Attacking the UFA Market

Created by: hawksfan88
Team: 2018-19 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 5, 2018
Published: Jan. 5, 2018
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This is my ideal off-season. I still think the current team is a contender and they will have a stronger cup push this season because of the fact they will have to fight till the last game. That being said, the team could use a bit of retooling in order to remain a contender in the Kane/Toews era. They're nowhere near done yet, they just need a little extra help.

FREE AGENTS:
John Carlson- Best RD on the market. I'd pay him to help balance a weakening D core.
James Van Riemsdyk- Big body the Hawks need to get in around the net and as a result he's a good scorer.
Tyler Bozak- Very good 2 way player. Essentially replacing Anisimov as 2nd line center.
Dylan Sikura- hoping the Hawks sign him this Spring to help them on a cup run and that would result in 1 year left on his ELC.
TRADES:
Coyotes: Marian Hossa will help them get to the cap floor and he actually has a small salary so that helps the small market team. In return for taking his contract we'll give the Yotes two RFAs with potential and an early puck for hometown boy Dvorak and a mid pick.
Vegas trade: This could be anyone, really just a change of scenery for Panik, who could still be a good scoring forward.
Carolina: Carolina could use another Center and they have a boatload of young defensemen.

Vinnie Hinostroza is similar to Dvorak, plus they're getting Jan Rutta who has top4 D potential as well as a 2nd round pick. Seems like a decent offer to me

hinostroza is not similar to dvorak.

anyways, you give attractive pieces to move Hossa, you don't get a very attractive one back.

I mean you put him on Chicago's top line!
