Misery

Hawks pass. Taking back Ceci for 2 years breaks this.

Would you rather get 2 - first round assets for Hart OR get 3 - first round assets for Hart and take on Jack Cambell's $5M per year without retention for 3.5 years?

You can move 2-3 first round assets to lose Campbell, or 2-3 first round assets to get Hart. You don't get both.

Don't think the Caps will part with Dowd for less than a 2nd if they're retaining salary for two years. The Eller trade is a good comp for Dowd.

Fair

Just thought hawks still be in a building mode for a couple years and will need someone to play D still. thought a couple picks and prospects would entice a bit

Assume with any Campbell trade, the buyout gets used in the offseason...so essentially paying a couple firsts for some buyout money, which brings acquiring cost more in line with what Draft pick capital costs in NHL market
