This team is gonna be sooooo bad next year. Kyle likes his draft picks and his useless retread roster fillers. Phobic towards guys who can actually play hockey and have heart. Chicago Marshmallows
IMO, Reichel leapfrogged by Lardis. Slaggert or Dach will also be leapfrogged by a prospect like Spellacy. And 2/3 years down road they cycle will continue. The hope is Frondell will leapfrog a vet like Burakovsky. Rinzel over Jones. Lev over Murphy. Greene over Dickenson. Moore over Mikeyev Lardis over Donato. The real rebuild is having drafted prospects take/ fill true Top 9 and Top 4 positions at NHL level. So far IMO, the Blackhawks have managed 2 Top 9, 2 Top 4 D, and a Top Goalie. Reichel unfortunately didnt show enough and was recycled. Unfortunately maybe Korch too. Remains to be seen. Its gonna happen again, and again. Future is bright with the ton of prospective top 4 and top 9 “replacements” we have on the way in near future. Not all will stick, which is why we still NEED some vets and a couple top All-Star type FA. But some prospects will. Keep trading vets on expiring contract to load up on top draft picks. Keep rebuild mode on. Commit to the Indian..
Think ab this, if Florida’s pick stays with them this year, then KD has 3 1st to wheel and deal next year (our own pick, unprotected Florida 1st, and Edmonton’s top 12 protected). So much ammo for any trade they want

Good deal for both teams. Edmonton needs some depth guys, and the Hawks got value for two players that are not part of the plan.
