This guys an absolute clown. Marleau is still a capable bottom 6 forward on several teams. Someone will look to trade for him at the deadline just like this past year.

Time is running out Stan
So what's the TL;DR on this argument? From the brief parts i read it looks like HatterTParty is an angry fan who hates Bowman but is incapable of rational thought and conversation. Exo looks to be defending Stan, not sure why, and saying Tallon didn't win three cups, which i agree with.
Stan has been trash the last 4 years. Most of his signings are too high. He is probably 50-50 on trades but the ones in which he has lost, HE HAS F****** LOST. Bad. Like bad bad.
He doesn't know when the right time to make a move is. He is HORRIBLE at managing the cap despite how people thinks he's some cap genius. He fired Q (you can have your opinions on whether that was right or not. I certainly have mine) only to bring in a nobody with nearly zero experience at any level who is proving to be quite incompetent.

Agree on that. his last 2-3 games haven;t been as stellar as pretty much every game before that this year.
It is possible the contract and deadline situation is beginning to get to him at this time of the year. I wish the Hawks would pony up and sign him to a long term deal. I think that the best option organizationally moving forward. Crow only has 2-3 years left and hasn't been what he was before all the concussions, and they don't have any true A or B+ prospects in the system at goalie.

The Canes haven't seen a truly good goaltender since Ward's first 2 years in the league. Anyone that comes in and does a good job for a short period is seen as a great goalie until they aren't.
The league knows how good Lehner is and every front office that is questioning their goaltending is looking into acquiring him. The Canes are one of those teams.

This is VERY wrong. There was not a lack of interest in Lehner last offseason. The Isles didn't resign him but that doesn't mean there weren't 10 others team trying to. He chose to come to Chicago and has said that more than once. Lehner will not sign for less than market value which will be closer to $7M.

What should have been
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Maybe I'm just pleasantly surprised with Zack Smith. I was thinking the world was ending when we got him. I like his physical presence...although I would 100% agree with you that Carpy is a huge plus for Bowman. 3 years $1M per is awesome. I also get what you're saying about Joki. I can't defend that trade and wont try. Kahun…he's fine. There are subtle things that make me even more ok with the trade. Look at what Defensive Dmen are getting these days in trade value. Kahun has $2.85M MAX performance bonuses this year. He's already hit a number of the smaller ones. I'm ok with that trade.</div></div>
I definitely don't have anything bad to say about Smith. He knows his role and plays to it. He's a solid guy for your lineup if you have him at $1M.
I'd love to see a Maatta trade at the deadline. The Hawks need the cap room for next year and if they can get a 2nd for him I'd be very happy. Same as Smith, I don't have anything bad to say about Maatta, he's been pretty much what I expected. He's a fine #5 guy. This is strictly a cap issue. He's overpaid for what he brings to the Hawks and clogs up the system moving forward.

What should have been
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>So...I'm not sure I 100% agree with that. Smith > AA. It's hard to argue with a historically bad PK last year to the 6th best in the NHL. Smith has been a HUGE part of that. His cap hit is lower and AA's been injured this year. With DeHaan's injury...The Hawks have needed Maatta in a HUGE way and he's produced. Kahun isn't a difference maker to the Hawks. Obviously Joki would have been a welcome addition to the back end...so maybe the answer is yes by default for that move alone, but I don't mind the other two moves at all.</div></div>
Okay, nobody will ever convince me that Zach Smith is a better NHL player than Artem Anisimov. I jsut had to get that out there before I try to explain myself.
Smith is the 5th forward for PK on the Hawks. Its Carpenter, Kampf, Toews, Saad, then a rather decent fall in ice time to Smith. Anisimov was also 5th. Your fifth forward does not make you go from 31st to 6th. It's likely due to a schematic change from coaching and Ryan Carpenter who has been EVERYTHING the Hawks hoped he would be. To add to this Anisimov is a FAR superior 5-on-5 player than Smith is. Anisimov would also not be a center on this team which would open him up to more production.
With Joki over Maatta you would put Gus back on his natural side and would run Koekkoek/Seeler as the 6th man the same as what is occurring today. Is Joki that much better than Maatta RIGHT NOW? That can be debated for sure. They bring different elements but Joki will certainly be better in the future and is cost controlled still.
I get your point on Kahun. He doesn't stand out. Isn't much of a special teams player. However, his 5-on-5 production this year and last year is some of the best in the league in terms of pts/60 min. He is sound defensively, works his ass off, and provides exactly what you look for in a #9 forward. And the biggest point is he's undeniably a better player for the Hawks lineup than Nylander.

Sikura is just like those other player that I mentioned but not as good...WPG can't play them all....so its a waste of a trade</div></div>
So what you're saying is you wouldn't pay a 2nd and 4th in 2 and 3 drafts from now, to add depth, upgrade your 12th forward and 4/5th D-man both of which are under team control for at least 2 more seasons beyond this one? Is that right?

That's funny, because both of those players are in the lineup. I also never said he was better than them.
But I would almost guarantee he's better than Haskins, Shore, Borque, and Shaw.

While I agree with this statement there are other aspects that show his defensive play. I'm sure there are going to be some people on here that berate me for using "an old useless stat" but he has been top 2 on his team in +/- every year hes been in the OHL. He has improved each year in this department and is a +14 through 10 games this year. On top of that his ice time has gone up each year and he is playing against other teams top lines. He is still fairly young too, having an August birthday.
I'm not out here saying this kids all the real deal but he has shown improvements year over year. He is one of the few defenseman in the OHL that can and is willing to play both sides of the puck. Not to mention he's a BIG boy. He is something the Blackhawks have NONE of.

2019 Offseason Re-do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I think we're 99.9% saying the same thing. I thought it was juniors because A.) he was drafted, but also B.) the AHL is an NHL affiliate in which the player can be brought up or down. Example being Cal Foote. (link below) He only spent 6 games on an NHL roster in his career, but he lost a year of eligibility last year with the Syracuse Crunch last year despite being 19 for most of the year. I actually think the CBA states an exact date...August 15th comes to mind. I'd have to go check the CBA. But if you're 18 or 19 as of August 15th...I believe.
<a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/players/cal-foote">https://www.capfriendly.com/players/cal-foote</a></div></div>
So Cal Foote's contract didn't slide because he turned 20 before January 1st. If his birthday was after Jan 1st it would have slid.
I'm not sure of CHL birthdate cutoffs for when a player is considered an overager (I'd guess the CBA follows the CHL dates here), but i"m guessing that is why Cal was allowed to play in the AHL and not sent back to juniors.
EDIT: After further research, a player is considered an overager in the CHL if he turns 20 before Dec 31st of that playing season. So the CBA rules do follow CHL rules in regards to eligibility for CHL players to play in the AHL and contract slides for non-CHL players playing in the AHL.
Hope this makes sense. Sometimes this stuff is hard to articulate via text. ESPECIALLY LTIR rules. That stuff is complicated as hell.

Players contracts slide when they play in the AHL at 18 & 19 years old. In theory Boqvist could have played last year and this year entirely in the AHL and still have 3 years remaining on his ELC entering the 2020-21 season. The same thing would have applied to Byram except he was drafted out the CHL so he is not allowed to play in the AHL until he is 20 (aged out of juniors), similar to Dach.
