Confirmed with Link: Ottawa sends Zaitsev, '23 2nd, & '26 4th to Chicago for Future Considerations

[Kevin Musto]

I agree 10000000% Top 50 pick to take on a warm body isn't a bad deal MD has shown that he can find talent and has a plan. I'll take this all day long. Plus we need RHD next year who can play and a contract to get to the floor. Good deal.

This has Moelgaard, Willander, But, Peddle, Bjarnason, Whalberg written all over it

Also they've accumulated a lot of draft capital.

Right now the Tampa 1st, Blackhawks 2nd, and Sens 2nd are #28, #35, and #42.

Chicago can easily snatch a top 10 faller if they trade up.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Nice trade. 2nd round pick in this years draft for a player who will help us suck next year too? I'll take it.

We are the new Arizona.

We still have a lot of cap space too.

Bedard, Strbak Stramel and Allen boom

Carey Price contract incoming

 

[Sarava]

Good move Hawks. Let's hope this is the start of more picks coming our way in the next 10 days

 

[clydesdale line]

Love this move. Get all the lottery picks you can to accelerate this. Up to the scouts and FO now to draft the best kid.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Very nice

Tank commander and recoup whatever picks we would have got in a Toews deal

Hawks have 3 seconds and might have 5 by the end of the deadline with guys like Domi, Lafferty available

Could also get another first with McCabe and Kane

I'm down for three 1st's and five 2nd's this upcoming draft.

 

[CanadianHawks]

I'm down for three 1st's and five 2nd's this upcoming draft.

That looks likely at this point

If our scouts are worth their salt this will be one of the most important drafts in Franchise history

Great draft and loaded with picks

CHI doesn't need more D early on in this draft. Load up on Fwd's.

1-5 Bedard/Fantilli/Carlson/Smith/ Moore
25-35...two of...Stenberg/Danielson/Kissiken/Cataford/Lind
42-50...two of...Moelgaard/Nordh/Bjarnason/But

If you get 5 of those players than you are in good shape. And, I don't think the picks are done yet...Lafferty, McCabe, Kane etc...

 

[Section88]

Good trade

My 4 picks will be hall of famers guaranteed.

So trading them Debrincat means they need to make room to sign him, and others. Trade works out to be:

Debrincat

For

Zaitsev
1st 2022 (#7 overall - Korchinski)
2nd 2022 (#39 overall - Ludwinski)
2nd 2023
3rd 2024
4th 2026

IF Cat wants to sign back with Ottawa... I think if he did, he would have by now.

Not bad for a player isn't worth $10M per year?

MrFenn92 Strbak and Allen are not HOF's

Best player available.

Nope I’ve studied immense game tape. I’m confident they will be hall of famers
They are my stromes but actually talented

 

[Space umpire]

I guess Dollar Wirtz gave Kyle the go ahead to weaponize cap space

Dollar Wirtz (Bill) has been dead a long time.

There are a lot of things wrong with Rocky Wirtz, cheapness isn’t one of them.

Yeah, although I'm sure Ottawa will give him his qualifying offer, but maybe Cat is a hold out and ultimately moved, or signed for way too much.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Best player available.

Yup. Who knows what we'll need five years from now.

 

[Taze em]

I think I’m addicted to these types of deals. I’m going to need a list of all the worst nhl contracts on contender’s rosters with <2 years left on them. This tank has been so awesome so far thst it’s even pulled me back in to HF Boards!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

A Zaitsev Jack Johnson third pairing is gonna be something.

 

[needle]

God bless Kyle Davidson! So much better than that buttwipe named Stan Bowman.

 

[hawksrule]

A Zaitsev Jack Johnson third pairing is gonna be something.

Defensively rivals the Sosa-Henry Rodrigues-Glenallen Hill outfield.

At least those guys hit some bombs.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Zaitsev is not as bad as people want to imply

He shouldn't play above 3rd pairing though. He is far from Ian Mitchell/Jack Johnson/Caleb Jones level

Fine with trade as I advocated for it though a bit disappointed, we couldn't pry loose a 1st

Hopefully we can dump Murphy at some point
