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

[Jimmy2Times]

The only similarity Crevier has to Chara is he’s also tall.

if you've followed Hockey at all the last 25 years they said the same about Chara you KD fanboy

 

[Jimmy2Times]

That's a model that works for Carolina but it does not mean it would work for Chicago.

Improving the overall talent level on the roster is the goal. Getting Byram helps with that. I also believe Byram will not be the only significant addition to the roster. Improve roster hopefully translates to more wins and/or playoffs.

Riiiiight.

 

[Jimmy2Times]

Crevier was the least physical 6’7 player in the history of the NHL. Has a good shot and all. Kind of a one trick pony.

He was the only physical player we had on the back line lmao

You all need another day or two to get this anger out of your system. After that quit your whining and look forward to enjoying Byram’s talents as a Blackhawk. Chances are he’s gonna be really good here.

They said Chara was similar to Chara back in the day?

Listen boomer by the time Chara was Creviers age he was already a runner up for the Norris so you can stop trying to draw parallels between the two of them they are not close at all.

People are comparing Byram to Keith,, When Keith was Byram's age he was already a 25 minute a night #1 stud finishing 11th in Norris voting and all-star

Acclaimed league wide as a young star on rise

Yet I don't see your post admonishing people on that, oddly

Reality is we dont know what future holds for Crevier but its not unreasonable to expect him to continue to improve as he has done each and every year and the loss of Crevier leaves a good sized hole in our D and leaves us weaker defensively

Riiiiight.

Says a guy comparing a former 7th rd picks to an all time great defensemen.

You missed the Islanders/Chara days I see. Craplenniel. Kyle Davidson is a terrible GM btw.

Yeah Cause Chara was an HOF right out of the gate

 

[FireKDnow]

Freidman is saying there were three competing offers on the table with top 10 picks. Davidson hit the right combo of taking money and giving up depth pieces to win.

Why do you assume he was out there just tossing favors in willy nilly?

because I think KD is the worst GM in the league, totally clueless at what he is doing... bad at making trades, horrible in free agency, bad at drafting... he never should have gotten this job and he should have been fired last year

 

[FireKDnow]

So you understand that just because he played in the 2nd pairing, that doesn't make him a 2nd pairing dman. Good to know.

not a single thing about his numbers/metrics suggest he's a 1st pair D-Man... dahlin was their 1... and byram was no better than samuelsson offensively or power defensively... why is it so hard to understand byram is not a good defensive defenseman and would be a liability as a top pair guy? again, why are we acting like this dude is on the level of a quinn hughes or werenski?

nah, because i so badly want KD fired so that a future rebuild of this rebuild can succeed I will hope byram fails miserably...

He's a poor man's Dahlin
