I agree with your comment but am even more impressed with your avatar. Any time you can add Beavis & Butthead, it's great. Well done sir.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>Rinzel and Moore probably arent going to sign</div></div>

I would agree that they'll probably go back for at least one more year, particularly since Snuggerrud said he's coming back to Minnesota. Think they need a little more refining.

Thread: Longer

Love your avatar name (big SCTV fan), but don't like the Chicago trade. For the Hawks (or anyone for that matter) to take on three years of Ryan Reaves and his 5 minute TOI every game, it's going to take a lot more than 3 5ths. Also, other than possibly Akthiamov, none of the other players coming to Chicago move the needle for me (we've been down the Kamph road before).

Thread: CBC316

Hawks decline. Beauvillier is "just a guy" and the Hawks have a ton of those already. To give up Dach (who they're hoping at a minimum could be a middle six guy) and a 3rd round pick is way to much to give up.

Thread: Blackhawks trade No 2

Hawks have no interest in Klingberg (already have Korchinski for that role as offensive defenseman) and absolutely no interest in Reaves (why did the Leafs sign this guy for 3 years?). I think given that the Leafs are going to have to try to sign Nylander, they'll need the Hawks to keep salary on Murphy for the deal to work, and just a #1 draft pick won't be enough.

Thread: Fixing this team

The Hawks have enough 4th line guys who can't score so just taking Connor Brown without some additional incentive (maybe the 2025 4th) probably won't happen. The amount of the contract and term are good, but Brown has always been "just a guy". Hawks have plenty of those.

Thread: Future

I'm hoping that by 2025-2026, with the young talent coming aboard, we are in a position to upgrade our free agent acquisitions and get "the guy" much like the like the Cup teams added Campbell and Hossa. We'll certainly have the cap space.

Thread: Lines

Not saying that your forward lineup will at some point look like that, but, it sounds like Bedard will be a center, at least on opening night. I could see Reichel sliding down to #2, TJ moving to his right wing and Raddysh moving to Bedard's #1 right wing. On defense, I would agree that either Vlasic or Phillips would be in there. I can't see Richardson going with 3 rookies in Kaiser, Vlasic and Phillips on a nightly basis, but injuries could change that.

Just curious, where did you hear that Raddysh and Katchouk were involved, and there really hasn't been much speculation about them? I know that they have denied it in the past, I'm just wondering what has changed? Thanks.

Thread: 2023-24

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Sorry, but I disagree with your assessment. If you watch Korchinski play, he has a lot of work to do on his defensive play in his own zone. The best place for him to work on that is in Seattle, playing big minutes every night. Not playing every other night and getting his butt kicked. He's not an NHL ready defensive player yet. Hawks rushed Boqvist to the NHL and he's still a bad defender. Learn from your mistakes.</div></div>

Where Korchinski really belongs is in Rockford, but given the CHL agreement that's not possible. I don't think he's ready for the NHL, but I don't think he's got anything else to prove in juniors. It's a tough call.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dunphy66</b></div><div>I'm not sure if you've seen the contracts that the Hawks are giving out, but you're wrong on this one lol.</div></div>

If you look at the contracts the Hawks gave out, yes, they overpaid to get to the floor, but all these deals are for one year. The Hawks have made the floor and Granlund has two years left. Davidson has leverage here, so like Snowhawk 18 said, they're going to want a significant package coming back to take on Granlund's contract.

Thread: SecondRoundChamps

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Sorry, but I gotta disagree. A 3rd to take a player the Hawks don't need who has a $4.5m cap hit and a $6m actual salary is not sufficient compensation. Hawks should not do that. Hawks are at the cap floor. They have enough veteran NHL players. The play for Davidson is to now hold out for high picks only in deals for bad contracts.</div></div>

You're probably right. It's Bedard Day, I'm feeling generous! :)

Thread: SecondRoundChamps

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>Eating a cap dump to get compensation doesn't really have anything to do with position. If TOR handed over real compensation (not a swap of a 3rd and 5th) CHI would probably eat Murray's cap hit. It's not like the purpose of the trade would be to get a goaltender.</div></div>

Yeah, I don't disagree with you, but I think Davidson said that to ensure that unlike last year, when the Hawks had no NHL goalie on their roster and probably needed to swap the picks in the Mrazek deal, this year they would have better leverage, since he has two goalies set for next year. So if the deal is Murray and the 3rd next year, with nothing going back, the Hawks should accept.

Hawks probably decline on Murray. Davidson has said he's not interested in adding a goalie this year.

Thread: Oilers cup champs 2024

I don't think the Hawks would be interested in Ceci. The return for the cap dump is too light, especially with Ceci having two years left on his contract, but seeing how few draft choices the Oilers have, I can see why you only added those picks, so I think that the Hawks pass.

I agree that it's probably time to move on from Mitchell but I sort of disagree that the Hawks didn't do right by him. To me he's probably a #5 or #6 defenseman who has unfortunately had injuries and has been passed by guys like Phillips, Vlasic, Kaiser, and coming soon Del Mastro, Allan, and Korchinski. Doesn't have any stand out skills (i.e. skating, passing, shooting). Seems like a good kid, but timing was the timing just didn't work out for him.

Thread: Jets 2024

I can't see the Hawks taking Wheeler, even with the retainage. What might work is the Hawks are the third team and hold some salary, but I doubt they're giving up a pick. It's more likely that they get a pick either from Winnipeg or a third team involved.

Thread: Lets get it

Gudas probably won't take a one-year deal, for that little as well. Besides, the Hawks have the poor man's version of him in Tinordi. I think you're overpaying a little for OEL, but it's not unreasonable. I think the second draft pick in the Toronto and Pittsburgh deals is a little too much. Both are cap dumps and the Hawks don't need to give up more than the first picks in those deals.

I'll give you credit for doing something different, but these contracts are totally unrealistic. Thanks for getting a smile out of me. Getting tired of the same old trades and signings, so I appreciate your creativity.

I see what you're saying. I'm not sure how much of a prospect Puustinen really is. He's 24 and small. Think the Hawks might want bigger forwards. Just not sure that PIT would do the deal on just Granlund and a 1st coming back to the Hawks.

Thread: 2023 NHL Draft With Descriptions June 8th Top 20

Not sure if I'm the Hawks if I give up #35 to move up 5 spots, maybe #51 or #55, but I really don't know. Could be quite a few trades being made. If Davidson sees someone he really likes at #14, he could take an offer like that.

Thread: Karlsson for Bouchard

The Hawks decline. Raddysh scored 20 goals on an awful team last year. Not saying he's a 40 or 50 goal scorer, but I think 20 is his floor. Foegle is a 4th liner and the Hawks have a million of those guys. The swap in picks isn't really incentive eaither. Hawks don't move up enough to make it enticing.
