Description

-Toews retires.
Kane signs with Sabres or Rangers.
-Dont think Chicago will win the lottery and can think of good reasons for and against why. I believe that Anaheim will leapfrog everyone and land the first overall pushing everyone else down 1, where the Hawks land Carlson or Michkov.
-Stauber/Soderblom split starts in ahl.
-Vlasic and Regula play top minutes for another season in Rockford.
-Davidson makes more Rockford signings to make them semi-competitive.
-Compher fits the Davidson style of speed and dont think Avs have room for him next year. Hes also from Illinois.
-Rangers make the ECF.
-Islanders want to get rid of Bailey and get cap space. (This can be any 2nd round pick from any year)
-LA Kings clear cap with Petersen + Durzi and give Durzi a bigger role somewhere else while also clearing a spot for Brandt Clarke. 4th can be upgraded if Kings fans think its low. Interested in Turcotte but not sure what his value is considering his injuries, production to date, and being a 5th overall pick.

What I want for Turcotte at this point in his career is for him to get healthy.

Kings won't entertain selling Turcotte at his lowest value because of health issues (as opposed to if he just wasn't developing due to skill issues).

Exactly this, when Turcotte is healthy he starts to trend closer to what we were looking for. Vilardi and Byfield have been waiting games and between those two and Kempe, the Kings brass have proven they will give a wide berth when it comes to prospect development. Turcotte is also very important considering it is unclear if Byfield or Kupari are set to be top-6 centers or not.

I think it’s likely we trade Kupari and/or Anderson-Dolan away to make room for Byfield at 2C or 3C next season. Then we can give Turcotte extended looks at LW or C with the club too. It’s too bad he keeps getting injured, but they still have another season where they don’t need to worry about waivers.

If Hawks sign Compher, the F group looks pretty spot on.

Can't see the Hawks taking on Peterson from LA without getting a pick back along with him. Just not how Davidson operates. And if Hawks did take a player instead of a pick, they'd want a F, not a D. And the return would be F/C, not a 4th. That trade isn't good for Hawks as proposed.

Hawks have Nolan Allen, Ethan DelMastro and Wyatt Kaiser turning pro next season. Those 3 are the left side in Rockford next year. No spot for Vlasic. He'll be in Chicago on 2nd or 3rd pair. Regula may be in Chicago as well on 3rd pair. He is no longer waiver exempt. Galvas and Roos still are waiver exempt and both can play on right side, so at least one of them probably start the year in Rockford. And while I don't agree w/ it, I also think Hawks sign Caleb Jones to another 1 year deal.

I'm not sure what to make of that Petersen trade. It feels like the 4th is to much and more like Durzi attached to Petersen is close to fair (if anything a 4th should be going to the Hawks). Kings have a lot of options for RHD so Durzi might be more palatable to get away from Peterson's contract (than the usual asks of a first or Turcotte which I can't see them doing). Hawks are a little thin with options at RD (assuming Murphy gets moved at some point and Zaitsev is at best only here for the year remaining on his contract)
