<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I don't hate it. Depends who is available in free agency. A lot of guys could be traded and/or extended before the draft. If our options are slim for addressing RD, a mid round pick for one year of Pionk wouldn't be a bad use of assets. Plus, he only has a 6 team no trade list and he is a pending UFA.

I think a lot of the UFA RD targets this summer will have their pick of teams, and a rebuilding CHI team won't be one of them, and Pionk is still probably better than what will be left to choose from.</div></div>

Agree with both of you here. I don't hate the Pionk move if they make it but I'd like someone like Perbix more if the price is similar.

I can't help but feel like the Hawks address the RD opening in free agency. And if not, then the Wings pay KD to take Holl. Holl and Maata seems like the odd men out on the blue line in Detroit. I'd also much rather spend a 4th on Nick Perbix from Tampa Bay, who will likely be available and fits better age wise and style wise to what the Hawks want.
