Chicago reacquires Kruger, Entwistle was ARZ's 3rd rounder in 2017, Maletta appears to be an AHLer only, as is Andrew Campbell.

Kruger is a 4C at this point, playing 10-14 minutes a night. But also spent 1/4 of the season in the AHL.
Hinostroza is an upgrade over Kruger (25 points last year), and is 4 years younger.
Oesterle really started to find his game it looked like last year in Chicago. He was actually 2nd for defencemen on CHI last season in TOI.

So basically Chicago had to lose 2 younger players in order to get Arizona to take Hossa's contract.
