Description

1. I love Koekkoek game. He's a smooth skater, very physical, and smart defensively. He showed a lot of promise in the playoffs and he looks to be a potential top 6 defenseman

2. Adding a true third line center allows the hawks to have 2 high end scoring lines and a shutdown line rather than having to pull players apart to even out lines.

3. I would rather go all in on Kubs now than risk another Panarin fiasco. Kubs looks legit as he's dominated every league he's played in. Plus if it pays off, you have a 30+ goal scorer getting payed under $7 mil

NYI have guys like Boychuk and probably Leddy that they going to be looking to move. I don't really see it.

Isles would only do this if you could practically guarantee Seabrook would make LTIR, at which point, this trade would be a gamble for Chicago to see if Ladd can also make LTIR. So not worth it for Chicago either. The Isles might attempt something very similar to this with a different albatross contract, but that contract wouldn’t have to be as buy out proof as Seabrook’s is.

HAHAHAHA no. Dach has much more value than gaudreau. Plus all indications point to flames making some drastic moves and Strome and Nylander combined will have a lower cap hit than gaudreau allowing for more freedom to either sign FA's or trade for better players.

Nylander can barely make the nhl and Strome would be 3c for the flames. Gaudreau has the 11th most points since he entered the league and only 9 less than ovechkin and gaudreau played less games. If you want gaudreau it will cost Dach and 2022 first
