Why on earth would San jose do that?

On board w/ drafting Celebrini and maybe signing DeBrusk. Hawks don't target any of those other UFA's. And Hawks don't make any of those 3 trades. Would the Hawks be "better"? Yeah, probably. Still don't make the playoffs though.

I'd try and sign guentzel cause Taylor hall will be done after.

Those signings are not realistic at all. top UFA's in their prime are not going to take discounts to sign with the worst team in the league just to improve them to bubble status

If Guentzel will sign a 2x$10m deal, then sure. Hawks aren't signing any UFA this summer to a long term deal. But Jake will want term, so like I said, Hawks won't even target him.

2x5m no, 6x 7m yes

Am I missing something with Reichel? I now he's had a brutal season but it seems pointless to sell him that low

For one Addison Has fell out of the roster. People are passing him up.
Sturm has had a disappointing season.
You give up a 3rd rd

But you also gain a 2nd rd
Then you get Andreas who is a speedster and can help the top 6 with his presence. He's got skills and would be good addition for the rebuild.

Sturm is one of better guys in the dot this season in the league. He’s also significantly cheaper and a center. You can have Addison if you want but not Sturm and Addison and a pick to take on over two mil

He can be good on the dot buts it's essentially 5 on 4. With a change of scenery it can do him some good.

What lol? No it’s not and he loves it in San Jose
