Team: 2024-25 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 28, 2024
Published: Apr. 10, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Taxi squad shows future inserts, need to sign some veteran toughness that can play and protect young guys. A couple forwards and a defenseman perhaps. A center, rw and rd maybe. That would send a defenseman down to rockford and probably eliminate Raddysh from coming back. Short term deals that could be flipped at trade deadline.

I agree with drafting Levshunov if you don't win the draft

You are also below the cap, I suggest bringing in a top 6 vet. Personally I think this is the perfect team for Toffoli, gives you guys another goal scorer and you will actually be able to offer him the term he wants without it harming you down the road

I agree with you. I mentioned it in the description, as well, but if this is the starting point plus 3 tough ufa's. Who would fans like to see if 3 ufa's were signed to this squad?

This is an outsiders perspective but I think Slaggert and Nazer should start in the AHL unless they have exceptional camps.

UFA wise my suggestions would be
1. Tyler Toffoli: 5-6M x 5 years
2. Jack Roslovic: ~4M x 4 years

I don't recommend signing more 1 year deals unless someone is truly looking to redeem themselves You only have 2 retention slots and 3 pending UFA's. Also if you are going to offer Vlasic that much you should try and get way more term, I would base it off the Marino, Samuelsson, and Mikey Anderson deals

Most likely, slaggert and nazer, are potentially ahl. I agree with signing Vlasic for more term if possible. I am not a fan of signing Tyfolli or Roslovic more than 2yrs, but fine with signing these players however. I think they will need an enforcer signed to replace Tinordi... and on defense as well. Plus I would like to see a winger comparable to Jeannot that will throw-em with anyone and forechecks hard, with lots of hits. Team needs to toughen up, to put fear in other teams coming at the smaller stars.

Toffoli wants a long term deal, he's not going to sign in Chicago if he was willing to take a short term deal. He will be looking for a deal like Palat and Killorn got. There is also nothing wrong with giving him term as Chicago isn't going to be in cap trouble for some time. Roslovic gives you a solid middle 6 center and in his prime.

If you are looking for a tough guy I would suggest brining back Reese Johnson. William Carrier is also a solid option. I could see Mantha looking to reup his career somewhere too

Hawks really can't do "nothing". They'll need to spend 6 to 8 million in free agency or acquire a couple of bad contracts to hit the cap floor. Hawks need a middle 6 center, a vet 3rd pair RD and a better 7th D option than Megna or Tinordi.

UFA'S that come to mind and what would lure them are; Tarasenko, Tyler Bertuzzi, Matt Martin, Liam O'Brian, and Chris Tanev. 2 tough wingers that can play top 6, 2 4th line fighters, and a top 4 Right defense. 1 from each group, or 2 top 6 and a fighter. Tyfolli fits in the first group as well.

Tarasenko and Martin maybe. The rest are very unlikely, especially if you aren't offering more than 2 years of term. Most of these players are going to be looking for a chance at a cup, Tank has already won it so he may look for the best deal possible and Martin may just take the highest paying contract since he isn't worth much
