Confirmed with Link: Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway to Chicago for 4th Overall, 45th Overall, Louis Crevier

[Ace]

Someone called him a RD... Frank has him as a LD.... which is it?

At his size I’d imagine it hangs either way on occasion

 

[toddkaz]

Davidson - I will give you the 4th overall for Byram?
Jarmo - Nah I need more
Davidson - And the 45th overall?
Jarno snickers away from the phone then says - Nope, more....
Davison - And Crevier?
Jarno - Let me think about it, you need to take Greenway off my hands too!
Davidson - Deal no take backs!

ahahahaha

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

The Blackhawks radio announcers are going to be heart broken. I am fairly certain they loved Crevier even more than Bedard.

 

[Fezzy126]

There's already some rumors that Byram will extend for $12.5M AAV

if true, wow...

 

[Chainshot]

I would understand if they deal 4OA. I would also be giddy if they take Bjorck.

 

[Ace]

I’m so curious what they do with the pick. You can big game hunt with real ammo now. But if you hold it you’re guaranteed a really good player you aren’t paying for a while. Most likely at center.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Chicago fans are gonna be very angry when they realize Power being a workhorse is the reason Byram can not look like a disaster. He absolutely needs a stud partner, it might be ugly there next year.

12.5 x 7 will be a disaster

 

[majormajor]

Jarmo's trade history with the Blackhawks is incredible.

Dano and Anisimov for Brandon Saad

Brandon Saad for Artemi Panarin

Now Byram for the 4thOA ++

Edit: I even forgot the haul he got for Seth Jones.

RD

He played on a pair with Vlasic who's an LD

Bjorck is absolutely NHL ready. Sure he could maybe put on weight but his IQ is off the charts. I swear He could come in and make an impact THIS season.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Crevier and Timmins would make a nice third pairing!

Given he can't be extended until next week anyways, I'm not inclined to believe those numbers.

And at 4OA.......you're not waiting 4-5 years for him to arrive. Probably 1 more year of cooking then into the NHL.

 

[yasky]

Sounds like Chicago' was negotiating against itself here.

It would be awesome to have immediate help on the parent club.

They are both righties. Someone's going to be playing up with Power.

 

[Cirris]

I really think it might take that. Davidson has just dumped a ton of assets to get him, including taking on a 1 yr cap dump. He's gotta make sure Byram signs an extension. 12+ mil AAV seems like desperation, but Byram holds all the bargaining power.

How similar to Benson?

 

[Jetskiis]

IMO he is the single most talented player in the draft. If he was 3 inches taller hed be #1 by a mile

 

[Chainshot]

This seems like an Adams/Botterill type of move for Chicago.

 

[Dirty Dog]

They are both righties. Someone's going to be playing up with Power.

Team doesn’t really seem to care about handedness

 

[Jetskiis]

How similar to Benson?

VERY similar to benson. More Skilled More Disciplined, Prime Derek Roy with more talent


and he's a young 18, every single person thats met him has raved about his maturity. Kid does everything right. dude is a legit professional and was a top line center in the SHL as a 17 year old.

 

[oldgoalie]

IMO he is the single most talented player in the draft. If he was 3 inches taller hed be #1 by a mile

And you think he’ll be there at the 4th pick?

Ha, CapWages posted this trade too

I think them taking Levshunov over Demidov ripple effected itself into this win for us.

Now that Stenberg looks to be going to San Jose the dream of him falling to 4 is over…and they knew they weren’t getting that elite line mate for Bedard now either. So they had to choose between waiting on Reid or believing in Byram. I can’t believe what they chose. And then took Greenway. And then added a second.
