How the f*** is trading Romanov opening up cap space ffs.

We don't have to sign him to a $3m contract.

 

[Vachon23]

I don't mind the Romanov for 13th trade, I actually like it when I first hear it and was hopping we where trading up for Wright but getting Dach after that ??

 

[Nedved]

I imagine they think Guhle can make the team.

And slide in to play 18-20 minutes a night ?

 

[Koivu11]

I’ll be good with the Slafkovsky pick if we win the lottery next season.

Slafkovsky - Bedard - ?
? - Suzuki - Caufield

 

[Kairi Zaide]

congrats to youtuber Ryantheleader making it in the top 10

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Like Kotkaniemi had?

Lol.

He's nothing like KK. Dach can skate for one.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Not comparable at all.
Zib was scoring 20 goals/50pts per season in Ottawa before getting traded.

I mean at the same age he was putting up 30-40 points

 

[ReHabs]

My girlfriends grandfather owns a shitload of real estate in van like over a hundred million worth and he said to me ojce “if you take no risk you’ll make no money”

Well I thought taking a risk on Wright is the kind of thing that bears fruit. Taking a risk on Slafkovsky is the kind of thing that can have you living in a van by the river.

As for the 13 OA for Dach trade... I... that's an overpay. You guys are right.

 

[Adam Michaels]

He just told Renaud a simple "No"

 

[FrankMTL]

It’s not Romanov and 13. It’s Romanov + 2nd round and 3rd round. Not so bad to get Dach.

Isn't it Romanov + a 3rd rounder (66) + a 4th rounder (98)?

 

[The Great Weal]

Hes 22 man... give it time. He was awesome on breakouts.

19 points in 133 games... come on man he'll never break out offensively. He's a better player then Mete but neither can do anything offensively.

 

[1909]

There's a reason Chicago was willing to dump Dach for scraps. The guy has a bum wrist and was never all that impressive offensively. If they passed on Wright or Cooley because they knew they had Dach in the pipeline at C then it's IMO a stupid gamble. And if Slaf ends up an Armia type because his speed and low IQ are not up to snuff in the NHL (which is, honestly pretty likely) then this will look even worse. Sorry if I am not elated we are banking the next 10 years of this franchise on gambles and hopes and dreams.

Saflovsky is a high risk, high rewards kind of pick.... But it can fail miserably.

 

[Nedved]

I’ll be good with the Slafkovsky pick if we win the lottery next season.

Slafkovsky - Bedard - ?
? - Suzuki - Caufield

I think Slafkovsky is a second line winger. Caufield is a better winger.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I’ll be good with the Slafkovsky pick if we win the lottery next season.

Slafkovsky - Bedard - ?
? - Suzuki - Caufield

Even if they get Fantilli or Carlsson I'll be very happy

 

[Mrb1p]

If you want Dach, why not just move up a bit for Geekie?

 

[Runner77]

No!!!! We traded Romanov!!

I'm guessing Hughes had little choice. Didn't look like he had a shot at that 13th pick without Romanov. Dach looks like a beast, can't wait to find out what he does. Your end line center right there.

 

[SOLR]

I’ll be good with the Slafkovsky pick if we win the lottery next season.

Slafkovsky - Bedard - ?
? - Suzuki - Caufield

Obviously I want Bedard, but Dvorsky Slaf would be quite stunning too.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

And slide in to play 18-20 minutes a night ?

Sure. That's usually how it works for top prospects.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Not surprised. Bullish Swedish center.

Austrian

 

[Heffyhoof]

Considering who all I see complaining, and their average rate of being correct about anything, I feel very confident in this bold direction. You can't claim to "trust" HuGo if the caveat to that is only if they agree with everything you think.

 

[The Great Weal]

If you want Dach, why not just move up a bit for Geekie?

Dach is a significantly better skater

 

[MatWilson]

People need to look at the D-men coming up in the system. People also need to remember how many times our small forwards got pushed around. People also need to remember we have a great coach that completely turned Caufield's game around. Jesus... Progress is being made today.

 

[1909]

19 points in 133 games... come on man he'll never break out offensively. He's a better player then Mete but neither can do anything offensively.

But he was a reliable hard hitting d-man. Guhle better be ready. Harris too.

 

[Seb]

Saflovsky is a high risk, high rewards kind of pick.... But it can fail miserably.

As is Dach currently, HuGo went full praying mode tonight.

 

[LaP]

I'm not sure i prefer Dach upside. But he's right that neither of them has shown much outside of just belonging. I've not seen Dach enough with COVID and the fact Chicago has an awful team unpleasant to watch. I'm intrigued by the move. I'd say if both Romanov and Dach reach their potential i'm probably taking Dach. But it's a gamble for sure.
