Description

Hawks decide to send young guns down to AHL. Make a deep playoff run, gain experience of winning games, playing games that matter. A few minor moves at the TDL. This is the lineup remaining.

These games would be PAINFUL. But I'm in it for the long haul and I think it would be best long term.

I don't see there being much of a trade market for Blackwell.

"Hawks decide to send young guns down to AHL. Make a deep playoff run, gain experience of winning games, playing games that matter. "

This never happens. Playing meaningless games in the AHL is not going to help their development. Playing games against actual NHL players willl.

Trades.
1. Maybe this get's it done with 2 3rds. But I think it is gonna take at least a 2nd to make this happen for Hawks.
2. No to Caleb Jones.
3. Lucky if we are getting a 4th/5th for Blackwell.
4/5. Not worth retaining for a 4th when we have other players we can retain on.
6. This is a deal that I can see happening. Maybe not with NYR, but some team.

Avs won't likely be moving out any depth D unless they're bringing some in. Avs decline to move RyJo for that price.

Hawks aren't sending Vlasic back to Rockford. Bedard and Korchinski can't go to Rockford. They'd have to go back to the WHL. That ain't happening either. No chance Caleb Jones is coming back either.

I couldn't disagree with you more, on this.

They can play in Rockford if their Junior clubs seasons are over.
