I don’t think the hawks are interested in that trade. Too much baggage

Alec Martinez is playing great this year. With only 1 year left on his contract we aren’t paying to move him. Someone would take FC if we went about this route…

Can't see the Hawks wanting Joki back. He doesn't fit the mold of what they want their D men to be going forward. Probably takes the Buffalo '23 2nd and a different F prospect.

Did JJ hit someone with his car, did I miss a story here. Why is there now an obsession with trading him away. Hes still well above the prospects that are coming up. If Kulich comes up and only scores 30pts as a rookie is everyone going to want to throw him away immediately too?

Assuming Olofsson is "any team" as the Ducks have no reason to pay a premium for retention.

We have no reason to pay for a rental either, so we decline.
