Sujet: Do a full rebuild - Trade for picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MaltePalte</b></div><div>Okey, I would love to hear your opinion why. I think that Hawks can't win a trade for Seth Jones, the team who gets him is going to overpay... And he is IMO very overrated.</div></div>

Well, that's the difference right there. You think he's very overrated. I do not. I don't think he's a hart candidate...so please dont take it that way. I just think 2-way dmen are MUCH harder to find than offensively minded dmen. So a Morgan Rielly or Dougie Hamilton are significantly less interesting to me. They want BIG money for something that's more easily replaceable. Boqvist will be the Hawks offensively gifted dman.

As for winning a trade...that all depends too. He's been vocal about wanting to test free agency. He's also been vocal about CHI being a very interesting destination. CBJ knows they can't keep him AND Jones has a modified NTC...so he can't be sent to just any old team. I would imagine Strome going the other way. Maybe zadorov too if they want to retain some physicality. Maybe Vlasic too. He was a pretty early 2nd rounder. Big guy. he'd help that transition along faster than a pick. CBJ likely does NOT want a 4th 2021 1st. That's just a ton of picks for a draft that supposedly wasn't that great.

In all sincerity, I just don't want a goalie to be drafted. I previously did a write up about goalie success in the NHL. The details are so far back that I can't seem to find them. Anyway, the results are that 1st round goalies don't really pan out. Sure, there's always the Carey Price or Vasilevsky's of the world, but there are far more failed 1st round goalies than successful. Malcom Subban was literally 5 picks behind Vasilevsky. Mark Visentin, Jack Campbell...both 10 years ago... Chet Pickard, Thomas McCollum....12 years ago. Ilya Samsanov in 2015...tbd Jake Oettinger...tbd

BUT WAIT, isn't that true for everyone position? Kinda, but not really. If you go around the NHL today, you'll see that there are more starting goalies drafted in the 2nd than the 3rd, BUT even more from the 3rd than the 1st. That isn't the case for #1 Centers. They're almost exclusively 1st rounders with a very few exceptions. Go get extra lower picks, draft, and properly develop them.
