I’m sorry, I had him mixed up with Marc-Edouard. I’m embarrassed. I was thinking two veterans who might want to coattail and McDavid for a/another chance at a cup.

Oh, jeez.. I’m so sorry, I mixed him up with Marc-Eduard! What an embarrassment I am! No need to chastise me for this!

That's a bit rich bud. He was great and he may still improve but he's not a franchise defenseman like you're suggesting here with the top 5 pick. Nurse also won't cost "multiple 1sts" that is absurd. PLD got traded 1 to 1 with zero retention.

That said: mw6 there really is no way you're getting Foligno who is basically the team's captain and Vlasic who is the team's current best defenseman and put up pretty solid metrics on a horrific D corp last year in his rookie season. If he hadn't had a few extra games prior to this season already he would've been talked about in the Calder voting, but he didn't qualify. Nurse and Jones are arguably two of the worst contracts in the league. No way Chicago wants or needs him.

For everyone else reading this post, Davidson is building a team of his own vision. Anything he's acquired, signed, or drafted is likely OFF the table. He appears very calculated in his moves so acquiring and signing Foligno and signing Vlasic to 6 years is purposeful and he's not going to then just flip them for parts. I encourage you before you make an ACGM involving Chicago, it shouldn't involve any Davidson pieces.

Haha, ouch! Sorry, I thought a Nurse-Jones pairing would be intriguing

I cant believe I'm saying this, as I continually tell people here that cap space is a great return in itself.
Your overrating cap space.
These superstar players like McDavid, MacKinnon and Draisaitl will always be underpaid because of the max cap limit. You are never saving money trading away special talent like that.

Ok, so you took my reply in stride instead of getting bent out of shape (like many here do) . So thank you & I will stop poking the doll.
On a serious note: we will probably never see what a Nurse Jones pairing is like because they are both overpaid. Hawks don’t mind Jones as he is by far the best option they have at top pairing RD but can’t see them being willing to take Nurse w/o being paid handsomely to do so.
Vlasic is part of the future core & only slightly lest untouchable than Bedard.

There are 6 much more impactful defenceman available in this draft over Vlasic. That is my point.

Now who is being absurd. I guarantee you looking 5 years down the road there will not be 6 defensemen in this draft that are better than Vlassic. That is crazy talk. But as others have stated, last year Vlassic was one of the top shut-down defenseman in the NHL.
