This is laughable ? 30 million in 3 players? Lol. Hossa has a cap that’s not going to impact the team. That’s what LTIR is. Hawks fans need to stop wanting to trade Murphy. That’s almost as bad as leafs fans wanting to trade Gardiner. Based on Bowman logic, you aren’t going to trade for Duclair and then trade him away right away. He’s not under performing. Knowing Toronto, you’d get a 4th out of Rutta

Yes obviously Hossa can be put on LTIR. But its much easier to manage the cap and recalls when he's not even on the books.
The Hawks have no use for him in this situation. And they have Jokiharju and Mitchell a year away from breaking into the league. So trading Murphy is a very reasonable move. And there is very little similarity between him and Gardiner. Murphy played 16:22 a game and was scratched 6 times, Gardiner played 22:32 a night and played every game. Murphy had 14 points to Gardiner's 52. Very different situations.
Hawks could trade Rutta to anyone else that needs RHD help and get a return.

Obviously you haven't seen the news about the Blackhawks being players for Tavares. Not saying they're the favorites, but they will be in the sweepstakes. The problem with LTIR is you can't use the cap space until the beginning of the regular season, so if the Hawks wanted to make a big free agency signing, then they would be handcuffed with Hossa's cap hit. If the Hawks bring in Faulk, they will have too many RHD and Murphy is the obvious choice to go, since they cannot move Seabrook, and Rutta is cheaper on a one year deal, plus we have a stud in Jokiharju coming up. Finally, Bowman has been known to acquire players then trade them away, take a look at your boy Trevor Daley. Do some research before you start spilling nonsense please.

I wish this were true.....
