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

[AmericanDream]

The tank is officially over.

Thank f***ing God.

 

[ello]

Why in the world did we have to add to 4 to get Byram Jesus Christ

KD's too green for this

I like the player but we overpaid by like 30% in value holy shit

 

[Hawkaholic]

I loved Byram in his draft. Have no issue with this move if more is to come. All of you who have been crying left and right over some of us saying moves will be made, you can now jump off the bandwagon...but this was the cost to land a player that YOUR HERO GM obviously wanted. And despite the fact that KD sleeps in Knies pjs, he clearly feels that what Byram can do right now and the future will help the other young dmen and take pressure off them which Reid or Carels simply wouldnt be able to do for maybe 3-4 years.

KD wasn't our hero, he was doing well up until making a move that you guys wanted him to make. Now he looks bad, because he made a big move and it cost a lot.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

In all fairness we just all think your an idiot

Just kidding

Haha! I am quite often but I feel like I was less so than usual on this front.

 

[AmericanDream]

Why would you add anything to the the 4th OA for Byram?

Because he is 25 years old and the next coming of Keith...

 

[statswatcher]

if byram was really the answer all along, then godspeed. hopefully we aren't done seriously talking about this team come january, because if they aren't in the hunt down the back half morale is going to be very low.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

There is no f***ing defending this

A f***ing disaster of a move

 

[Kevin Musto]

I expected overreaction. Not a huge fan but we’re instantly better NEXT season. Let it play out. Just sucks Byram wasn’t ours from the get go.

Kyle turned Dach into Nazar tho

 

[ClydeLee]

Curious now, is the plan to add a RD? Or have EDM or Korch/Kaiser play RD?

 

[Blackhawks26]

asking a 20 year old to QB the top power play is a ridiculous ask to begin with

Dude byram is a UFA next summer. This was a massive reach. There’s no guarantee he even stays.

Kaiser will play on the right side

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If anyone wondered what Mike Milbury as a GM in 2026 would look like,, Well here you go

Musto may be right in that they back up a Brinks truck for John Carlson

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Del Mastro has played lots of RD.

There were reports that Korchinski is probably getting a fresh start somewhere.

If this isnt have an extension already in plaxe

BAH GAWD THAT'S JOHN CARLSON'S MUSIC

There is no f***ing defending this

A f***ing disaster of a move

If the scouts don’t view anybody outside of McKenna and Stenberg as being difference makers, is it defensible?

I’m willing to bet that’s exactly how the front office views this draft.

 

[Mister X]

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of this trade, but I think the SJ trade earlier kind of made it an obvious move for Davidson.

Gives us a young but experienced defenseman to grow the blue line. Though we still have some glaring holes on the top 6 to iron out.

 

[AmericanDream]

KD wasn't our hero, he was doing well up until making a move that you guys wanted him to make. Now he looks bad, because he made a big move and it cost a lot.

Oh if he asked you to drink a glass of koolaide some of you would do so without hesitation...it was spooky how he could do no wrong because some of you thought you knew what the plan was and the rest of us were so wrong.

 

[Pile]

Kyle turned Dach into Nazar tho

touché

 

[RememberTheRoar]

f***nuts Frank says San Jose’s move did play a factor.

 

[AmericanDream]

If anyone wondered what Mike Milbury as a GM in 2026 would look like,, Well here you go

Outside of Jankowski, no move would please you which is insane as you were someone begging for moves to be made as well.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

BAH GAWD THAT'S JOHN CARLSON'S MUSIC

Carlson and Byram are redundant lol why would you overpay for Byram and then turn around and sign a better pp guy?

 

[Kevin Musto]

people out here still glazing the Sharks rebuild

they don't have any defensemen anywhere close to Byram

 

[Hattrick Kane]

If the scouts don’t view anybody outside of McKenna and Stenberg as being difference makers, is it defensible?

I’m willing to bet that’s exactly how the front office views this draft.

It is certainly how I view the draft.

I watched Kitchener’s run in the OHL playoffs, and when they played Reid, my god did he blow chunks.

Verhoeff, we know he’s a big nothing burger. Carels, oh he likes to hit? So what?

The only defenseman I liked was Smits but he wasn’t in the 4th overall range. So moving the puck never bothered me.
