Aren't Seabrook and Shaw officially retired? Or are they forever on LTIR?

Still costs a lot of cap space. Basically took us out of doing anything in FA.

What would we have done with the money that helps us more than getting the vezina winner though? We can't be allocating cap long term with Jones extention kicking in in a year anyways, plus Cat and Dach extentions coming shortly as well. Who on a one year deal did you want to sign that is better than this? There is no LD that helps us in FA, Martinez signed with Vegas already.

There are 8-12 teams seriously looking for goalies....
Did they want the Vezina trophy winner for nothing?
Nope.
They want to hold off for Antti Raanta and Linus freakin' Ullmark.

MAF might retire which makes Bowman look even more stupid.

I get that he just won a Vezina, but the chances he plays so well again? In front of the Hawks D? I find it unlikely he will be able to sustain a high level again. I hope I’m wrong if/when he plays.

I agree. Wait until next year for big free agency signings. I made a team a while ago where I signed Fleury for the 22-23 season. Acquiring him now increases our chance of resigning him when this deal is over. Fleury/Lankinen tandem is pretty damn good.

How is this a "yikes"
This is a great move for the hawks for this coming season. They don't commit to any FA long term with Jones deal coming next year along with resigning Dach, Strome, and Kurashev. It makes perfect sense... for once.

Just wondering what you would have rather done is all. Can't say that it's a bad use of cap if you don't have any better way to use it. Lets assume the rumors that he will retire aern't true for the sake of argument, worst case is we still suck this year and trade him half retained for a pick. Fleury is undoubtedly better than subban. We're better at keeping it out of our own net than we were an hour ago and we got him for free. I'm not complianing

I wanted to shore up the D some more, like Jake McCabe and resigning the RFA’s would have been nice. MAF had a career year and probably won’t replicate it.
