My bet is that Chicago gets 2-3 players that fill the void left by Hagel easily with this trade.
It's a bad trade by a team desperate to stay relevant in the East with the emergence of the Hurricanes and Panthers.

Desperate to stay relevant is definitely not how I would describe the current, two time defending Stanley Cup Champions paying the price to load up for another run in their window, lol. That's bonkers.
