Thread: Hawks
Seeing as Kyle Davidson plans on making some meaningful transactions this summer, I think that makes it a lot more likely that we see guys like Slaggert, Kaiser, and maybe even Nazar and Korchinski, seeing significant time in the AHL. Whatever happens with them, I don't think any of them will have a roster spot handed to them. There will likely be competition. This definitely addresses some of that, but there might be even more, honestly. Probably not any super high profile FA's, but guys that will give young players a run for their money. I like the idea of Marchessault, and Chatfield a lot. I wouldn't mind bringing Domi back to CHI, too.

Regardless, good job! I'm excited for what they are going to do this summer, now, but I'm also a little worried that KD is feeling too much pressure way too soon. But maybe some of it is just lip service, and honestly, CHI wouldn't have been quite as bad this year if it wasn't for the mountain of injuries they had. We'll see, though. Gonna be an interesting summer and season.

Thread: Dream boat
Vlasic is getting at least three times that amount, and more than likely with term. He will be CHI's top pairing LD for many years to come, unless of course Korch or another prospect takes some HUGE steps and passes him up, which I don't see happening. Even then, he will be a very solid 2nd pairing guy. Also, Samuelsson is looking like a bad-ish contract for BUF. Not that he is awful or anything, but they might have prematurely signed him for too much money and term.

I could definitely see scenarios where they move on from Allan, Athanasiou, and/or most of our picks, as I could for most players on CHI's current roster, but not to add an LD. That would be a pointless move.

Reinhart will more than likely get more money this summer, and probably isn't looking to join a rebuild at this point in his career. I highly doubt Kane will be back in CHI. I don't mind the Montour signing, though. I think he would be an interesting partner for Korchinski.

The Jones trade to CHI might be one of the worst trades in the last 10 years.
Gave up a 6OA, a 12OA to get mediocre Jones and a 32OA.
This what happens when mediocre players get their name built up.
That 9.5 mil contract is unmovable.
Guy is probably the most beneficial player to hide his poor play behind Bob the wall at the peak of his career.</div></div>

Honestly, I would rather have Jones than Risto and a 2nd. It doesn't matter that we overpaid in the Jones trade or that his cap hit is $1 or 2M higher than it should be, it matters what he is as a player and what he is worth to CHI. CHI is not dumping or selling low on Jones and we are content to have him finish his contract in CHI. He already looks WAYYY better just having a consistently competent D partner in Vlasic, let alone how he will look in a couple years when CHI's rebuild starts coming together and we start winning again. He is a bonafide 1RD, and there is no doubt about that. Not to mention, you could remove Jones from the deal and I still probably wouldn't take Risto's contract on for a 2nd round pick. I don't trust that contract to age well, at all, and it's already looking not good for Risto and there are plenty of PHI fans who seem to want him off their team.
