De Haan get a 3rd.

Isles don’t need the Shaw LTIR then can send down Hickey, Leo, Panik and Johnston to save cap if they want

Strome wouldn't get an 6 mil offer sheet, likely 4, especially after looking at the hawks cap situation

The Shaw LTIR is basically free space, but if you say you don’t need it that’s fine.

Add Hickey, remove Shaw, and Isles prob say yes.

@ChiHawk
@exo2769

I’d rather have Dvorak tbh… I’d say a 2nd rounder and someone like Ylonen would be my best offer to Strome

I would say with the premium that centers are going for now, that won’t be enough.

I honestly don't think it's all that bad except that we send De Haan to the Isles for a 4th with no retention or 3rd with $1M or so retained. Shaw goes to LITR so shouldn't be included at a cost to the Hawks. Lindholm is top line, he's better then Mccabe

I’m okay with adding a d-man prospect like Brook if that makes you accept it

it puts the Islanders over the off-season salary cap.percemtage

Montreal laughs in Chicago's face at this offer. Strome isn't worth a 1st and 3rd and they're not overpaying when they done have to. Strome isn't their guy, they're heavily interested in Dvorak from Arizona who's far more worth those picks.

The million or so in actual cash shouldn't be at a cost?

Gonna cost more than that !!!

For Strome of Dvorak?

Drouins numbers are better then Strome's at Center
Both are inconsistent and cant win faceoffs over 50%
Strome's 2 years younger which is a big upside but no enough for a 1st and a 3rd
I'd offer off Conditional 2nd's Plural with them converting if Strome hits 60 points and if he make ECF playing 50% with MTL


He's a pending RFA which just leaves us in the same position next year we are with KK this year
We'd much rather Dvorak who's on a good contract with Term and is a top 10 NHL Faceoff Center yearly

Anaheim says Yes and wishes you and Hampus good luck. The third or perhaps Johnson may be overkill.

AZ isn't trading away Dvorak for a 1st and 3rd. AZ needs MORE Dvorak's not less. He's on a really good contract and that's a premium to budget teams like AZ. Romanov would be required for Dvorak.

KK would never receive a 6,1M OS oh wait.....

Stop it with Drouin. It's not the 2 years younger...it's the $2.5M overpay AND another year of that terrible contract.

This year
Strome is Arbitration eligible and pending RFA
His will be worse

It's all dependent on Toews and what condition he's in to come back. As a Hawks fan, I would not do the swap all by itself. The 30th pick in the draft isn't exciting. Having center depth for a playoff run is exciting. With that said...if Stan could somehow convince ANA into a 3-way trade, Then yes I would. Hampus would indeed be a VERY nice piece to have. This would introduct another problem next year with the cap, but Hampus is indeed a very good player.

As a side note...I think ANA would actually rather have Vlasic. The 6'6" defensive Dman next to Drysdale would be perfect.

If it's a higher cap hit...he would have either A.) Earned it or B.) You can let him walk. If Drouin doesn't make a monster comeback...he's a cap dump. At least if Strome stinks...you just let him walk.

Drouin gets crapped on because of his contract like you said
Take it away and everyone loves him

KK and Strome will face these situations
KK because of the OS
Strome because CHI has no choice but to pay
MTL if they acquired him would have no choice but to pay

We already got Suzuki to worry about

hahaahahaha

I said Shaw shouldn't be included in the trade at a cost to the Hawks....meaning, no reason for the 3rd wealthiest team in the league to not just put Shaw on LITR and eat the $1m
