Value of: Mason McTavish to Chicago

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I know everybody would likely disagree with me, but I believe he might be the forward Bedard needs given their chemistry.

There’s nothing on Chicago I’d trade McTavish for

There’s nothing on Chicago I’d trade McTavish for

Not even Donato?

Nick Lardis and a high draft pick can make it done....

 

[Behn Wilson]

Not even Donato?

Wed throw in Seth Jones,,, oops already gone

How about Brodie. + Shea Weber

 

[SmokeyDuck]

He's been good lately so they would have to outbid a ton of other likely interested suitors. That being said he is not available, save for an upgrade.

Pass

 

[Sticksandsun]

This OP never makes any sense with their trades lol

 

[HawksDub89]

Pass

To elaborate, I like McTavish but I would rather trade 1sts and prospects for a more proven commodity.

Nick Lardis and a high draft pick can make it done....

Based on what ?

 

[M Ace]

Based on what ?

Lardis is a top prospect with 70 goals i 61 matches in the OHL. Only the 8th player in history to do that and the first since John Tavares in 06/07....

Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis becomes 8th OHLer to score 70 goals in season

Then keep him.

I always wonder

What teams choices are when they win lotteries


Can you pry a young skater away for really high pedigree option? What can you get with the 2 or 1 OA.. It seems so rare. It would be cool to hear about times these types of things were almost traded.

Chicagos problem from my perspective is that it sure would have been nice if Bedard were a year or two later. He’s so advanced and yeah. Lots of time for him to wait for the others to catch up.

Maybe take the loss you’d experience in moving the pick you are awarded this year and pull the talent forward via trade. Maybe not though…you aren’t really saving that much development time and you’re relying on what somebody else did for their player. I’d def shop it around and that would be so fun.

Chi don’t have the right pieces to make a mctavish trade appealing.

He’s looking good, biggest issue with him right now is consistency…. He’s shown this year that he is kinda a leader amongst the young players…. And is playing pretty good… still hope his points take a step forward but can say that about a lot of duck players

Regarding your second paragraph, this is basically what happened when they drafted Toews and Kane.

So many pieces were already drafted and developed. Keith, Seabrook, Big buff, Patrick Sharp.

Whereas Bedard got to Chicago year 1 of the rebuild. In a perfect world they draft bedard in 2026.
