Follow me @jaeckel.
There were a lot of great ideas on the trade contest blog.
I went with the following because they checked a lot of boxes: solving the needs of the Hawks, the other teams, working in terms of cap hits and also teams that are plausible trade partners.
WINNER:
Sharp, Lepisto, and a 1st to Colorado for Paul Stastny and Shane O'Brien.
