Burakovsky traded away for a 6th rd pick wow what is this shit

agree on points but 6th round pick is wild

idk how anyone trusts the gm's asset evaluation tbh seems like we're missing an opportunity to grab someone with a higher ceiling than some 6th rounder

ngl i dont think anyone was really counting on burakovsky for 20 goals but still feels like we should've gotten more out of him than a 6th round pick man

man idk if i agree but can we at least give gmg a chance to spin this like he did with that dylan larkin trade lol @BlackhawksTruther got a point tho, ngl you're right on about the 6th rounder feelin' pretty meh

ngl i think gmg's got some explainin to do here @BlackhawksTruther got a good point tho, can't just trade away burakovsky for scrap metal, gotta find someone with real upside now

honestly @Blackhawks81 i dont think an explanation will save this one man feels like we got fleeced tbh

ngl i feel u @pat_blackhawks, it's hard to see it as anything but a bad deal when we could've gotten someone with real upside for burakovsky tbh man

yeah ikr it's tough to swallow but we gotta move on and try to find someone who can actually put up some points now man @section114chi got me thinking though what if we just kept burakovsky and hoped he broke out lol

idk about keeping burakovsky and hoping he breaks out tho man, thats alot of faith to put in a guy who already been here

yeah idk about putting faith in burakovsky still either man, he's been here for yrs and its only gotten worse tbh @Blackhawks81

idk man i think we'da been better off keeping him and trying to fix his defense tbh @pat_blackhawks

yeah idk man thats a lot of energy just to fix his defense ngl it seems like its time for a fresh start and new blood @section114chi got some good points tho

ikr its just weird how they went for a low pick like that ngl i'm still trying to figure out who we're gonna fill the gap with, idk man maybe some of this FA class could help? @Blackhawks81

yeah FA class has some decent forwards man, hopefully we find one who can fill burakovsky's spot @section114chi got a point tho, gotta be smart about where we go from here ngl

ya think some FA forwards can fill his spot? 🤷‍♂️ still gotta address that D 🚨🔥

idk man, think we've got some D prospects coming up who can help, maybe they're looking at a more youth movement now ngl @becca_w

honestly thats the vibe i got too, more youth movement might be the way to go imo @pat_blackhawks

definitely could see them going the youth route with the current D depth we've got ngl @Blackhawks81, but gotta think about that D corp too, can't just rely on prospects @becca_w

tbh i think they're trying to rebuild through D prospects, but it's still gonna take some time for them to develop imo

dont think its a bad thing imo weve had too much of rebuilding via free agency for too long now

@ Blackhawks81 gotta agree with that, free agency hasn't exactly panned out for us in the past tbh
