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

[CallMeShaft]

All this talk about Bowen, not much talk about Jordan.

Really hope he can show Ryan Greene, the way.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Also going to point out Greenway is a horrendous skater while being absolute liability and worthless in all other aspects of game

Odd to see our GM bring him in given people here always dismissed actual talent like Michkov, etc speculated about in recent months claiming they dont fit what Davidson wants which is supposedly guys who could skate

Yet here we are bringing in an awful player with $4M cap hit who can neither play game of hockey or skate

What is he going to show him? How to uselessly waddle on ice doing nothing

I mean if we wanted that we could have just brought John Scott out of retirement

You can get actual overpaid NHL talent not useless plugs like Greenway

Let alone taking them on in trade that is already so lopsided in favor of other team

Greene + way = Greenway

Twas a joke BWC, albeit not a very good one.

BWC obsessing over Greenway is so funny

 

[Toews2Bickell]

BWC tonight



truly generational effort

 

[EmeticDonut]

Very steep price. Not a fan of getting rid of Crevier, he showed promise, but nothing is certain. Now, if the Hawks had picked a D-man with their 4th odds are they would need a year or two of development so no immediate help. With Byram they get it now (and former #4 pick) and he was same age as Crevier.

The Hawks could keep getting those lottery tickets where one of them might be a future all-star or they could be getting proven players and continue to improve. Hawks did something, so everyone should be happy now.

He is Fiddy but with slightly better grammar

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Was slammed at work check my phone to this?! Holy hell Byram better take a leap.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Bucci said SJ offered 9+27+..Stenberg and Byram would've been solid for them

This is why it's so hard to trade for D. Good ones are worth their weight in gold.

When one becomes available there are 15 teams that are putting in offers. Half the league wanted Byram but we got him. We had to pay a high price but he's here.

Could San Jose have offered 2 plus 27 and won the bid? Probably. Grier loves his forwards and wants to go 5 for 5 with the franchises 1st pick in every draft being one.

You either draft them with a high pick or you pay a kings ransom for them.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Did you ever think maybe we should have let Sharks have him?

At end of day our GM was the who botched things

 

[monkforasia]

I've come around to this trade. Especially since watching San Jose fans melt down on the general board.

 

[Tifosi]

After calming down I don’t mind this trade now as a KD hater, sure I rather trade the 4th for Robo/Knies but it is what it is. I know people will be even more pissed off if Byram is a Shark.

 

[Wally1112pac]

You'd be pissed off either way...

be glad you are a blackhawks fan, instead of a san jose fan.

Nope I made it clear a while ago I didn't want Byram with his concussion history, cost to acquire him and the absurd contract he will command upon trade

i agree. I really don’t see this being a bad overpay at all if Byram resigns and stays healthy.

would have to imagine 4 for Knies/Robo talk was probably had first and it involved 4+Lev/Frondell/Nazar etc which was a no

 

[Geoist]

I would rather Rinzel or Lev be traded ahead of Crevier.....

Naw, c'mon, man. Both easily have higher upside than Crevier, and I speak as a fan of Crevier.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Didn’t cost us Nazar, Lev, or Rinzel

 

[AmericanDream]

He isnt Chris Benoit for God sake

 

[AmericanDream]

Aint no Crevier...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Aint no Crevier...

So a play Kaiser and others can do

Really selling your guy here,, Care to explain his dismal defensive performance in that series? He was awful the rest of way after game 1

Pretty sure Kaiser could put up this statline

7 games
1 goal
1 assist
-6

And you wouldn't be singing his praises

 

[Hull2Roenick2Kane]

sorry Musto.
