This team/roster will be good for another 1 OA pick in 2024...

Sign back Kane and go get Panarin in NY or Miller in VAN....you really need a REAL 1C... to support and protect Bedard!

Piss off.

It would be a huge mistake to go all in right away. This team is about establishing some pieces to support Bedard without mortgaging the future. You have young guys like Riechel and Korchinski who will eventually develop into the core of the team as well. Patience is really key for Chicago if they don’t want to end up like Buffalo 2015-2022

I agree... Patience yes, my point was simply to say that this roster will be fighting again for the top picks in 2024 & 25.

Maybe if u remove the third the Provy deal is okay

Canucks pass, we can get more for Garland.

20th overall for provorov is fine i think. The third is a bit of a balancing but take it or leave it I guess. He makes a lot and Philly is in a cap crunch. Sanheim is going to pick up the slack next year. A change of scenery would be good for Provirov I think.

What do you think you guys can get for him (with the Pearson LTIR dump as well).

We can at least get a 2nd at least, no reason to include Pearson to diminish the return on Garland from our POV

Depends on the demand for garland maybe. I think Canucks might want to limit their off season cap hit and increase flexibility to make other moves. Getting one of garland or boeser off the books will help a lot but I think they’d prefer to keep boeser around. I still think hawks might look at a guy like garland for a late second (TB, NYR) or even their own third. Lots of picks to make noise

You’re right on everything except Philly is in a cap crunch. Once FA’s leave they will start to actively take in back contracts for picks lol they will have around $15M without trading anyone. Once Hayes goes that will probably open up another $5M so no cap crunch. They will probably trade Provy but not cause of cap reasons and I don’t see them giving up a third for it either. I think he’s worth at least a 1st, probably more if they retain on him

Hawks aren't trading away that '23 Tampa 1st unless it's to move up in the '23 1st round. No chance they trade it for 2 years of Provorov. Vlasic will be on top pair w/ Jones next season. Hawks don't make that Vancouver trade either. They can get a forward equal to Garland in free agency and save that pick as well.

I should rephrase… they might have a lot of space, but a lot of bloated contracts. Instead of paying to dump DeAngelo or Risto, they might as well get future assets for a guy who hasn’t lived up to his reputation the last couple years and won’t fit their future timeline. The additional Third might be unnecessary, as you said.

Who in FA is as good/young as Garland? I think he fits the Hawks timeline really well.

I'd go after Bunting from Toronto over Garland. Bunting is a solid offensive player and has an edge to his game to help protect Bedard when he gets roughed up. Domi coming back is another option I like better than Garland.

HAHA no...

Hronek got a mid 1st and mid 2nd...he's not Provy.

Are you implying we should be getting more for Provy or less? Because I think we should be getting more

They’re basically the same age but Hronek makes a lot less and has RFA control after this season. I think the market for Provorov is a lot weaker as Hronek is also a RHD and they usually go for a premium. 20th overall straight up should get the job done.

No, no it shouldn't. It makes no sense for us to move our #1 D for 20th when if we wait another year, we can move him at the TDL for much more than 1 mid round 1st.

More

That I can agree with, if you can’t get a 1st + more this year just wait til deadline and hope he rebounds a bit and if not so be it, someone will be desperate for him at a deadline
