would be fun. Even if Willy does extend, he'll be 31 or 32 before the Hawks are back in the playoffs. Hawks are committed to building organically through the draft. They aren't going to pay free agents big money until they ID which specific spots they need to fill.

I like W Nylander, he's probably the most talented in his family. I loved his father in Chicago. I got a chance to meet him and he's a really cool guy. His brother, on the other hand didn't work out so well. The issue is the draft capital to acquire someone on an expiring contract with MAYBE a chance that he re-signs when it's up. KD hasn't shown the tendency to gamble and at this point in the rebuild, there's no reason he should. If Nylander wants to play with Bedard, he'll sign here when he's a UFA and the Hawks keep their picks.

Appreciate the responses. Cheers
