Team: 2020-21 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 3, 2020

Published: Aug. 3, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This assumes the following:

Kubalik and Strome are amenable to 1 year bridge deals
Flat cap means no trade partners available for Maatta or Smith
No LTIR for Shaw and Seabrook

If the Salary Cap continues to be flat in the 2021 - 2022 season, there will need to be a major trade done to stay under the cap (Buyout penalty peaks in that season), although the Seabrook buyout penalty would be more manageable if done in June 2021

The Hawks aren't in as much trouble as people think. They'll be able to shed of their players without having to give away the store. DeHaan/Maatta have value. I'm not saying they'll get 1st rounder back at all, but they're not going to have to send assets away either.

Yeah this is mostly a worst case scenario. I like Maatta and Smith but if Seabrook and Shaw are effectively done, but still on the books, it will present problems. I am really sick of trading young players away to solve cap problems, so this was my alternative.

Pius Suter in the lineup over Kurashev, Chalupa, Telpy, Hagel, Carpenter, Kampf.

Kubalik-Toews-Saad
Nylander-Strome-Kane
Suter-Dach-Debrincat
Cagulla-Kampf-Carpenter
Highmore
Hagel

Hawks aren't in as much trouble as people think, but we will need to find a way to shed 4-5 mil most likely. Smith Buyout will save 2.1 mil, then Move one of Maata or Dehaan and one of Cagulla or Shaw. Worst case scenario being buyouts like you did, but I think we could find trade partners
