If Vrana gets claimed

Chicago will need a better return since they'd be retaining on Vrana next season too.

Have always liked Mike Koster.

Hawks probably pass here. We can do better with our retention slots over the next two years imo. Alreadu have too many of our own guys to retain on

Wouldn't hate seeing us take vrana for ourselves though

Vrana would help you reach the cap floor after Kane, Toews and Domi are traded and going into next season.

"Players who are claimed off waivers must be offered to the other teams that placed an original claim before that player can be traded.

For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three teams place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standards gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If a team places a claim, he’d be theirs. If not, he can be traded."
