if the ELC starts this season (not sure if it does), it puts them at 49 contracts ... unless Teravainen plays in 10 of their final 12 games, then they are at 50. Highly unlikely though.
I'd easily trade both of our second rounders this season for Johns and Hayes (and yes, I know you don't simply go for junior/college chemistry, but IMO a big RW would fill an organizational need). With Hayes, the Hawks can easily wait it out though ... worst case is he becomes UFA in August and the Hawks get the 54th pick next year as compensation.
