Thread: Which deal is worse Werenski vs Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>Columbus did it to stop yet another star player from leaving town.

Chicago did it to distract the public from other things that are going on surrounding the franchise.



One's a necessity while the other is outright mischief.</div></div>

There's a difference between "chicago did it" and the "GM did it"....Chicago didn't do anything, Bowman did it as GM and President. The players have come out and said they knew nothing about it besides one player named "John doe" who said all the players knew....that is BS. Now did Bowman as GM know something and not handle it correctly or Coach Q, likely Bowman maybe Coach Q, but the players all knowing about it and nobody stepped forward years ago besides one player is a fishy statement by "John Doe".

Paid too many assets and too much cap hit. Don't like how Bowman has panicked or alternatively let Toews and or Kane dictate how to run the team. We should have stayed the course and focused on the young kids, prospects and draft picks. That Jones contract is not going to look good as he enters into his 30s....he plays a punishing game and that puts miles on a player.

As for the rest, Johnson is an upgrade to Kampf but age and cap hit don't justify.

Hinostroza walking to sign the enforcer from the oilers doesn't make sense either, speed is more important and forchecking and Hino has that in spades.

Letting a proven good player in Suter go was a mistake for the cap hit he was asking for. Should have moved Strome and kept Suter who is way more versatile

Betting on Borgstrom, Nylander and or Gaudette, none have proven much in the NHL yet, is risky. One should emerge, two if we are lucky, but giving up Hino wasn't needed.

Big overpayment for Jones both in trade value and in cap hit.

Letting Suter, Hinostoza and Kampf walk was stupid. Betting on Borgstrom, Nylander, and Guadette to replace those guys is risky given what they have/have not proven so far in the NHL. Toronto is going to love Kampf defensively and transitioning the zone.

McCabe was a good pickup.

Tyler Johnson to replace Kampf makes sense if you exclude the cap hit difference and age; take that into consideration and another bad move.

Moving Zadarov was the right thing to do.

Khaira was a dumb move but Hawks wanted a enforcer and big body so kind of get it. Much rather have Hinostroza instead.

Suter should have been kept and Strome traded.
