Quoting: ChiHawk
You need to pay to move Mrazek, guy cleared waivers
Yeah, I get that, but he also cleared waivers in-season. My reasoning is that the Hawks are sitting on 20+ million in cap space with no goalies signed, and if they can get him for next to nothing and he plays okay you could flip him at the deadline. If not, well, I don't think the Hawks are really trying to win next year so they just ride it out. That said, if I had to add a sweetener to the deal I'd do it as long as it was reasonable.
Quoting: Farabee
Just delete the hart trade and get a goalie in F/A
Yeah, I get this too, but goaltending is voodoo and I don't know that one of Kuemper, Husso or Campbell at 5+ million doesn't hurt other parts of that roster. There also isn't anyone else in F/A who I think could be a starter, and trades for better goalies would cost more in terms of picks/prospects/roster players. It is a super risky gamble though, I totally admit that. I just wonder what a 23-year old with experience, term on his contract, and an up and down track record could do on this team?
