Sujet: Someone elses eichel trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Not to mention we gut our defense here losing both Keith and Boqvist. De Haan is definitely not a first liner, Beaudin is not ready for 2nd line duties, and Nylander is not ready to be counted on. This team is noticeably worse then without the trade, brutal looking on defense.</div></div>

Keith is not a first liner anymore either. If beaudin can't handle 2nd line yet, trade maatta and use that cap to sign a decent 2nd liner. And I don't think being on a line with kane and eichel is considered being counted on. If nylander can't handle every players dream job then put caggiula there. All he'd have to do is play the anisimov role. Get kane or eichel the puck and stand in front of the net. This team makes the playoffs. The current hawks finished last in the division.

Sujet: Someone elses eichel trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I don't think it makes sense for the hawks to get eichel. Giving up 4 big time roster players and a top 10 pick for one superstar player doesn't make us any more of a contender in my opinion. The hawks won their stanley cups with tons of depth are the core. The core is now weaker than it was back then and we have no depth around it. This team would be just as mediocre as the current team in my opinion</div></div>

I agree about the depth but I disagree that this team would be mediocre. Having a Eichel kane line would look a lot like the kane panarin line. They'd be deadly and if the toews line produces like it did this past season they would easily make the playoffs. If Dehaan is healthy he can take keiths role. Losing boqvist hurts but addind mitchell should help fill that hole a little bit. Losing cat would hurt but nylander probably has a breakout year on this line. Losing strome is nothing. And the 1st is always a toss up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>I would agree it’s not a terrible Eichel trade because each player (except Keith) has such a big upside but also a big down side. Lots of question marks. Did Strome regress or was his first season with Hawks a fluke? Is Cat a 20 or 40 goal scorer who doesn’t/can’t play defense? Is Boqvist going to live up to his offensive potential and/or become more defensively sound? The answers could go either way. Big IFs here but if all 3 players are flukes, Hawk get Eichel for a ton of spare parts and salary cap relief.

That said, not convinced the Hawks are better after the trade than before. Eichel doesn’t exceed the sum of the parts but that’s always been a personal belief of mine... I’d rather have 3 players than 1.</div></div>

I'm not a big strome believer. I think Cat and boqvist are the big losses for the hawks. If mitchell and beaudin keep progressing it won't be as bad for the hawks but they don't really have a Debrincat replacement. They would need to sign a winger for around 4-5 mil
