Team: 2018-19 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 19, 2018

Published: Jun. 19, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

1. Panarin - Multiple sources have said he's not interested in signing an extension. My theory all along was that Bowman told Panarin he planed to bring him back before he was traded ASAP, he just needed a couple of years to make cap space to do it.... I think Bowman planned to sign Panarin next summer (and will regardless of what happens) but to bring Panarin back now I would offer that... It will also be fun to keep the "weirdest 'trade chain' in history" alive with that trade...(Saad for Anisimov, Saad for Panarin and now Anisimov for Panarin) good times...

2. Faulk & Darling - Yes I know that no Carolina fan will ever be satisfied with any proposal for Faulk that doesn't include the Moon, however the Canes get (4) cheap legitimate NHL assets/depth players & (2) nice draft picks. They get a 3rd round pick this season and the Hawks 1st round pick next season, not only that but Hossa's contract covers the cap difference... I think that is more than fair - especially with Faulk being redundant and Darling being nothing more than a cap dump....You get Forsberg in the deal, there is your backup...

3. Wingels, Vermette & Moore - Wingels needs no explanation, he's sandpaper like Martinsen & Vermette - excellent guys to have in your bottom 6. And Vermette - he's excellent at draws and he has a very good two-way game so he can be used as a specialist...... Of course the Hawks need a #5 D and John Moore (a Chicago guy) fills that role excellently.....

4. I figured Jokiharju has a good chance at making the team - if he does, good for him.

5. Hawks take Wahlstrom 8th overall and with his size and skillset I could really see the kid making the team and perhaps making a significant impact.....

All-in-all I think this team has lots of potential and could easily contend for a Cup. This team has the right balance between youth and veteran leadership - it has the right balance between offense, defense and two-way players.... The defense on this team is a real upgrade from last season to boot.....

A team that looks like this is really possible in the fall... I expect Stan to make some significant moves and if Panarin is being shopped you can certainly bet Bowman will do everything in his power to bring him back to Chicago this season - if not this season then certainly next summer...

Alright, flame away boys & girls.

Panarin won’t resign in Chicago after the extension then trade to Columbus..... sorry. Also that’s a lot of trash for a good player.

You’re basically offering nothing to Columbus for Panarin. CBJ don’t need D prospects and and old and oft-injured center.

Those are decent players, just because you're not familiar with them doesn't make them trash.

Either way, I wasn't expecting Panarin to re-sign in Columbus... My theory all along was that Bowman was going to re-sign with the Hawks in the summer of 2019 and Panarin making it known that he's not going to sign an extension was his way of telling Bowman "Dont sign anyone long term, I'm coming back to Chicago one way or another, be it this season or next summer"....

Sorry you feel that way.... What do you think Panarin will get you?

Anisimov was ours and traded for Saad and is way overpaid Forsling is decent but we don’t need d right not, Hillman no ideas on and the first is 20 something and the second is late thirty’s.
Unfortunately your wrong Panarin never said he wouldn’t sign in Columbus but that at this time he’s not open to signing an extension, my guess is that he wants to see the Tavares contract before signing anything, also I highly doubt Panarin would sigh in Chicago with Bowman after what Bowman did last time he signed an extension with them..... if you didn’t know he traded Panarin to Columbus a week or so later after signing the extension.....

Your logic for the Panarin trade is laughable
There are good teams in good cities that can pay much more than Chicago

No, he's not waiting to see what JT gets as Panarin and JT are apples and oranges. He's going to test the open market and likely go to the highest bidder this time next year. Panarin has obviously no desire to stay with Columbus other then if they can offer him the most money next year...that's basically the direct message he just told Columbus which is also a backhanded slap to Columbus. As such, Columbus is confirmed through sources they are shopping him to see what they can get. As beautiful as the wonderful city Columbus is, I'm sure any star player would rather play in a bigger city with a bigger fan base then Columbus unless of course they are from there.

So by this logic no one would sign in Columbus because it’s a smaller city with a small but passionate fan base...... of course the guy from the big city says that.

They have to offer extra as most smaller markets do and although that is often money or bonuses or contract length, it doesn't always mean that. It can mean, having their picture on the face of tickets to a spot on the 1st line to less charity work then some teams ask players for to relocation expenses or playing with someone they know....a lot goes into signing an agreement but generally speaking, smaller markets have to get more creative to attract talent then large markets like Chi, Mtl, Tor, Bos, NYR, etc...the big markets with sellout crowds every game.

Let me rate this.

Walhstrom is already committed going back to college for another year....that is not a bad thing for his development and Hawks need to be patient another year.

Murphy or Rutta have got to go. With Faulk, Jokiharju (he plays on the right no the left) and Seabs, we only need Rutta or Murphy so that frees up cap for this team.

Carolina will probably not retain more then $1.5M...maybe $1.75M on Darling....I'd be shocked if they do more.

Hayden is a winger and Kampf is likely the 4th center. This is why Wingels or Vermette is not necessary, only one of them.

Hino is not a C and with Schmaltz and his bad FO%, we need a lockdown 3C who can win faceoffs if Schmaltz stays at the 2C. May I suggest bringing in Riley Nash?

If you trim the roster to 21 or 22 players, get rid of Murphy or Rutta and either Vermette or Wingels, there's plenty of room to sign Nash and should have about $1.5M left over.

A+ troll work here

The CAR trade might be possible if there was no retained salary. Svedberg is worthless. I doubt CAR sees value in Jurco. Hossa's contract is not valueable to them unless they truly anticipate spending below the floor. Even then its not like they'd pay for the contract.
Why not just add Rutta or Murphy to a CAR trade? The Hawks don't need 5 RHD on the roster next season.

Panarin is not coming back to Chicago. All he said was he didn't want to discuss extensions at this time. And yes he is for sure waiting to see what Tavares and other UFA get this summer. He will have way more leverage when talking extensions when he sees what the market is willing to pay.
Panarin could have gotten more on his last contract if Bowman had traded his rights to someone instead of signing him. I doubt Panarin and his agent were happy about the sign and trade.
Columbus isn't giving up Panarin for that return. There are plenty of teams that would pay twice that for Panarin.

What makes you think that?

Panarin loved playing with Kane and I would bet both my balls he will be Bowman's #1 target next summer if Panarin refuses to sign an extension..

Oh and the Hawks will be contenders again this fall so.....

First off all Bowman signed Panarin to the 2 year extension ONE YEAR PRIOR to trading him, second - the second Bowman traded Panarin for Saad I knew Panarin would be back just like Saad would be coming back when Bowman traded him for Anisimov & Dano and the other junk...

There was no reason for Bowman to make that trade if Bowman didn't anticipate bringing Panarin back...

The Carolina trade works fine..... You want Murphy? FINE... IDK why Carolina would want more defenseman tho, Forsling is a top 4 project and Svedberg is good for the AHL.....

Let's not forget that Darling is a cap dump......... The package Carolina fans want for Faulk & Darling is basically the same package Dorion was basically sending Karlsson & Ryan to Vegas for...... In what universe is Is Faulk and Darling worth that??

Faulk and Darling at full price is worth the 27th overall pick at best..... Sure, you may be able to get a little more for Faulk on his own but that leaves Carolina stuck with Darling and in order to move that contract they would have to include TT...

This deal is no different from the Bickell & TT for a 2nd & 3rd round picks -- very similar situation.... Heck, based on that Faulk & Darling are only worth a 2nd & 3rd round picks as a package....

The best part is that Chicago is the ONLY team that would even consider taking Darling back.... So if Carolina wants him gone then that is their only option.... That or send him to the AHL where they will only get 800k in cap relief.....

So if Carolina wants to get more for Faulk then they're stuck with Darling but if they want to get rid of Darling they're going to have to take less on Faulk, and I wouldn't take Darling back for anything less than 25% retention.

It was less than 6 months. Bowman never gets Saad back if he doesn't win the Panarin sweepstakes. He would have had no assets to trade to get Saad. This logic is flawed.

Forsling isn't even involved in the CAR trade? Svedberg is an UFA? They are trading their top RHD. They'd probably like to fill a spot on their right side after that since the only ones in their entire system are Pesce and TVR.

You can have your opinion on the Faulk-Darling trade but its not the same as the Bickell-TT trade. The Blackhawks literally HAD to trade away cap to ice a full team that year. CAR has no cap constraints so they are not trading from a place of helplessness.

Your logic is flawed, you're trying to imply Bowman signed Panarin just to trade him to get Saad back....... Panarin was signed before Saad was traded for Anisimov +, then Panarin signed a 2 year 6 per extension, then that summer Bowman moved Panarin for Saad+....

Those were cap moves, Saad is signed until 2021, meanwhile Panarin will be a UFA next summer...

What Bowman is doing is getting his cards in order, which is why he has cap space now..

Now Bowman can make a run at Panarin next summer as a UFA and basically laugh how he got Saad for free.....

As far as Forsling.

Forsling is a LHD, the Hawks are loaded with RHD.....Seabrook, Murphy, Rutta, Hillman & Jokiharju are all RHD.... So I don't know what your point is with that.... LHD are a dime a dozen.

Forsling has top 4 potential, he would be good trade bait.... I like the guy but if he can sweeten a deal to improve the Hawks I'm open to moving him. The Hawks aren't "rebuilding" they're retooling at the very best...

The Hawks need a legitimate RHD..... Faulk fits that need.

Keith-Faulk
Moore (UFA)-Seabrook
Osterle-Murphy
Gustafsson-Hillman

That looks good to me..

I'm a Hawks fan dude, I have been one for 35 years, I know what the Hawks needs are and I know how Bowman's mind works........ Yes, Bowman will be very interested in bringing back Panarin and Bowman will be very interested in working a deal for Faulk and Darling...

Geez.
