If Chicago is willing to trade those picks, it's for quality over quantity. There are some interesting pieces in that proposal but as a whole, Chicago declines. Too many replacement level players mixed in with a few intriguing ones.

I don't think we can afford to trade Hogs

Ah yes. The always popular 8 players for 1 trade. Hawks might be interested in Soderstrom and McBain, but the rest of those guys don't have a place in Chicago.

No thanks. A bunch of seconds and we have to retain?

Na from edm. id rather keep the cheap young 3C whos improved year over year and look to FA to add a depth goalie or 2 nd keep Pickard and run a backup rotation throughout the year then get a 1 year of a backup when we are in a cap crunch and need depth fwds
