Thread: miller at the tdl

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>CHI declines.</div></div>

Garak, not sure why you'd decline it? I know Dickinson is nothing special and would fall into one of the 300 4th liners the Hawks have but the contract isn't bad, and we pick up a 3rd in '24. That's why I'd be interested. I'm not sure we'd get much more for that small a salary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffSkinnerFan53</b></div><div>Yeah that’s true. My thought was that $6 mil in cap space could help bring ‘em up to the floor.</div></div>

They're already above the floor, unless they trade both Toews and Kane. I think a better trade partner could be a team on the brink of the playoffs. They might be willing to give you the picks if they think Karlsson can get them over the proverbial hump.

Thread: What about Bob

Would love to see the Hawks get Lundell, but I doubt Florida would give him up and Bob might just be good enough to steal some games that would hurt our chances to get Bedard, so I doubt it happens. Nice thought though.

Thread: Vegas

Unless this is Kane's request to go to Vegas and Davidson's hands are tied, I really don't think the Hawks take this offer. We'd be stuck with Karlsson for the next 5 years and there's no way he's around when the rebuild is done. Roy and Hauge are also not long-term guys in the rebuild. If you swapped out the players for one or two more high draft choices, coming back to Chicago, it might work.

Thread: Possibility

Hawks won't want to give up assets for Karlsson. Also, his contract is too long and it would be tough to flip him at the deadline. Doesn't help the rebuild.

Thread: next year

No chance Chicago gives up any picks let alone two for Foegele. They already have an abundance of cheaper forwards like him in the system.

Thread: Tkachuk

I get what you're saying but if you're right and let's say the Hawks dump Toews and Kane at the deadline, and eat half of their salary, they'd still be cap compliant (at this point) and would probably take on an expiring bad contract from a team trying to make the playoffs who's up against the cap and needs to dump salary to acquire player X who will put them over the top. At that point Davidson would have the leverage and would probably want picks (or top prospects) coming to Chicago as well.

Thread: Trades and poo

I think that the Hawks even with Murphy will be awful. They'll be looking for picks and could trade Murphy for a hall at the trade deadline (or sooner). Holl and Kerfoot are really contract dumps and I don't see the Hawks giving up any picks for those.

If you can pull off the Dallas trade, from a Chicago perspective, I would be okay with the trade with the Hawks.

Thread: Beauvilier for Kylington

Chicago has a lot of defensemen like Wilde in their pipeline, so I think that they would turn it down. With the rebuild/teardown I also don't think they give up a 4th in a deep draft in 2023.

Thread: Do not take seriously

I know that it will never happen but that's not a bad trade for both teams. NJ gets the best player in the game and Edmonton gets a rising star, a dependable depth center, a decent goalie, some picks, possibly another talented defenseman and some cap space (depending on what they would sign Zacha for). Again, will probably never happen but if Gretzky can be traded (iroincally by the same team), then anyone can be traded.

Thread: capitals next szn

I think that the Hawks might be willing to do it if this if the draft choice is dropped. I don't see the Hawks giving up assets unless they get more in return.

Thread: Realistic Debrincat Trade Part II

Folks, again, this is what's going around the internet right now (and if it's from the internet, it must be true). The angst about this fake trade is laughable. This is an internet board, none of us is an NHL GM and 99% of us (including myself) don't know anything about these picks or prospects.

Thread: Realistic Debrincat Trade Part II

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Well, that is quite an overpay and not at all reasonable or realistic</div></div>

I agree it's an overpayment and probably not realistic, but the trades of a low #1, a B or C prospect and a cap dump aren't realistic either. My guess is that Debrincat signs a long-term deal with the Hawks to be part of the future core and all this trade talk is moot.

If you read what I posted, I only chose the Devils because they have a good talent pool. This could be any team, that has high first rounders and a good talent pool.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MellowK</b></div><div>You forgot to add the Hughes bros, Bratt and Hischier.</div></div>

Again guys, this is not what I expect to happen, this is the rumor going around from sources like Friedman about what it will take to get Debrincat. Do I see it happening, probably not. I know it's a huge overpayment but that's what Davidson wants right now, especially, after what he got back for Hagel. Again, he doesn't need to trade Debrincat, it's just that a deal like this would probably be the only one he would consider.

Thread: Johnny Hockey Wow

While I respect, you're go for it effort here, I think that signing Gaudreau would really be a cap issue especially in 23-24 where there are only 10 players signed and only $28MM in cap space (to fill out a 22 man roster it averages only $2.3MM per player). Tying up 43% of your cap space on 4 players (Gaudreau, Hughes, Hamilton and Hischier), is a recipe for disaster.

Thread: Maybe

Not saying Varlamov is not worth a 2nd round pick, but the Hawks are rebuilding, and I can't see them losing a high pick for someone who won't be there when the rebuilding is done. I think a better trade partner for Varlamov could be Edmonton, but you may have to retain some salary due to Edmonton's cap situation.

Thread: Dubas Gambles on Campbell and Trades Nylander for Konecny

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Yeah, I should definitely have added a near-NHL prospect there. The 2024 picks are too distant; Chicago should get an immediate benefit.</div></div>

Don't think the Hawks would give up a most likely high 3rd to only move up a few places for the 2nd. If you make that 7th round pick a 4th, maybe. It's an obvious cap dump of Mrazek, so the Hawks have some leverage (we've been on the other end for years, so it's nice to have a little leverage).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres_Insider</b></div><div>I don’t want to trade Krebs/Quinn/Peterka for DeBrincat. Ik it won’t work with them not in the trade</div></div>

From the report by Elliott Friedman as to what the Hawks want, this wouldn't be enough. Have to add the #9 & #1. 6 plus a first next year in order to incentivize Davidson to make the trade is my guess.

Take away that draft choice that goes back to Toronto for Mrazek and Chicago accepts.

That Chicago trade doesn't work for Chicago. Not really adding much value to a rebuilding team that needs assets.

Thread: Next year

I'm a Hawks fan and I can't see Edmonton adding any big-ticket players given that McDavid Draisaitl and Nurse currently account for 37% of Edmonton's cap. Adding a Kane (who will command north of $6MM at least with any extension)) would push them near 50% of the cap for 4 players. That isn't a good way to build your team.

Thread: LMFAO

What's the rule regarding the cap on opening night? Doesn't Weber have to be on the roster and then day #2 they can put him on LTIR? I think they still need to get rid of some other contracts if that's the case, but maybe I'm wrong.
