This is just bad and none of it helps the hawks.
Arizona trade - Do not want ELO, that contract is going to be bad in a few years and Teows is worth more to the Hawks.
Toronto trade - no chance in hell. Johnsson is close to cap dump. His advanced stats away from Matthews are plain bad. Next to Matthews and Marner, two elite players and he's only on pace for 15 goals; sorry but there are plenty of players in the league that can do that and don't cost $3.4M. Johnsson on his best day is worth a 3rd. Murphy is worth a 1st. Way off here.
San Jose trade - value is okay but we don't have a need for Merkley. Hawks have Boqvist, Mitchell, Regula all as prospects and Boqvist and Mitchell are better, Regula very close to Merkley. Not to mention Murphy and Seabs. The only defense we need is a #1 LHD otherwise we have an absolute logjam of players and prospects.
Pitt trade - Murray is not worth a 2nd and Kampf. Kampf is a defensive stud on the 4th line, awesome PK player and cheap, we aren't giving him up. We just offered Crow $3.5M and he will likely take that for 2 years. He's better then Murray. We need a young goalie behind Crow not someone who wants a starting job and costs $4.5M.
WPG trade - Caggs and Koekko are both worth a 4th rounder maybe a 3rd for one of them. 1st is way too much.
