Thread: Opening Day Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan03</b></div><div>I’d have shaw on first line, jokiharju cracks the lineup, and if I was bowman lose some cap to grab somone at deadline if we are in the playoffs, I’m thinking Murphy cuz jokiharju should be there anyway</div></div>

So you're saying trade Murphy? He might be the team's best RH defenseman so you better get a really, really good return on that. Short of a trade or some other move, I'm not believing Jokiharju makes the team out of camp. Colliton is not a big fan in the first place and which of the 6 d-men right now do you send to the press box (and nope, it isn't going to be Seabrook).

I'm not against a Saad-Toews-Shaw first line but I think Caggiula has more speed than Shaw and that's why I put him on the 1st-line wing.

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks Post-DeHaan Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I'd be willing to be a lot that if the defence stays as is, Jokiharju gets sent down to the AHL for more development. There's no way Chicago is going to consistently sit Seabrook and his salary. That'll make him completely untradeable.

Oh and it'll cost you more than that and you'll get less return to dump Anisimov.</div></div>

1) I seriously think the Blackhawks should contemplate starting the season with 7 d-men. Seabrook is untradeable now because of A) his cap hit/term and B) his no-move clause where he could reject any trade deal. So, why not rotate him with Jokiharju to start the season and figure it out from there?

2) You're right on the Ansimov deal so I revised it. Columbus gets all of its 2020 and 2021 picks they've lost in the 2019 deadline moves back and they get a at-worst below average 3rd-line center for two years to a place where FAs aren't exactly flocking to go.

3) I'm beginning to warm to the idea of Corey Perry on a 1-year deal. If he can still skate (and I think he can, it's his hands that are breaking down more) I like the idea of having him with the Errie combo of Strome/DeBrincat on the 2nd-line. I don't love the idea of not adding a 1st-line winger to this roster but I just think you have to prepare for Strome and DeBrincat to have monster seasons and then have at least $15-16 million of AAV for multi-year extension offers that could hopefully be announced by NY Day.

Thread: Give me feedback on this Seabrook trade and offseason
Two issues with this rebuild version...

1) I'm of the opinion that you don't think you need to trade Seabrook. It'll take a 1st and probably a 2nd to unload his contract and why do that to your future? If Seabrook starts out the season as a 3rd-line D player or even a 7th D-man on the roster and struggles early, why couldn't the Hawks just decide to buy him out? That seems like a reasonable solution for everybody AND what's to say Seabrook doesn't pull a Phil Kessel and refuse any trade anyway? Why set yourself up for such a PR disaster at that point?

2) Bowman says he wants to keep Perlini so I'd add him to the forwards for next year. Plus I'm not in the camp that believes the Hawks will try to rush Dach to NHL roster by the season opener. If he has to start in Rockford, why not?
