Thread: If jt waives
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>Everyone judges a guy purely on his offensive production like points are the only thing that matters in contracts.

Tavares is a leader on and off the ice professionally. He is elite in the faceoff circle. He is a marketable star that sells tickets. He’s still tough to handle down low on the cycle and protects the puck very well. He’s been a captain everywhere he plays.

Those are things that don’t show up on a scoresheet that justify his value. Is he worth the $11m at this point? You could argue he’s not. But he’s not THAT much less than it that justifies having to move a 1st round pick to move his cap hit.

All that aside, Tavares is not waiving. He has no reason to and honestly it’s a bit disrespectful of the team to even consider it.

The parts of the core that are available or will be asked to waive their NMC are Marner and Rielly. That’s it.</div></div>

"You can argue he's not worth $11M"???? Objective fact: He's not worth anywhere near $11M, he's worth $6M...maybe $8M on his best day

Thread: Maybe A 3C Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FlameFlameFruit</b></div><div>Hawks fans when you trade a random 23 year old AHL’er for NHL players ^</div></div>

Don't use your lack of ignorance around Crevier to respond to those that are educated around the player in fairness. Crevier is a very solid big body dman. He was brought up when Murphy was injured and looked like he belonged, but was playing a significant shutdown roll with the AHL team who was working towards the playoffs. The Hawks are in the belly of rebuild and purposely not rushing their dman. Crevier is going to be a solid heavy hitting 3rd liner and fills a gap on the right side the Hawks don't have in their prospect system.
