Why would the Panthers do that, lol

Pretty solid effort! You've correctly ID'ed the positions the Hawks most likely target in free agency: top 6 W, 2C, 3RD and vet G. Not sure I agree with these particular players, but they aren't too far off. Like the Lundell trade for the Hawks, but can't see the Panthers doing it. Faksa is a cap dump from the Hawks perspective. Stars pay at least a 3rd to move him to Chicago.

I can’t imagine anyone gives Samsonov $3.5m after this season, the guy looks like he is allergic to pucks.

Bogosian would be a waste of $2m, I would just as soon bring Tinordi back on an NHL minimum deal.

I like the thought of acquiring Lundell a lot, but adding Reichel is WAYYY too much. I don't care if Reichel isn't having a good season. He is 21 years old in his first full NHL season. Relax. We could literally just offer sheet Lundell for $4.2M for 1 year, and FLA probably wouldn't be able to match, and all it would cost us is our 2025 2nd round pick. Add Guttman, sure. Raddysh, why not. Dickinson, yeah, maybe even with retention. But, Reichel? Not a chance. I wouldn't trade Reichel by himself for Lundell.
