Thread: Absolutely committing to it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Okposo_Lover</b></div><div>I was gonna dump both in the same deal but decided not to. Maybe just do Wahlstrom + Lee + Pageau + 18OVR (or so) for like some random depth forward and call it a day</div></div>

I was so disappointed when the Hawks took Boqvist instead of Wahlstrom at #8 overall in the '18 draft. Probably explains why I never worked in an NHL front office!

Or just keep Wahlstrom. Lee, JGP and the 1st for F/C?

Tampa GM JBB loves Tanner J. He's not getting traded for two 3rd's.

Thread: TAM VCR

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>I guess my thought is that running Perbix, Raddysh, Crozier, De Haan isn't cutting it.</div></div>

Exactly. It's not. But I really don't see Hronek as a player who makes the blue line better defensively. Tampa has plenty of offense from their blue line. They need another Cernak type player. Perbix was supposed to be that guy but his hockey IQ seems really low. Makes too many poor decisions. Hronek's new contract would be problematic as well. Likely winds up costing more than what Cirelli does, which is cap space Tampa doesn't have.

Thread: Off season

You actually have another $4m to work with. The cap is going up to $87.7m for next season.

That's a bold move in goal! Lankinen and a rookie.

Stamkos isn't a center these days. He's a LW pretty exclusively. Still takes some faceoffs, but that's about it.

Hawks probably accept. Glass is worth a shot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DanielSan92</b></div><div>It is saying a lot when his claim is that they want to ice a competitive and improved team next year... But would have no interest in a guy better than all but 4 of their forwards?

Hawks do want to get better. But there are far better options than Fabbri. He's a career 30 point per season player w/ persistent injury issues. Hawks will be looking for more impactful additions than Fabbri. UFA's like Marchessault, Bertuzzi, Tarasenko for the forward group. I'd actually be shocked if any team gave up a pick to acquire Fabbri.

Hawks accept. Hawks might also make that JGP deal if Utah isn't interested.

Thread: 2425

The west is still pretty stacked. Not sure this group can jump 6 other teams to get in the playoffs. Three virtual rookies on the blue line?

Hawks pass. McGinn hasn't been a useful player since his days in Carolina. Ducks have plenty of cap space. Just buy him out.

And Stamkos isn't moving his family to LA for that contract.

Takes a 2nd attached to Mikheyev to move him to Chicago.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DanielSan92</b></div><div>Fabbri would be 5th in production for Chicago this season lol.</div></div>

Which isn't saying a whole lot. After Bedard and Kurashev, the offense of the Hawks was pathetic. And Fabbri wouldn't have the same level of production in Chicago as he did in Detroit because he'd be playing w/ less talented line mates.

Thread: New GM New Lineup

Yes, this team could compete for a playoff spot.

A 4th to dump Hamonic is fair value. But can't see the Hawks being interested. They want to get better next year. Hamonic doesn't help with that.

Thread: TAM VCR

Hey Elliotte, can you still find tapes for that VCR? Tampa Bay probably declines. Scoring goals isn't the problem. It's keeping the puck out of their own net. Adding another offensive D man at the expense of maybe their best defensive forward seems like a step in the wrong direction. Plus Hronek's new contract probably eats up cap space the Bolts need to spend elsewhere.

Thread: Hyena Pack

Hawks might have an interest in Knight if the price is reasonable. Pick #34 in the draft is not reasonable.

Thread: Stay the plan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrianCampbell</b></div><div>If they can lock him up that long and still believe he can be the player they thought when they drafted him. Worse comes to worse you bury him in AHL and hes a 1.5m cap hit. Seems pretty low risk if hes willing to sign that long.</div></div>

Might not matter this season or next. But once Bedard, Korchinski and now Nazar are on their 2nd contracts and the Hawks are really trying to win, that $1.5m might come in handy. Honestly, don't see the team or the player doing it.

Sold! If Stammer agreed to that number, Hawks probably pay it on a one or two year deal. Got plenty of cap space and Stammer is a big upgrade over Hall on Bedard's LW.

Forum: Armchair-GM21 hours ago

Thread: Compete

Stammer isn't leaving Tampa for $6m. Tampa can probably pay him at least $5.5m per.

Hawks might consider that. Although I'm not sure the Hawks are looking to add more mid round picks. Value is about right though.

Once again, Hawks aren't paying anything for Timmins. Time to try a different team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I don't love AA. Everytime I watch him it just feels like all he gives us in individual efforts.

I'd rather him just not be here but at that contract he has to be</div></div>

Next season is a contract year for him. He's auditioning for a new deal (with someone else - not the Hawks!) Watch. He'll be better. But your assessment of him is pretty accurate.

Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I'd be cool trying nazar at C and just signing a UFA winger instead of JGP; ideally someone with a little more size to play on that line with Reichel and Nazar</div></div>

Or just slide AA up to 2RW and add another bottom 6 forward.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: Stay the plan

No chance the Hawks give Reichel a 6 year deal. 2x$2.5m is probably as good as it gets for Lucas. I'd be fine taking a flyer on Wahlstrom for free. Wouldn't give up anything for him though. Those other two trades are easy no's for the Hawks. Get what your trying to do, but taking on $14m in cap hit, and more than $10m for 3 more years, costs qay more than a 3rd and a couple of longshot RD prospects.

Thread: Zegras and Move Jack To Wing

Another LD is probably the last thing the Hawks would trade Kurashev for. And isn't it against the Geneva Convention or some UN rule to trade one Swiss player for another? Anyway, easy no from the Hawks.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: Offseason

Yeah, this all seems feasible. This roster should meet the "being better" goal KD has. Feel like the Hawks are going to give Nazar a shot at being a C. So if they acquire JGP, could definitely see Nazar spending the season in Rockford playing C.

Forum: Armchair-GM23 hours ago

Thread: Wildcard Team

Hawks decline. They don't need any more bottom 6 forwards. And a 4th for Ylonen is pretty optimistic anyway. Also can't see Anaheim trading away a former 1st round pick after just one pro season. And as you stated, Montreal definitely adds in that deal.
