Connor Brown is far more valuable than Maatta, especially in Ottawa where LD is one of their deeper positions, and RW is their weakest.

Not a chance Ottawa or Edmonton take those trades. Way too one sided I’d have to think. The Pittsburgh is an interesting one and I do like ZAR.

Stop it. Crow > Murray

Not gonna argue that one at the moment, but given Crawford’s eminent retirement in 2-3 years, when are the hawks gonna think about finding a replacement?

All teams reject your trades. If Seabrook retires, don't we still have to deal with his contract during the offseason? So with Shaw and Seabrook, we're actually around 10 mil over the cap. That's a fat cap penalty.

Yea I messed up when making this, I will go back and fix it. but your right

Do they need to find it today? I don't think so. There are too many goalies out there that need to find homes before I trade assets away for a slumping one.

The Problem is Crow is 35 and now is the time to find a replacement for him and when Matt Murray is on the Market, The Hawks need to explore all there options

But we don't need to do it July 1st 2020. There are LOTs of options for us. Lehner and Crow are both UFAs. AND I personally think Matt Murray will be a UFA this summer. His trade value is low, but his arbitration value is high. PIT probably can't keep him so who's actually going to send PIT value? MAYBE only one of the teams that don't get Crow or Lehner. So why trade anything for him?

The honest truth is...we probably can't afford Murry and he'll only be on a 1 year deal. So if we trade for him and don't agree with the arbitrator...he's going to be a UFA and we just lost Saad for literally nothing...except the $1M we retained.

I would not trade Maatta and a 2nd for Brown. Brown has had one good season that was a direct result of a ton of ice time. He would not be playing 20 minutes a night on any other team. It’s not like 43 points in 71 games is even that crazy. Look at Dzingel if you want a sample of a successful middle six player coming out of Ottawa onto a new team.

It ain't Murray who's proven highly inconsistent

Bingo thank you. No thanks to that PIT deal as such. Would much rather have Saad on this team and he likely will re-sign if Hawks agree not to expose him to the expansion draft. Otherwise, just move him at the TDL for a 1st plus a prospect.

Ya no thanks from Edmonton, would want more for Puljujarvi.

I believe there are 2 choices for LTIR : putting them on it for the offseason, which kind of sets a hard cap of how much you can go above the cap during the regular season, so while you CAN do it, I think most teams try to avoid that, mainly for TDL purposes, and then the other one that most teams do of putting them on LTIR the 1st day of the season which gives you more flexibility.

Your not a hawks fan are you? The lines are awful and every team declines your trades, seabrook isn't retiring (unfortunatly), and we aern't firing colliton after just recently giving him the job.

Nah fire still Colliton

not yet

Colliton has proven multiple times this year that he's not fit to be a NHL coach and since their good coaches on the market, the hawks should accept their mistake and move on. I feel if we don't fire Colliton it can hurt the development of Dach, Boqvist, Nylander, and Mitchell in future years
