I know right

going to be honest, I cant believe I watched the entire draft last night...the whole boring steaming pile of nothing interesting happening
- senstroll

I've never watched a sports draft. I just refreshed this board a couple times and laughed at it.

C'mon Chicago trade for Buntings rights

Perry gonna sign in Chicago? Why?

Bedard, that's why.

He'll get paid well.

Will have a legit opportunity to play so he can continue playing.

This is a good option for him.

He can sign for a full 8 years now. Smart

Agreed seems crazy to me, you would think Perry would hold out until UFA and see what contending team wants him so he can be there all season vs just go to one at the deadline but who knows.

I supposed he could hold Chicago a bit hostage and say "sure I'll sign, 3 years minimum term though" (or however long he thinks he will want to keep playing. lol

So the Hawks traded for Josh Bailey only to buy him out?

Do we see Dubas grabbing him on the cheap for a bottom 6 role before Tree living does?

Good old Bowanville boy.

He's also getting older and worse. Playing on a basement dweller might show just how bad he now is and also, since they'll suck, they may play him more and he could get injured.

I feel like there's a risk to this for him.

I don't see it.

Good money and an opportunity to play.

Sounds good to me.

Bedard, that's why.
- Whipper

Would they really put Perry on Bedard's wing? I feel like that'd be a detriment to Bedard.

I think smart for both sides.

Hawks can surround Bedard with legit pros to help him in his first year get his legs you know.
They can then move him at deadline for more assets to build to a contender.

Perry can play the first half the season in a land with no pressure, have a good showing and take a peek at the league and at which teams are contenders and then be flipped to one of them. This way (provided he plays well) he will be able to request that the hawks deal him to a contender that he chooses that wants him. He would get that as he’s earned it through his career and through his work with Bedard

Ah, yes. Yes. Of course.

Go for it, Chicago!

If cheaper he’s a real good bottom 6 guy

- Cush29

Yeah, I feel like that makes more sense.

Get acclimated with a team and not worry about playing every game of the season. Sit out enough to keep yourself healthy and hopefully be good to go for the playoffs.

I’m sure he’d enjoy being in the middle of a scrum after every whistle

I don't see it.

- Santo_44

Only guaranteed positive I see for him is more money, potentially.

Everything else will depend on fortunate outcomes.

I was gonna say that there's no Justin Holl's on the teams in their division that he can pick on, but hey. There really just might be.

EDIT: Holl to Minnesota #Confirmed (#IHope)
