I feel like Chicago is a wild card to move out of the top 5? I would think as long as they have Kane and Toews they will try to keep their window to win as long as possible.

So would a deal involving

Brodie + Jankow + our 1st be enough to get the conversation started? Again I don’t know if people are considering this to be a strong draft year with generational talent.

I might be over valuing our players but if they were traded simply for picks I would imagine it to be something like this

Brodie = late first and a second
Jankow = early second

So It would be 2 firsts and 2 seconds which seems relativily close unless your Chicago and you think that the player in the top 5 will make more of an impact than both Brodie, Jankow and who ever they would get at 26.
Brodie doesn't offer much value to a team picking high in the draft as he's UFA after this season and those teams will be looking a few years out. Jankowski doesn't move the needle much either.

I doubt CHI trades down much further than #10...and if trade with us, it's likely something much bigger involving a guy like Monahan or Hanifin+ cause they want to speed up the rebuild. I don't think it's likely we trade up this year...
