Well, the Hawks ended up getting Seth Jones and Nolan Allan out of it.
I don't know if I like Bouchard that much, but Noah Dobson is awesome. Big, strong, talented and such a great skater to boot.

I’d have been ok with either over what eventually became Seth. Either would have a better chance of living up to the tard contract that stub would have given them. (“Stub” = Stan, but I’m not fixing it because stub works quite well actually)

Frank Nazar signed a 3 yr Entry level contract for $950k per. Likely to start the year in beautiful NW Illinois. Gotta love the Rock.

1 year in Rockford is hopefully all he needs.

stan was a draft savant.
I really loved when he passed on Bowen Byram in 2019

Byram's a bust. They should have gotten Cozens or Seider.

Who is on your list to be re-signed?
Vlasic and crickets?

4.6 is a good rate that takes Vlasic to 28-29. KD already better at this than Stan.

As important as Bedard is to the rebuild, Vlasic is right on par. Assuming he stays healthy Seth Jones has his blue line partner in the forseeable future. Now fill in the other gaping holes KD.

This was his first full season. He turns 23 in a month. Are we sure he is going to improve?
He started really well, but I don't think he was even as good towards the end of the season. Six years is a long time. It could be a good deal. But maybe not.

These are the things we as fans have to trust Kyle and co to do…defensemen develop slower so it’s a bit of a gamble but I think a worthwhile one. As far as not being as good by the end of the year, that was pretty much everyone and it comes from being overwhelmed by the opposition literally every night. So no surprise there for me.

Six years is a long time. It could be a good deal. But maybe not. Maybe not, but I will give him this - on a pretty terrible team he logged first pair minutes and made his partner better. That seems to be something worth taking a chance on. Maybe with a little hometown discount. Surround him with better players and he won't have to shoulder the same minutes/pressure game in, game out, and then you may really have something. Hopefully he can stay healthier than Connor Murphy at around the same money. To my eye he is already a better defenseman than CM.
