A 2nd rounder would do it, and we would buy smith out。

Say what? Hawks make that deal in a heartbeat and insert Smith into their middle 6. Or are you that stoked about Gorman's potential?

I think there are better options, and I said the hawks would buy him out because I don’t think he would want to play for us…

exactly how do you trade rights of a FA?

doesn't make sense from the beginning.

PIT can actually get a return on Smith. They aren't paying CHI to take him

I wouldn't assume that. But I guess it's possible.

Smith really doesn’t move the needle for me, the guy is close to aging out of the league and his production has dropped… remember what Foligno, Jones ,and Dickinson were saying at the end of the season? I don’t think he’s going to come here with the proper mindset in this type of trade… no need for Tyler Johnson 2.0 for cheaper than what we were paid for Johnson!

You could say that about any cap dump transaction. Dickinson and Mrazek were cap dumps and look how those turned out. I don't think Smith is that far gone. He can still hang. He was fine the year before, PIT was just not good all around this year. I blame Dubas for generally being an awful GM.

The context is different for those two, at this point in Chicagos rebuild a focus and emphasis should be placed on improvement and culture building. I dunno much about Smith as a leader, but getting traded 2 times in ~ a year doesn’t inspire confidence.

Honestly, I've liked Smith for a long time and I think he's still got it, or at least ENOUGH of "it". I think it was just a case of Dubas being an idiot, ignoring things like culture and chemistry, thinking he can just throw bodies at the thing and they will do stuff cuz "I am super smart Kyle Dubas." It's a chance I'd be willing to take if we are being paid to take him. And it's not like he is injury prone or something.

But when I brought up "all cap dumps", I was also referring to others that have been proposed lately involving CHI, like Lee, Skinner, etc.

It comes down to personal preference… at the very least Lee and Skinner would come with term.

Why would you want the term? The term is what makes them a bigger cap dump.

The term makes me more inclined to think they would play team oriented I guess. One of the things Jones was saying at the end of the season… too many guys playing for themselves. Lee is always a high quality guy… Skinner… idk. Smith has all of the reason to play the wrong way to try and get to a contender… but I guess I don’t know enough about him to think he would play like that 100%

Oh ok. Not exactly something I would be looking for in a cap dump. But I gotcha now. I think I'd like that more from bottom 6 role players. Lower aav, term, and just come fight with us. But yeah, taking on short term contracts and cap dumps could bring in more people who don't give a crap. Which, honestly, I think reflects poorly upon them too. Like, why would another team want you if you don't give your all every night and don't listen to your coaches or play in a team structure. You want to revive your career? Then you dig in, buckle down, and be where you are and help your team. I guess they were referring to more of a sub-conscious thing, though. It's just hard to be engaged when you know you aren't gonna be there long.
