It took me a couple of minutes to stop laughing.

Even if Chicago were willing to give up Kane and Toews for Broberg and a 1st, and even if they were willing to retain 50%, and even if ARI were willing to retain another 50% (for whatever cost), they still have the small problem of bringing on $5M of salary (one quarter of each of them) with ZERO cap space.
So they would also have to trade Puljujarji AND Yamamoto, and acquire another defenseman to replace Broberg.
