Lets assume Thomson and Foote are a wash in value. A late 1st doesnt bridge the gap in Marino and DeBrincat

Marino + 1st for an unsigned DeBrincat? I am not sure. I could see both sides, tbh

You've offered more for an unsigned Meier

If we are including Thomson, I’d want someone better than Foote tbh

Hawks decline IMO. Hawks don't need to retain on McCabe, he is well worth a 2nd plus at full cap hit and a very reasonable cap hit at that.

Kevin Bahl would be of little interest to the Hawks, they have way too many LHD prospects/young players as it is and will need to shed some not add.

Zetterlund could be interesting. 2nd + Zetterlund may be able to get McCabe at full cap hit provided the Hawks like Zetterlund enough. Don't see them moving Raddysh for a 4th though.

I thought you were not interested in DeBrincat? I'd love to see him here but IDK giving up Marino.

He's not a Marino fan either though. Been trying to ditch Marino and overpay Severson all year.

I don’t think I am either pro- or anti- Debrincat. It’s been my belief that Fitzy will not likely pursue him as I don’t think he fits the interior player we need. But he is a good player.

TBH, it’s just that Meier and Boeser and getting a little old. I want some new ideas for ACGMs.

My first stab at a McCabe deal.
I was thinking Bahl, 2nd for McCabe. Zetterlund for Raddysh. And 4th for retention.
I am indifferent on Raddysh, it just fit the theme of ACGM.
Maybe if NJD interest in Domi is real, there could be Domi/McCabe combo.

I'm not sold on DeBrincat wanting to be in Ottawa

I bet Bratt gets at least $8,000,000 to $8,500,000.

DeBrincat will get close to $9,000,000 per. And if Ottawa were to deal him. Probably a better offer as well.
