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

[RememberTheRoar]

If so, we traded a 4th overall pick for a proven 4th overall pick who can help now. Lots of these picks don't pan out and many turn into absolute studs. Either way its likely the top 4 D are:

Byram-Rinzel
Vlasic-Crevier/Lev

Ya, that’s just the fact of the matter. I think it was too much to trade, I think he probably could’ve landed someone better, but this defense is better now. Maybe one day they can turn into the Predators with a slightly better offense.

 

[Kevin Musto]

1D + PP1

gonna be a star in Chicago

 

[Toews2Bickell]

SJ probably had an offer with #9 and KD panicked. Hopefully, it's EDM going the other way and no one better. Already a huge overpay.

IDK why he would but if he did the odds he doesn't make it long enough to see it out increases anyway

 

[statswatcher]

Gotta believe the 20th pick is coming back.

no point in wasting perfectly good hopium on this shit.

I really wanted Byram in the draft he went in. I just never thought KD would still ignore Bedard getting a winger and move the #4 overall pick for Byram

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Byram is just about to enter his prime

Chicago got a 1D and y'all are complaining that they won't be drafting a 2C or 2/3D instead

He just actually needs to reach that level, then nobody will be upset with this trade (well, I’m sure not nobody).

Anything short of true 1D starting next year and this will be a bad trade.

 

[JaegerDice]

Shit trade.

 

[clydesdale line]

The thing I don't get is.. Byram better be on PP1 now and obviously be your PK1 guy. He's our #1 defenseman now longterm. Levshunov to me, which the Blackhawks drafted him for... now won't be longterm. Do they trade him now?

Anton Lundell is about to have better linemates than Bedard once again

Need a Seabrook for our Keith

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Levshunov for Knies???

Levshunov for Knies???

the best way to dig out of a hole is always deeper.

That could be Rinzel. And they use Levshunov to trade for a forward.

Lev isnt good though

This is what happens when meathead media and fans think we have to rush the rebuild.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I freely admit that I don't understand the contract side of the hockey biz...that said, I predict that Bedard won't end his career as a Blackhawk.

He slots to 2D, which takes a ton of pressure off him. This could actually be a positive for his development.

Yep right to the Sharks lol

 

[Hattrick Kane]

lol Chase Reid is going to be a garbage bag. Keep crying.

 

[statswatcher]

Lev isnt good though

only problem is once you get to a certain depth you can't throw the dirt out of the hole anymore.

Meathead media and fans aren't the GM. Davidson is - and he just got ass r*ped.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

If you think this is a good move in a vacuum, okay, that's fine. Byram is entering what will hopefully be his prime. I'd rather make the trade for a top 5 draft pick AFTER knowing where Lardis, Frondell, Kantserov, etc, are at next year.

But if you analyze the Blackhawks asset management in terms of draft capitol, all the D they've drafted since and now they're going after a guy that was there a decade ago by paying the same price?

When you zoom out, it's a terrible look.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Bedard and Chicago exchange numbers, Stenberg to SJ odds up to -700 then pick 4 is gone...
