Description
Hawks should buyout Zaitsev and sign Bear, there’s really no reason not too since it saves real money and bear on a cheap contract could have trade value at the deadline. Bear is also young enough that he could have a spot on the team for the next 4-6 years if he fits well.

Additional Details:
He was a good hawk, I wouldn’t mind seeing him in the bottom 6 again if we can get him in a cap move like this one or waivers.

Asking a question because I don't know the answer. Is that Arb buyout still open? The arbitration got to Kurashev's contract so in theory the reason the buyout window even opens again is in case the Hawls want/need to buyout this new contract that the arbitrator ruled on?

Bear won't be back for a few months I thought. If you go this route...you probably still don't buyout Zaitsev because you'll want a #3 RD to start the season. It'll also ensure no Zaitsev cap hit next year. Just bench Zaitsev later in the year.

Yeah. The buyout window is short. Bear won't be back until December at the earliest, but probably more like January/February. We would still need someone to hold down that RD3 position. I'm still a fan of signing Bear, though. I'd do that, and also sign Foote. Let Foote do his thing for a while and then make a decision about what to do when the time comes. Maybe Foote does well and theres trade interest interested in him, Murphy, or, however unlikely, even Jones. Send one out get some assets and then slot Bear in a top 4 role and see what happens.

I think I’ll wait till he is on waivers since the leafs cap situation is so bad.

He won't be. Leafs can still keep him. He was also effective in the playoffs
