<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>It's hard to predict the future, but are you upset with the return he got for Connolley? Stillman's pretty good imo. I'm trying to be fair to other team's prospects. I'm sure you've seen Steeves play a bunch at UND...he's pretty decent too.</div></div>

I'm against taking on bad money unless it's a one year deal. I'd rather use it in FA to sign and flip someone or be a salary broker at next years TDL. I like Stillman he's fine, but I don't see him being a top four guy and don't like the trade we made. We also threw in Carlsson who's looked better since the trade

Thread: back end
Mrazek is a overpaid backup with a cap hit for several years; that's negative value to the Hawks and subtracts from any perceived value you are positioning to the Hawks.

Dermott is not a useful asset to the Hawks. Their LHD prospect/player pool is deep with guys that are younger, cheaper, better, and or have higher ceilings then Dermott. Galvas, Caleb Jones, Stillmany, Kalynuk, Kaiser, Beaudin, Vlasic to name a few. All of them are 2nd and 3rd line guys on the left side so while Dermott may have value to other organizations, he has little to none with the Hawks and taking on additive cap in an area of strength would probably be negative value to them.

So basically you've proposed a late 1st round pick in exchange for the Hawks taking on two cap dumps, plus Hagel, and plus Flowers at 1/2 retained. I don't think it needs to be said, but clearly Chicago would not entertain this as such.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>I think CHI should absolutely take that trade. That said, I'm not sure if I'm hearing people's opinions or it's from actual reports, but is MAF saying he won't accept a trade anywhere and wants to finish the season out?</div></div>

MAF hasn't said much with regards to a trade. What he has said is that family is very important to him. The assumption is that wherever he goes (Staying in CHI is an option too) that he wants an extension with a full NMC. He's not moving his family around.

As for the trade. It really doesn't work for CHI. CHI already has a pathway to that 2nd round pick through the Keith conditions. EDM is also making CHI eat Kassian's 3 year contract. I honestly don't even think CHI would do this trade if MAF wasn't even included. It's just not that much for taking on $8M in cap Dumps.
