Value of: Derek Roy to Chicago

[Karate Johnson]

Brandon Pirri is 6'0" 160lbs?

Jesus that's skinny. No thank you....

Where are you getting that from, his 2009 draft profile?

He's 6'00" and a half and pushing 180lbs.

I have to think something around Roy for Bolland could be worked out.

Bolland gives Buffalo a legit 3rd line center option with a bit of offense and some size.

Roy gives Chicago a dynamic second line center who, IMHO, would thrive on a contract year and playing behind a true top line center like Toews.

My proposal:

To Chicago: Roy, Pysyk, 1st
To Buffalo: Bolland, Hjalmarsson

This frees up ~2.5 million in cap space for Chicago, gives Buffalo a potential partner for Myers.

That leaves Hawks with hole at D and Hole at #3 C

No need for Hjalmarsson in Buffalo too many D as it is. Is a Bolland for Roy swap that far off value wise? Id add a 3rd to even it off from BUF but I dont think its very far apart

Whoa, adding Pysyk changes the conversation. A true stay at home D-man w/ hockey sense WAY beyond his years. Far as prospects go (and I didn't use to think it before), he very well MIGHT be considered untouchable. That and I wouldn't want to give up a first round pick next year.

Roy, Adam, Weber and 2013 second to Chicago

for

McNeill, Hjalmarsson

Chicago is in win-now mode, and has a lot of center depth in their system. Roy give the Blackhawks a legit 2C, Adam fills McNeill's spot in their system, Weber adds some backend depth, and Chicago gets a second that they don't have for 2013.

Buffalo gets Hjalmarson to pair with Myers, and McNeill adds a big forward to Buffalo's system.

Not counting Adam and McNeill, Chicago sends $3.5M to Buffalo, gets about $5M from Buffalo, but that's combining Roy and Weber.

I'd be willing to pull Weber out of the deal and add a prospect if Chicago was concerned about the cap hit.

Roy isn't the long-term answer for Chicago at #2 C
Giving up Sharp for a band-aid would def. hurt the team in the long run
