26 top ten protected 1st
To CHI:
Barzal
Dobson
Pelech
Why:
Chicago does this to acquire impact players at position of need getting Barzal to be an impact forward with Bedard and getting a top pair rhd to insulate levushunov and pelech to be the steady lhd vet to play with lev. This bolsters their forward core immediately giving the top 6 another much needed play driver to take pressure off of nazar and bedard. The d-core is immediately improved and would be among the best if they mesh First pair of: Vlasic-Dobson 2nd
elech-Lev/murphy 3rd:Kaiser-Murphy/Lev In all likelyhood chicago probably dumps murphy in this scenario for cap reasons. Of course they give up great futre assets and it hurts by losing 3rd Moore and Rinzel along with a 26 protected first as well but it should, and here is why New york does it.
The isle do this because they see the direction they're heading, sure they jumped up alot but they see this trend is going to keep happening as their core is aging out and they notice the only player in their forward system is eiserman and for defense sans shaeffer is pulikken. They need to bolster their prospect pool in a big way By guranteeing hagens who looks to still have a 1c ceiling despite the drop in his rankings, Moore who looks to also have solid mid six upside with a shot at being a bonafide 2c, Rinzel who looks to be an effective top 4 rhd who could pair very well with Shaeffer and be considered a top pairing guy. Then Korchinski a solid prospect who was rushed to early in the nhl due to lack of depth but a solid year in the ahl and former top 7 pick looks like he could still turn around and be a puck moving 3d along with ryan greene who had really solid years in the ncaa and a mid six forward. This bolsters the youth movement and prospect pool by securing a few grade A prospects and an elite talent in hagens They give up a 1c in barzal not an elite 1c but still a top 20ish guy who was injured last year and is turning 28,Dobson capable of elite 1d play but his production fell of a bit last year but still solid numbers in the role regardless and pelech an underated top 4lhd they sacrifce three major pieces in their current core but pelech is 30 barzal is 28 along with dobson 25 an rfa who might have contract issues not old at all but old for a core that is going to transitioning to rebuild mode especially since they missed the playoffs and the core didn't get it done this trade puts them in the hunt for Mckenna and securing a hometown guy in hagens.Nyi prospect pool after trade:
