I would consider one for sure. I would trade our first in next draft for Hamilton or Tarasenko, not sure who wouldn't. Even if we miss the playoffs they have to be in the league of the guys taken in the top 5 if not as good as Austin Matthews. But I can't see us not being a threat to make the playoffs annually and eventually a cup contender adding guys like Tarasenko or Hamilton
I would also consider a lower end offer sheet too. Saad for a 2nd round pick could be realistic. If Chicago matches you could put them in a tougher spot then they already are by giving Saad a little bit more then they would have to give him on a 1 year deal.
