Thread: Good defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Really? I mean they get rid of half of Jones' albatross contract, as well as 3 first round picks, one that is potentially going to be top10 one if VAN doesn't get a grip.

It's a long time to pay such retention but man they could make out like bandits here.</div></div>

Hes overpaid by 1-2 million but not really an albatross since the hawks have basically no money on the books coming up and cap is (supposed) to increase a sizable amount over the next 5 years making the Jones contract way more palatable. Not to mention Jones is a minutes eater, top pairing dman, and for 4.75 mil for long term that costs the 3 firsts alone, probably more. Murphy is also solid and getting him for 2.2 for multiple years will cost you first+. Rathbone is an ahler and Pearson is another overpaid 3rd liner, Poolman is a pure cap dump and Van paid a second to get rid of dickinson so itd probably cost even more to get rid of him considering he has an extra year. This deal would never happen since retaining a large chunk for 8 years is unheard of but this is just a terrible deal for the Hawks.

Thread: Hawks fans HELP
In terms of central rankings, they will finish last or second to last to Arizona and in terms of rankings across the board, the same is true. Hawks will probably finish 32nd, 31st, or 30th place.
First PP will probably be Domi-Toews-Kane-Raddysh-S.Jones
Seems like Domi will be Kanes center and anybody playing with him gets a significant stats boost. Raddysh will get a bigger opportunity and he played well in a limited amount of games and hopefully Kurashev takes the next step as well.
Pretty much everyone will probably be worse off in terms of production since this team is weak.
70/30 split with Mrazek taking the majority of starts over Stalock depending on his health status.

Kane, Domi, S,Jones, and maybe Toews would be the only players you should pick up in fantasy.

Thread: Good FA signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>Domi and AA probably get the hawks a mid round pick each, not really crazy about it considering they could've kept a younger player in Strome and gotten more for him at the deadline. I think the Hawks best shot at getting another 1st is a cap dump or Kane trade.

If Raddysh continues to progress, I can see him garnering a return somewhat similar to Hagel. He's making league minimum this season and the next, it seems like a great opportunity for a team with little wiggle room.</div></div>

If Domi plays with Kane he nets 50 points easy, thats worth at least a second rounder maybe more if we retain. AA will probably only be a mid rounder though. Forget where I heard but apparently Hawks were offered a late rounder for Strome so not worth it and its probably better optics to let a great player like him choose his future instead. Kane should get a first for sure, I'd hope for a Giroux like return. Raddysh was a pleasant surprise could see him putting up points next year.
