Thread: If we were taking a shot

The one downside I see in this trade effects us in 2 years with capspace and I'm not sure we win a Stanley in the next 2 years to warrant a move like this. Rakell would be a welcome addition though the term is the question mark for me. Other than that its a good trade idea!

Thread: Trading TJ with some value and RD

Thats a good trade for ducks and lightning, would have to be thought over by both sides but definitley could be some form of a deal there.

As for the trade with us, We can likely get better value return for Zadarov by way of draft pick/s and/or prospect/s, so on that basis alone I would decline.

Thread: Screw it lets go all in

I think they taking this year to develop our defensive core of beaudin boqvist and Mitchell. TBH we are on a good run but we need to show it in the next stretch of games against some really tough opponents.

It would be amazing offensively but defensively not great. I tend to agree with Wadejos and trust the process a little more and see who we can pickup in free agency and drafts.

Seems a fairly even trade from the outside. A change is probably needed for both.

Thread: Weaponize cap space to finish the rebuild

Really like the optimism though these trades are not fair value. Would be happy for these to happen but unfortunately they are not realistic.

Thread: 2022 with Gibson

Not a likely scenario with Gibson. His price is too high for us in a rebuild.

Not for what we spent to get him. They picked up Luke Tuch with our 2nd we gave so would prefer that Shaw helps our team as we have seen in the past. Its not like he is too old

Thread: blackhawks rebuild

Strome aint getting a massive contract atm, particularly after last season. AA would be a welcomed addition if he can find form but I'm not sure he comes to us and not sure on that figure. The trades are not great either, we shouldn't be paying to move Shaw, we gave up a 2nd and 3rd for him and De Haan is going to be helpful partner to Mitchell/Boqvist throughout this season.

Forum: Armchair-GMNov 25, 2020 at 10:05

Thread: Not much pieces left to sell

None of those trades are any good for Hawks. De Haan is a good defensive defenceman, the compensation for Johnson is not good for the term and Murphy is viewed in high regard by management.

Thread: Simple moves to start the rebuild

All bad moves IMO. Shaw needs to be given time to earn more value in the trade market or could unfortunately retire if he gets another concussion.

Thread: Blockbuster Trade

Look, this trade is very lop sided. Teply and Beaudin are definitely not the worst prospects but they aren't our top prospects and the 3 MTL prospects are definitely a hotter commodity currently.

Thread: Strome for DeBrusk who adds

The concept is good thought and although my initial thoughts were that it could benefit both mutually regardless of what picks/prospects would need to be included I think Debrusk is another lightweight winger to add to our top 6. I like his game and his grit but I would probably prefer a bigger bodied wing. In closing, if this is what we ended up with I wouldn't be deeply upset.

Thread: Its different

Something our GM would likely consider though I would really hope not, the difference between a 1st for Boston and 2nd for us is too close to take on 3 years of a defenceman in which we have enough already unless its going to be a top liner.

Thread: That seals the deal

This has been a very tough trade to stomach. Hoping there is some light at the tunnel.

Btw I think Zadarov is a very serviceable defensemen but I do feel we drew the short straw.

Thats a HUGE NO from the Hawks, I think I could safely speak for most of us in that regard.

Thread: resigning

Not enough value in return getting rid of Murphy, Smith doesn't need to be traded necessarily and a cheaper regular buyout could be offered. Also still retains a limited amount of value due to his ability to PK.

Murphy would command a higher return IMO. Also we are going to need him if Seabs is a CBO.

I also think Kubalik gets a bridging deal at a lower rate. The other RFA seem reasonable with Strome potentially getting to 4M

There may be other options then Demelo and I think we have our top 2 RD sorted for the time being with Boqvist and Murphy with Mitchell and KK/Carlsson/7th Man

Thread: 20-21

Seems likely and trying Suter isn't necessarily a big risk so no issue here. I haven't seen him but numbers appear alright.

IMO thats a really good blended lineup, only issue is "IF" De Haan and Shaw will be fit enough to last the season, if they aren't we are lacking

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 28, 2020 at 3:03

Thread: Bye bye Seabs and Strome and welcome Brodin and Dell

Brodin would need an extension and we probably should be getting a tidy prospect to go with him in return for Strome.

Thread: Where do they go from here

Panthers would have to add for sure. I would suspect a pretty decent pick also.

Why would we give away Caggs? We can likely get a 3rd for Maatta on his own.

I would be more attracted to Shaw + 4th/5th for Murray.
