Can CHI fit Panarin?

Try to talking Hossa into waiving his NMC

The way he's playing, I don't think that's an option.

One injury in the top 6 and that team is done.

You seem to have made some unrealistic deals just to fit Panarin gets sign. How does AHLer Pokka warrants a top 40 and 70 pick? Does Campbell sign again for even less money? And I'll never understand the way some RFAs were signed last summer , why the Hawks have to go all in at 7m for 6 years. No one is going offer that much due to compensation and few good teams have the cap space.

Your comments don't have much bearing on whether Panarin can fit. Campbell can sign for $1.5 again and he'll still fit this model -- there's enough space. I've heard Pokka is a pretty good prospect. But so what if CHI gets less in return than here? Doesn't change anything. Also, with inflation, I think that $7/per for Panarin could be a major bargain in a couple of seasons. Look at the Rangers' McDonagh contract, for example.

CHI will still have many young, skilled players making under $1 million. They didn't go belly-up just now when they lost Toews. They'd need a few other problems to get into real trouble. I envy CHI -- they're set for years to come.
