Panik is a skilled player who before this season was an underachiever. He has now found a home in Chicago is seems and he is doing well in their system. Jurco is another skilled player who might benefit from a change of scenery. He is injured right now but how much might it cost for Jurco?

Detroit doesn't have room for anymore bottom 6 D and limited cap space so a draft pick would most likely have to suffice. A 3rd seems pretty fair.

Jurco: The guys who scored 6 points in 42 games with the Wings last year. Sounds like he would be a welcome addition for the Hawks.....in Rockford.

well he's been playing through a back injury for a couple seasons now, and he just had surgery this summer to correct it. So it's possible that he could be better than his stats indicate.

I'd take a 2018 2nd or 2017 3rd. Waiting a year is worth a small bump in value.

I personally would not pay a 2nd and would only pay a 3rd (and maybe a long shot prospect).

Jurco seems to have Panik type potential. Would be a boom or bust type for the Hawks.

How is he defensively? Now that don't live in the mitten I only see 8-10 Wings games a year.

Yeah I'd have liked the second but I'd take the third.

He's alright defensively. For Jurco I think his entire problem is confidence. Babcock hammered into him "make a mistake and you're out of the lineup," so hard that Jurco became scared of the puck. Compounded with some injury trouble and now a very promising prospect is now a reclamation project. Still he's got good size, skates well and nice hands on the occasional time he uses them. He shouldn't be considered a defensive stalwart but he'll stick with his man and use his body effectively.

Pretty good. After a promising first season offensively, Babcock seemed determined to convert him into a 4th line grinder.

He definitely has the size and skill to be a quality NHL player, but with Detroit's bloated depth at forward he's going to struggle to find a spot unless a rash of injuries give him an extended run.

To the guy who said he'd look good in Rockford, he got sent down to the AHL last season for a conditioning stint, and tore it up - 9 points in 5 games.

Jurco seems like the exact kind of guy that Q won't play. I'd give a 3rd for him if Q is willing to give him a legit shot.

Worst case scenario we waste a third, which we would have likely done either way.

That said, Q is usually pretty fair with young guys. Guys that choose not to try to improve (daley) usually don't pan out.
