I'd rather they trade for someone at the tail end of their contract, and maybe get assets by doing so.

Should KD kick tires on Ryan Suter? Need a vet on the back end. Can't believe he's almost 40 already. Time flies.

Hawks do have a lot of young defenders that would be better off learning from Suter instead of Seth Jones and Connor Murphy. It would be 1 year deal and Hawks can pay him like Corey Perry just without the sexual assault.

In that scenario ok but the tread has to be so thin on that tire I can’t imagine him playing significant minutes without being turnstiled constantly. I think a vet would be fine but maybe not that one.

Suter in Nashville was teammates with Blackhawks legends Greg Johnson, Scott Nichol, Steve Sullivan, Sheldon Brookbank and Yanic Perreault. And Kariya and Peter Forsberg.
Yes, he is old.
EDIT: he played with Martin Gelinas.

He averaged 19 TOI last year which I found surprising. Get him down around 16-17 TOI and he should be fine. Hopefully he would agree that he likely would be flipped at TDL.

If I'm Suter, I retire rather than play 8 months with Seth Jones.

Would Sean Monahan be the type of player that could provide some short-term offensive forward relief in a top six slot that would not break the bank, and could be a player that would be willing to play in Chicago after some time in Winnipeg? Or would it be subtraction by addition?

As for being playoff relevant, who exactly in their division are they primed to pass? From where I sit, maybe Utah. Maybe. Maybe the Wild. The rest will be a stretch. And if Dallas and Winnipeg do not regress, we will be fortunate to eek out 7 more wins. The Bedard factor is real, but the expectation is not realistic without some major improvement from some players that were already on the roster.

Taylor Hall for one should be able to more than double his input and play at least 20 games this coming season.

I think the goal is to be “in the mix” for a wildcard spot…on paper. Anyone with basic math skills will know otherwise when they’re only 6 pts out but have four teams ahead of them, but if they can spin the improvement into even a Pseudo-contendership, it’ll be an org win.

They should be a pain in the arse to play against but I still don’t see many goals being scored.

TJ Brodie also plays at an All-Star level. Fight me.

PITA to play against with more capable pieces to do so, and give Bedard et al more time to develop is OK by me.
Does Korchinski spend half the season in Rockford (at least) to focus on his development with more minutes?
If Kurashev and Reichel do not take a significant step forward, it is still going to be one scoring line and three 4th lines.
