Thread: Looking ahead
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Durzi may or may not be worth that much, but I doubt CHI is interested in a right shot offensive defenseman that is already an NHL level roster player when we already have Jones, Murphy, Zaitsev, Mitchell (who will probably be gone soon), and Regula. Also, Two 2nd round picks is not enough to dump Petersen. Maybe AFTER his $4M bonus is paid, but including a 2023 draft pick leads me to believe this is before bonuses are paid.</div></div>

It would be nice to have a dedicate puck mover that isnt Caleb Jones. Seth is a slightly above average puck mover but more of a minutes eater defender. Murphy is all defense, Regula still needs another year in the A, and I agree that the Mitchell experiment is likely over. Zaitsev is pretty awful and is more helpful as dead cap with a buyout. By the time the Hawks are ready to be competitive in 5ish years, 1 vet will be north of 30 (Jones) and the other will most likely be gone or start to decline due to age (Murphy), Durzi would be entering his late 20s which is still his prime. We can sign X free agent when the time to compete come but its better to have a guy build himself up over the years from within our own system imo. But I appreciate the feedback, I will tinker more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>If Hawks sign Compher, the F group looks pretty spot on.

Can't see the Hawks taking on Peterson from LA without getting a pick back along with him. Just not how Davidson operates. And if Hawks did take a player instead of a pick, they'd want a F, not a D. And the return would be F/C, not a 4th. That trade isn't good for Hawks as proposed.

Hawks have Nolan Allen, Ethan DelMastro and Wyatt Kaiser turning pro next season. Those 3 are the left side in Rockford next year. No spot for Vlasic. He'll be in Chicago on 2nd or 3rd pair. Regula may be in Chicago as well on 3rd pair. He is no longer waiver exempt. Galvas and Roos still are waiver exempt and both can play on right side, so at least one of them probably start the year in Rockford. And while I don't agree w/ it, I also think Hawks sign Caleb Jones to another 1 year deal.</div></div>

With the Petersen trade, I wasnt sure how high Kings fan were on him and Im personally a fan of him so I wasnt quite sure where to gauge his value. I originally had it as you said Durzi + Petersen for FC.

With Vlasic, hes been great but dont want to rush him along. Phillips has shown hes ready, and galvas should be given a shot as well. I would not like Jones back, and I dont think they will sign him since getting both Jones' was a Bowman move and Davidson seems intent on tearing down what Bowman has done.

Thread: Toews and Mccabe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Drop McCabe for sure. He doesn't matter. Toews doesn't cost a 1st though. He's a 3C now and at 5.25 million he's just not worth his contract at this stage of his career. A 2nd is the reported ask for him by Friedman. Kerfoot may have to go due to cap reasons and despite the popular belief on this site, he definitely has value and could be flipped so a 2nd plus whatever Kerfoot gets you is plenty. You guys seem to think Lafferty is worth a 2nd and if he is, Kerfoot is worth a 1st. Kerfoot is worth a 2nd</div></div>

No he wouldnt. Lafferty is 1/3 the cost, is younger (1 year but still), and has 1.5 more years on his contract all while having similar production to Kerfoot this year. Both Lafferty and Kerfoot are worth a third max based on their production and usefulness, except Kerfoot is significantly overpaid driving his value down.
