Confirmed with Link: Hawks aquire Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway for 4th overall, 45th overall, and Crevier

[Hawkscap]

Wow. When can we get an average GM? His highlight was his street interview in Nashville.

 

[Kevin Musto]

CREVIER

 

[clydesdale line]

I'm good with trading Crevier. I can't stand gentle giants. Not a good passer in transition either. I'll miss his shot though. Thats about it.

 

[The Merchant]

If you guys are pissed about what you gave up, I implore you to go re-watch Bo's performance against Tampa in the SCF. He was arguably our best defenseman throughout that entire series. He has all the tools and always craved a #1 role, which he was never going to get in Colorado or Buffalo. He's gonna cook with Bedard. Still has Duncan Keith upside.

 

[CentralPA Hawk Fan2]

Bedard will not be on this team long term.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this move was made with keeping Bedard in mind

 

[MTU34]

Bedard just got a real PPQB

dude is doing backflips right now

Please name the time when Byram has ever QB’d a top powerplay unit in the NHL

 

[AmericanDream]

Korchinski....time to step the f*** up homie

 

[Panzerspitze]

Who tf is Jordan Greenway

former Wild draftee, part of the wave with Erikkson-Ek

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Weird f***ing overpay including Crevier.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I won’t be shocked if they find a winger for Bedard next. Make the push, can’t wait for prospects forever.

 

[Cashman]

Byram is exactly what this team needs. It's exactly what we lacked last season.

He can move the puck, play the pp and he has good size. He'll easily be a 50+ point player.

I don't know about you guys but I'm tired of watching shit hockey. I was tired of it in 2023. I'm sure Bedard is tired of 60 and 70 point seasons and missing the playoffs. It was time to make a move and bring in a proven soon to be top pair D.

Byram will be great for us for at least 8 seasons. Let's make the playoffs next year!

100% agree. I think this starts making things attractive for FAs and or trades. I LOVE this trade. People are over valuing the pick with what the Sharks did today.

 

[Paul Allen]

I agree completely but the 4th is a huge price.

Unless that player turns out to be a Dach or Turcotte.

 

[statswatcher]

Your balls are on the table now Kyle. Was fine waiting to see what would get done when it was time.

Byram better take a nuclear leap with more opportunity.

yeah, team has to be in the hunt for the playoffs at the very least. only way this becomes excusable.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I'm good with trading Crevier. I can't stand gentle giants. Not a good passer in transition either. I'll miss his shot though. Thats about it.

Exactly, I never got the obsession with him. He was tall and had a hard shot. Did nothing else you wanted out of a monster of a defenseman.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Kyle knows he's landing John Carlson

Byram-Carlson
Kaiser-Levshunov
Vlasic-Rinzel

 

[x Tame Impala]

Byram will be a stud for us no doubt. I’m happy we added him. Not happy with the value and if the $12.5 rumors are true then this is probably a bad deal overall.

 

[Panzerspitze]

We had an internal hire from the same gm tree that got famous by getting bent over and f***ed by Jarmo Kekalainen.

and by Ron Hextall (two seconds for a concussed Kimmo Timmomen)

 

[ndgt10]

Unless that player turns out to be a Dach or Turcotte.

What? They were in the trade.

 

[ClydeLee]

Crevier thing legit? Thats extra awful. I was just pointing out people were making a big thing about Kesselring but I would take Crevier over him easily. Kesselring hasnt even been a reliable PKer or more than a #5.

I hate it more. I was upset last offseason when fans kept penciling in Crevier as a 7 instead of regular player.

 

[AmericanDream]

I won’t be shocked if they find a winger for Bedard next. Make the push, can’t wait for prospects forever.

I think this statement made today proves that is happening as well.

 

[CallMeShaft]

I won’t be shocked if they find a winger for Bedard next. Make the push, can’t wait for prospects forever.

If that trade is anything like this, please no.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Unless that player turns out to be a Dach or Turcotte.

The 4th could turn into another Byram, but it will take six years for that player to reach that point.

 

[Blackhawks26]

We took a defenseman 2nd overall.

For this?

 

[Mrfenn92]

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I think this statement made today proves that is happening as well.

Korchinski is the next obvious piece to move, guessing a RHD is getting signed. Probably a Trouba.
