It's fun but CHI should really just continue to suck. Then when Bedard hit's his prime the team will be stacked.

lol yeah that’d be nylander and if he signs for 10 or even 11 after that it would make a lot of sense for the hawks I like it

Hawks should not do anything remotely like this; stay the course. Maybe bring in 1 big name next summer but if that's the case of all the big names you have here, I would go after Sam Reinhardt for $10M (give or take). He's an awesome 2 way right winger to play with Bedard long term and also a position where our prospect pool is weak at. Outside of that, the Hawks stay the course

This....we are at the very least another if not two seasons away from time to go all in. All this AGM would accomplish is having the Hawks a fringe playoff team (the D and goaltending are still not THAT good) that at best maybe sneaks in and gets bounced in round 1 of the playoffs leaving us with a pick in the 20's instead of in the teens which is usually enough of a difference between a top half of a roster player verses a bottom half (and we still need a few more potential top half of a roster guys). Take our lumps going through the growing pains of the kids auditioning for spots and grab a pick in the 5-15 range again and have enough of the kids sort through their growing pains that you start to have a core of a handful of young players to build around first, before you try to plug holes.

I do love the idea of Reinhart. I do realize the cap is going up and that the Hawks are probably going to have to overpay to get someone that will have options to come, but I would hope a long term deal for Reinhart would come in closer to the 8-9 range than 10.
