Description
Ok, I'm jumping a year in advance here so, and I'm assuming the the Seattle franchise will be ready to rock while making this team.

I'm speculating the salary cap will be 87.

Obviously this is a crap-shoot, however this roster is based on a lot of "assumptions"... I'm assuming Bowman will trade Murphy and Anisimov, so I just placed them on LTIR rather than propose trades...

Both the bottom 6 and the bottom 4 are nothing more than speculation from this far out..

On paper it looks pretty good tho if these younger players keep on progressing...

I re-signed Panarin because I honestly believe Bowman will bring him back..

I signed OEL because at some point the Hawks are going to need a youngerish #1... Keith is still great but 2 years from now you would think Q would want to limit the miles on the 37-year-old Keith.

All and all it's difficult to make 2-year projections without knowing the future...

I wanted to see if I could put together a competitive team with what the Hawks have and what is available over the next couple of years and I think I accomplished that mission....

So I think the Hawks will be okay moving forward if Bowman uses his cap space wisely ..

Either way this is very interesting.

$12M growth in the cap in just two seasons? Seems really unlikely. At that point, I doubt both OEL and Panarin can comfortably be afforded. Here, I feel like Saad has to be traded if you want to sign both guys.

Well, this is all assuming Seattle is awarded a franchise and is ready to join the league in 2019-20. If they do the cap will go up, the cap is going up significantly this summer due to Vegas joining the league add another team and the cap will go up even more ..... The cap is expected to go up to 82 million this summer due to Vegas, but I think it will actually be higher than that due to the success and revenue Vegas is taking in. The Vegas attendance is 103% every game, and that's a good indicator for the cap - the economy is also a lot better, and that translates to more revenue.

Remember, the cap is tied to league gross revenue..

Of course we won't know what the cap will be until teams submit their receipts .... We should have a very good idea before the draft.

So yea, I don't think I'm shooting the moon on estimations - especially if Seattle is ready to go.

laugh No way is Ekman-Larsson signing for $2 million more then what he's currently making now. Ekman-Larsson will get closer to $8.5 million or $9 million and no way he's signing with the Hawks greater chance in Detroit since he grew up a Red Wings fan then Chicago.

No, what's funny is you think OEL will sign in Detroit just because he grew up a Redwings fan.... NOW THAT IS FUNNY!!

You think OEL is interested in signing with another rebuilding team after he's been in Arizona/Phoenix all this time with nothing to show for it? Because you know, just because right? because he grew up a Redwings fan...lol

laugh Where do you think that Hawks are heading in a few years towards a rebuild of their own, No way are the Hawks the same team as their cup years. The Hawks are trending down here badly. And yeah i definitely see OEL in Detroit before Chicago Chicago doesn't even have close to the cap to afford Ekman-Larsson they're in cap hell for the foreseeable future need to unload on Seabrook before you can even come close to Ekman-Larsson.
