00:00This isn't about who the player is, it's about what the price was.
00:03They overpaid for this.
00:06This is a trade that demands an explanation.
00:09Because until you hear it, you're like, what?
00:12Why?
00:14The fourth pick was a premium position.
00:17This was what all the losing was for.
00:20To put yourself in a position to get Conor Bedard some help.
00:24And need I remind anybody, the number one priority of this offseason, like any offseason,
00:29is to get Conor Bedard in the most comfortable position he could be in.
00:36Financially and on the ice.
00:38I'm not sure this does that.
00:40And I think you might have wasted an opportunity to do that.
00:43Because with that number four pick, you had a chance to perhaps package it.
00:47And we were thinking big.
00:48Maybe it was just me.
00:50But I remember talking about Austin Matthews.
00:52And before the Brady Kachuk trade, about him possibly coming here.
00:55I'm still holding out hope that Jason Robertson might be involved.
00:59Matthew Knives from Toronto might be a good addition offensively.
01:02You need a winger to compliment Bedard.
01:06And with due respect to Bowen Byram, he's a tremendous offensive-minded defenseman.
01:11And he will be your number one guy.
01:13And I think they will strike a deal to get a contract extension.
01:16They will pay him more money than Blackhawk fans will be comfortable with.
01:21But I just don't understand why you had to throw in Crevier, an experienced defenseman,
01:27and the 45th pick, along with the fourth, to get somebody, a 26-year-old, on his third team.
01:33I'll see you then.
