Sujet: HayesTDA to Chicago
No offense, but I'm struggling to find a reason why Chicago would entertain this. They're rebuilding, picks and prospects are the most valuable commodities to them right now. Here they lose a 2nd, lose a prospect who just had a really nice year, and downgrade their 1st in a really good draft.

Now, it might be worthwhile if the Hawks thought they could flip TDA and Hayes for more value at a later date. However, that's not something I would be willing to gamble on, personally. Even if I was, I doubt the Hawks would be willing to bring in these two players, specifically. They've had a lot of off-ice stuff going on over the last 3 years, I doubt they want to bring in TDA who's had problems throughout his career with controversy off-ice. Hayes doesn't have that same issue, but I think there's still some dislike for him amongst Blackhawks fans. I certainly don't care for him.

Sujet: Bedard to Columbus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Josh_King</b></div><div>These are all very astute observations but people do realize more than half of chicagos roster and prospects are still unsigned? With everything going on I wonder how many of those players are staying and how many sign with new teams, but that also aligns with another problem which is the depth on the team is already terrible. And if Chicago really wants to structure the team for a championship like Florida or Vegas you need developed established players in the league who can play all sides in order to succeed in the playoffs and Chicago is nowhere near that anywhere. Now free agency change both situations but nobody on Chicago plays the way bedard does except for maybe reichel and that sticks bedard and the hawks right into complete mediocrity, and that’s IF bedard can carry the entire team on his back right out the gate. Which has not gone to plan for the most recent 1st round picks.</div></div>
Not really sure what you’re talking about here. The only signings of consequence they have to make are Kurashev and Regula. And yeah they have no depth, they just finished year 1 of a rebuild. They tore it down to the studs and sold off anything of value. They’re not expecting Bedard to carry them anywhere for at least 2 or 3 years. That’s why they’ve loaded up on draft capital over the next 3 years.

Sujet: The Kid and The Cat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>Jake had more points per game and goals per game this season while being better defensively and has more term at a lower number. Really the only advantage cat has is age imo

A trade for cat would not involve guentzel, being my point. I think it could (it won’t but it could) happen tho, it would probably include Marino a couple prospects and draft picks</div></div>
I don’t think Guentzel is better defensively than Debrincat, pretty much ever stat I’ve seen puts Debrincat in front. Production wise they’re pretty identical players in my view. Guentzel scored slightly more, Debrincat played on a team where he and Kane were the only real offensive threats. Overall I think they’re pretty similar as players for whatever that does for the value comparison.

In the end though, Pitt just doesn’t have the pieces to get it done. If they’re moving Debrincat it’s because they think he will be approaching the end of his prime when they are ready to contend. Marino is older than Debrincat. At the end of the day, the Hawks are going to want multiple high-end picks/prospects, which the Pens really just don’t have.
