Description

if i were gm this is what i would do, I think the trades are pretty realistic and the line combos are based of what i think would be best for development and skill matching. I have Mesar with Slafkovsky as they are childhood friends and can help each feel more comftorble and develop.

I'm just curious how you come to the conclusion that Desmith is worth more value than Dach.

Desmith doesn’t have that much value

Hawks laugh and hang up the phone.

Both deals are just brutal.

Hawks decline both those trades. The only way the Hawks take DeSmith is if Mrazak suffers a long term injury during training camp. Then maybe that swap of 3rds gets it done. And the Hawks aren't trading Dach before he even plays one game as a pro.

Desmith is worth no where close to that. Don’t see Desmith and Dvorak being appealing for rebuilding teams

Price was a bright spot. Almost singlehandedly won them a cup.
