Description

One more tank year in 2024-2025, hawks add two big powerforwards (Lindstrom and McQueen) to compliment the smaller skill guys (Bedard, Nazar, Moore, Reichel). I'd think we take best D available at the Tampa pick in 2024, and whoever that is won't be ready yet. 25 Leafs first and every pick beyond the 1st looking forward and back is a crap shoot to try to project, so I just won't try.

Quiet FA in 2024, adding a couple overpaid vets on 1-2 year deals, then look to make a bigger splash in 2025 with the boatload of cap space we'll have

Scratches show guys who I think have a chance to crack this NHL roster by this time, although more unlikely

One of the more well thought out outlooks I’ve seen on here. I’d personally like to see the Hawks approach this offseason by signing guys like Marchessault or Stephenson from Vegas for inflated 2 year deals.

This TDL maybe sell high on Murphy to a contender if they overpay. I’m hoping TB keeps falling and Hawks can grab maybe a guy like Parekh or Silayev if they fall like Moore did (wishful thinking)

If ANYONE approaches the Hawks about Jones and he’s willing to waive his NTC. Do it.
