Trade makes sense for the Hawks. No reason not to do it.

That doesn't mean you sell it for next to nothing. The trade just doesn't make sense when you can clearly get a lot more value

Thread: Opposite side of BUF trade I just saw

Dach will never be on the same level as Eichel? Is that really a question?
Adding Eichel for these pieces makes complete sense for the Hawks. All they need is to find a top pairing defenseman and they become a playoff team. Its either make big moves now or prepare for mediocrity for many years to come. The hawks don't have any superstars in the pipeline and constantly 8-15 wont get you one either. When Toews and Kane aren't useful anymore the hawks are will be stuck in mediocrity.

Thread: Small moves

Taking on a 6M contract in this flat cap climate has to be worth A LOT more than 9 OA vs 11OA in a poorly scouted and unknown draft. The Hawks would be VERY dumb to make this trade. Carpenter is a meaningless contract to the hawks, they can just bury him for almost no cap hit if they wanted.

Why on earth would the Hawks make this trade?

Thread: Idk what this is

Hawks should accept this trade unless they have plans to add a big FA in the offseason which they probably shouldn't.

I love all the clueless people on this website having to eat their words.

Thread: Fold the Franchise

The Blackhawks have an abundance of 3rd line players already. (Gaudette, Suter, Kurashev, Borgstrom, Nylander, Hinostroza-ufa , Hagel)
They would not give up Kubalik for more.

Chicago is giving up VERY little for a top pairing defenseman. They would 100% accept this trade.

Hawks would look at that. I'm not sure they'd give up back to back 1st rounders though.

None of these trades are fair value. Buffalo wins every deal here by a significant amount.

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Riley Stillman (3 Years / $1,350,000 AAV)

idk how any one can say this isn't an overpay. Stillman has proved nothing and has very little NHL experience. He deserved a 1-2 year deal at 750k.

Has he looked okay in his VERY short stint so far in Chicago? Sure. Does that mean you pay him 2x what he's worth? Absolutely not.

Thread: Canucks after the draft

Hawks would probably make this trade without VAN retaining. Subban for Eriksson and 2021 1st. For VAN the 1st would probably have to be top 2 overall protected.

Forum: Trade Machine ProposalsApr 14 at 9:51

Thread: Eriksson trade

The Central Registry "rejection" does not make sense here. The system look to be broken currently.

Anyways, how much is Van willing to pay to rid themselves of the Eriksson contract moving forward?

Thread: (DET/WSH) - Mantha for Pánik, Vrána, 2021 1st, 2022 2nd

Mantha is the better player in this deal and makes WASH a better team right now. Vrana is a good player as well. Panik was a camp dump. I'm only struggling to understand why both a 1st and 2nd got included. Seems like one or the other for a fair deal. Not both.

Thread: (CHI/SJS/VGK) - Janmark for DeSimone for picks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>San Jose Sharks:

Traded away a player that should have no trade value and who you might as well place on waivers.

Got a 5th round pick for retaining 562K in salary when the Leafs got a 5th round pick for retaining 1.1 million on Lehner.

A win for San Jose.

Chicago Blackhawks:

Janmark is underated and Chicago's return is not as good compared to what New York or Detroit got at the time for Zuccarello or Nyquist.

The picks going to Chicago can't upgrade based on any conditions.

Now, you're probably thinking Janmark is not like Zucc or Nyquist, which is true.

However, centres are more important than wingers because they make plays, take faceoffs and can score points too, among other reasons.

Championship teams are more often built around their centres than around their wingers.

Chicago also spends a 5th round pick unnecessarily and retain over a million in salary.

A loss for Chicago.

Vegas Golden Knights:

Janmark's performance and production will take off, now that he's on a better team.

An underrated player who can play either on the wing or at centre, he can also play top six minutes and produce points at a good rate.

Vegas gets a 5th round pick on top.

And Janmark is brought in at a cap hit of only 562K and it only cost a 2nd and 3rd.

Wow!

Big win for Vegas!

In Vegas we trust!

I voted for the Vegas Golden Knights.</div></div>

This is an incredibly uneducated and uninformed analysis.
Any pick for a few hundred k in cap retention is a good deal.
Janmark is nothing more than a bottom 6 winger. He is not comparable at all to Zuc. Getting a 2nd and 3rd for a bottom 6 forward should be a win in anyone's book.
Janmark will not sniff Vegas' top 6. A 2nd, 3rd, and worse 5th is an overpay for what Janmark will contribute. Every Hawks fan was hoping to possibly get a 2nd but likely a 3rd for him.

Thread: (PHI/MTL) - Gustafsson for 2022 7th round pick

People that think this is such a steal for MON haven't watched Gus play. Even during his 60 point season I was BEGGING Bowman to trade him for a 2nd round pick.
He is the worst defenseman on his side of the red line in the league. When he single handedly loses you playoff games you will understand.

Forum: NHL TradesApr 12 at 2:26

Thread: (CHI/COL) - Söderberg for Dickinson, Rolston

Seems like a trade Bowman made for Soderberg. Lets him play meaningful games in possibly his last year in the league. Picks up a recent draft pick that will end up a role AHLer most likely. Dickinson probably just a contract throw in.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr 9 at 3:23

Thread: Zadarov must have heard us

Seems like a lot for the Leafs to pay for Hall.
I can't see Hall costing a 1st, two 3rds and a roster player. At least not with his season this year and the current rental market.

Overall I like the deals they just seem a bit rich for the buyers. Boston would more than likely only give a 2nd for Janmark and Kampf.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>Defenseman take longer to develop. I like what we have in Beaudin. He could be a number 1 if he keeps progressing.</div></div>

Beaudin does not have the skill to be a top pairing defenseman. Don't get me wrong, I like him a lot, but he just doesn't have to ceiling for top pair in the NHL. He will probably be a good 2nd pairing guy though for most of his career.

Trade wise this is an obvious win for Vancouver.
However organizationally its a win for both teams. I think Vegas could have possibly gotten more in return though.

What are you trying to get at here? That almost 2.5 years after this deal was signed that Vegas was supposed to know Robin Lehner would be available for a cheap price?

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Patrick Marleau (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>yes but he doesn't really play hockey anymore. He just stands there on the ice.

You clearly have not watched him play. He has 0 speed. He looked awful for the penguins. Slow, unable to follow the play, out of it, like the CTE has caught up to him with the deer in the head lights look.

why should anyone be excited to see a guy who clearly can't play anymore break a record?
I mean at this point, SJS are saying, well we need a feel good story because the team isn't gonna be any good?
That's the only message I get here. He sucks.

to not watch games but have "opinions"</div></div>

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.
Most true hockey fans can recognize that is exciting to see a player break a long standing record.
I'm sorry someone pissed in your cheerios.
