Pittsburgh has Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel...

We have Eichel and a bunch of other decent to good defensemen

I would rather build a top 4 that resembles Nashville and add a winger or two when they're ready to be a legit contender

#Blackhawks acquire defensemen Connor Murphy and Laurent Dauphin from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson.

Unfortunately there are terms to contracts. Eichel and ROR will be lining up to be a punching bag in the EC for another year or two. Keep majoring in the minors.

its not a long term issue, i just dont think the moves are there to compete this year.

and what is Arizona doing acquiring a 30 year old? lol

Me too. Move him before everyone knows for sure he sucks and I think he sucks.

One stat I really like secondary stats, if that is high, I want to stay clear.

like Edmonton will be if they put them selves in the same position with Conner and Leon

I don't see how getting Murphy helps Chicago at all. Basically same cap hit as Hjalmarsson except nowhere near as good

From the outside it looks like a 2 year retool before gearing up for the final window of Kane and Toews closes

I agree Connor Murphy is a solid dman on a horrible team that's 6 years younger..

Dreger connecting Buffalo to Shattenkirk, and would I do Kane for Vatanen, sure
- mattmoulson

Dreger's good but i wouldn't think Shatty would have any interest in Buffalo. Seems like a NYR signing to me??
