Thread: Trading Mcdavid and Nuge for a rebuild

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

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.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 19 at 2:42

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.

Thread: Spitballing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>Columbus can’t afford that trade... if you’d consider it Shaw and 2021 3rd for Murray?

Columbus has no room for more wings. We need a center and Chicago needs centers about as much as Columbus does. There really isn’t a trade here that fits. Sorry.</div></div>

Both have injury issues. straight swap or CBJ include a pick also or we include a later pick.

All dependant on if Murray can skate or not. At least Shaws body is fine just his head has been the issue.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 17 at 5:57

Thread: Spitballing

I don't think FLA take that at all and I don't think the CBJ trade is great for us. The others are just fillers and would be okay moving to other teams or buyouts etc.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Thank you. The issue with trying to move to Shaw or De Haan is their values will be all time low plus would like require us to retain. As much as I love Shaw, I wouldn't mind seeing him retire.</div></div>

I totally agree, I wouldn't have issue with any of the three retiring though don't see Seabs walking from over $6m a year.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 17 at 12:05

Thread: Likely Scenario Cap does not increase much

This is probably one of the most likely outcomes I have seen on here though knowing Stan he will try "move the needle" through trades or UFA.

I agree that Smith is either bought out or moved and your spot on that Maatta for the money needs to be moved.

This is all on the proviso we have a healthy Shaw, De Haan and Seabrook. I can't see all 3 staying healthy so I wouldn't be opposed to moving Shaw or De Haan due to these facts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>Is Shalunov really predicted to make the team next year? I haven’t followed the KHL closely and I see a lot of folks signing him.</div></div>

Wasn't sure Kuba would make the team this year but he has turned out really well this year. We have a decent record bringing euros across lately.

I think Shalunov may come across and give NA a try before its too late. I think he is hitting 27 now so not getting any younger. Worst case, he ends up in Rockford or heads back to KHL.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 13 at 3:24

Thread: Edmonton Blackhawks

The fact there is no Kubalik, Saad, Murphy or Boqvist and Bear leaves a lot to be desired on this combined roster.

Also agree with above, putting Strome on a win is not great.

Drai Mcdavid Kane
Kuba Toews Saad
Cat Strome AA
Nyla RNH Chiasson/Kassian

Keith Bear
Nurse Murphy
Klefbom Boqvist/Larsson

Crow
Smith

All IMO

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 12 at 7:02

Thread: Lots of hypotheticals

I like the Pulock idea though unfortunately I think Seabs will be back and I also think Mitchell is coming up so really makes his pickup void. If we had a space I would totally agree and want him in.

Im not so sure on the Strome Idea. Im not 100% opposed to trading Strome but idont think this is it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhatNowDiscussion</b></div><div>I like raymond over Holtz despite his lack of production</div></div>

I like Holtz because of his size. I think he also has good skating ability too from the limited I have seen. TBH I wouldn't mind if we drafted Raymond though.

My preference would be for Holtz however.

Thread: Hawks Fans Do You Do This Trade On Draft Day

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>No way do you trade a number 7 pick for a 14 and 21 pick. It would be more like a number 7 for a 14, 21 and 2nd or 3rd round pick. Top 10 picks are highly coveted especially in this draft.</div></div>

I totally agree, and the shape we are in and the draft pool in the top 10 we should definitely be able to select a top winger who can help is down the track.

Thread: Mange through the Injuries

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhatNowDiscussion</b></div><div>Hawks should draft Askarov. Definitely not in need of another dman and hawks have some solid prospects at the wing position. Hagel is looking like a top 9 player, Teply looking like a middle six winger, not to mention the Hawks have a couple prospects over in Russia who are looking pretty good too.</div></div>

I would be so angry if we drafted askarov. We definitely need a top offensive prospect. the 2 you mentioned as you say are top 9 potentially. the others in Russia are no guarantee and this has a really good draft class for the type of winger we need. Holtz IMO should be our target if on the board for our pick providing we don't win the lottery.

Thread: Blockbuster with CGY

I would prefer Caggs over Bennett. and I don't think Kylington and a late 1st is enough for Saad. Then theres the 3rd, I see no value for the hawks.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 10 at 1:54

Thread: Reinhart for Barzal

I really don't think that is enough overpay for barzal because thats what it will take. Cozens is good sure but Wahlstrom is also good and barzal is worth more than reinhart.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 7 at 7:39

Thread: One move only Leafs

Nice lines and a hard trade to take as Murphy has been so good but you raise a good point about him potentially being the odd one out with the best value.

We will also likely be getting a winger who may or may not be ready for NHL in the form of a top 10 pick. Hopefully a guy with size like Holtz. Which would give us great options on the offence.

I would like to see us try and obtain a top LHD somehow. Any ideas based off this ACGM?

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 7 at 7:26

Thread: Champions Once Again

Arizona won't take that and I don't think we need to do that for Keller either. If we are moving Saad it would be for a 1st in this years draft and prospect though I think we keep him because of his two-way game

Thread: Moves

I don't think we getting perfetti and as much as I appreciate his skill I think we need a bigger winger like holtz.

Don't worry about Smith, just keep Subban or bring up Lankinen/Delia.

Fortin and McCoshin can stay in Rockford or AHL trade.

I don't think TOR does the Nylander trade and Im not too disappointed by that as Nylander has looked good lately and with a little more time could develop although I completely understand the Kap situation which I would also be okay with.

Maatta makes sense if De Haan doesn't return.
