[Duck Off]

Holy freaking god

 

[Schennanigans]

How do they trade away the potential for a line mate for Bedard that they really need.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Is the draft just ass that everyone trading picks lol

there'S several report that states that this is a weaker draft.... but this is still a top 4 pick for f***sakes

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So I'm jumping on the Buffalo Bandwagon. lol

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Chicago's taking the Greenway contract, too? Wow. I'm super-high on Byram, but that's a lot to give up.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

As someone who wants to see Bedard succeed this pisses me off. Lol

 

[TotalHomer]

Well done Jarmo

 

[viper0220]

Chicago gives up the chance to draft one of Reid, Carels, Bjorck, or Malholtra for the opportunity to overpay Byram

Holy shit.

[boredmale]

A top 5 pick has finally been traded . . my goodness hell has frozen over.

 

[NYI365]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say the Bedard Era Blackhawks won't sniff anything close to Toews/Kane era Hawks. Good f***ing God.

 

[Zarzh]

I'd much rather have just picked Smits or Carels.

 

[waitin425]

wowzers

 

[Dirty Dog]

Byram plus a cap dump for fourth overall? What else is going to be in this trade…?!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

First Top 5 pick knowingly traded since 2008…

… for Byram?

 

[Waldorf]

looks good

 

[Aashir]

Oh man... you know what PV... you go ahead and go back to bed... you dont need to be involved in tonights "bloody tuesday"

Leo Carlson and Gauthier combined are about to make a bazillion gazillion dollars

Hell mintyukov might make a lot lol

Jarmo cashing in on his tasteful Illinois nudes collection

I don't mean this as an exaggeration, but this may genuinely be the worst trade and signing I can recall a team making if that $12.5x7 number ends up true. Byram is Chychrun minus the shot. You don't give up a #4 pick+ (which includes taking back a cap dump) and sign him to be the highest paid defenseman in the NHL to be a Chychrun-lite player.

I just can't fathom how a NHL team watches Bowen Byram and makes this decision. I don't even mean this as a knock on Byram. He's just simply not worth this.

 

[Castle8130]

Worst trade in NHL history? Almost as bad as drafting Levhsunov over Demidov

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Jesus Christ. This is insane.

 

[Djp]

 

[Maitz]

They get Chase Reid/Carels at 4 and Tuch extension ? Pretty sure it's to sign Tuch

 

[PensandCaps]

12.5 for Byram?? bro what has he done to earn that.

#3 Dmen getting this money is crazy. What would Hutson get? 18?

Man were they smart to lock up Lane before the cap went crazy, 8.5 is a STEAL.

This deal will f*** over so many teams with young elite D due for an extension.
