No, because Seabs won't waive. The only chance of Seabs waiving is going home to Toronto and even then, highly unlikely.

Isnt he from BC?

Yes, was thinking the Nucks but typed Toronto for some reason.

No because I want to keep Seabs for 1-2 more years

As an NYR fan, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near this trade

If Seabrook would waive his clause, I think they would definitely consider it.

Why do you want to keep Seabs?

This is No way in hell the Hawks are moving the #3 overall pick for this crap, I wouldn't move Detroit's 6th for this garbage.

You'd be stupid not to, its a pretty decent package (moving back to the 20th pick in the draft to get a top 6 winger, potential #1 G of the future, and late 2nd rounder while unloading one of the worst contracts in the league)

NYR should not get more ****ty D contracts though, especially one with 5 more years on it

A bunch of reasons. A.) He played 19+ min a game last year. Sure, it wasn't Norris worthy, but 19 min is still a significant role to fill. B.) He's the only Blackhawks Dman that can move bodies away from in front of Crow. C.) He costs too much to shed because of his 5 years left. What ever team gets him will charge an arm and a leg...while actually imrpvoing the defense for a year or 2. If you're going to pay this kind of price...make sure it's for only bad years.

The Seabrook contract legit is the worst in the NHL. 3OA is a massive asset but in this draft 3-10/12 are kinda close. Feel like there are trades NYR can make that to get into that tier that don’t bring the Staal contract 2.5x back to NYR Cap.
