It feels like were at the point where there was kinda an agreed upon price IF Lee was willing to waive to CHI. <em>(I think he would considering his wife's from here, they met at Notre Dame, etc... He'd be the 4th player off the top of my head that made this exact move.)</em> But the value keeps on slipping the more this gets discussed. Example...hey the previous post had an agreed upon (2) 2nds...I'll make it a 2nd and a 3rd....the next post will be a 2nd and a 4th...the next a 2nd and a 5th just to see what fans are willing to giving.

I'm open to bringing on Anders Lee. I think his contract term and his veteran leadership are (2) things that line up with the Hawks well. As far as the return...it'll be whatever it is.

Reichel came into this season having put on 10 lbs, and being specifically asked to step right into a 2nd line 2-way center NHL role, which he had never really played before. They were specifically focusing on and trying to develop his off puck and defensive play for a large portion of the 23-24 season. When things weren't working and they finally decided to pull the rug and move him back to wing, his confidence was shot. They pushed it as long as they could before sending him down to the AHL to get his confidence up and find his game again. So, there is a difference between having a "bad" season, and having a developmental season.

Holmstrom had the luxury of being on a significantly better team with better players, in a set role, and being able to just go out and play his game. Although, the Isles have had their struggles and hardships this season, Reichel was obviously in a much trickier and tougher situation.

I believe with another strong showing in the AHL playoffs, a good summer of training and rest, and settling into a winger role from the start next season, it will quickly become obvious that Reichel is the better and more desirable player in comparison to Holmstrom, and I think you know that, too. If y'all want to move Homstrom, I believe there is a price at which CHI might have interest, but it is very unlikely CHI does anything like this. Reichel fits CHI's system just fine, they are just a young developing team who ran some experiments that didn't work out. I wouldn't at all be surprised if CHI moved Reichel, but I doubt it would be for so little.
