I think the major difference between Calgary and Chicago is Chicago wanted to rebuild but toews and Kane didn’t want to leave. So they traded anyone of value to make the choice for them. Debrincat, hagel, Dach come to mind. Then they got Pennie’s for Kane from NYR, traded Keith to Edmonton, and seabrook LTIR’d, same with Crawford, and Toews got long Covid and was out and came back for the last handful.
That would be like Calgary trading Zary, Coronato, and Rango, Anderson getting Pennie’s on the dollar, Weegar LTIRing and Kadri same thing not getting any assets back.
It’s gonna take a while for Chicago but let’s face it it’s more of a destination than Calgary, and they gonna have a good base after next year
