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? Lol they are back to back cup champs and gunning for a third.
Their window is now. A prospect just making the NHL 4 years from now doesn’t do them any good. People thought the Goodrow trade was bad too.
Florida just gave up almost as much for a bottom rotation defenseman who is also a pending UFA.
