Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini both join the Blackhawks, whilst Nick Schmaltz heads the other way. Looking at the make-up of the Minnesota Wild’s system; you have to question whether they could’ve pulled off a similar deal.
Nick Schmaltz doesn’t exactly compare to any of the younger options within the Minnesota Wild prospect pool, but you probably could’ve argued a case for offering up Luke Kunin and a couple of other depth options for similar reward.
Dylan Strome could still live up to his draft as a third overall pick, given further time to develop.
