Thread: Dreaming of next year cuz this year is over Lmao
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Nice job w/ the lineup. Not sure either Domi or Tanev will sign in Chicago, but positionally, you nailed the two biggest needs. Not sure Kyle is going to trade for a 6 foot tall D man or that Utah is ready to move on yet from Soderstrom. As for the draft, I'm on board w/ Demidov. And I'm a fan of Charlie Elick w/ the Tampa Bay 1st.to address RD.</div></div>

Yeah I am not sure Domi or Tanev would want to sign with us. I know Domi liked it here in Chicago. I gave the Soderstrom a shot in the dark as we are weak on RHD and if anything Rockford would benefit having him, wasnt sure if he is now in the reclamation project stage or what kind of value he actually has. I would be fine with this not happening and getting a 7th dmen if need be.

I have been reading into this upcoming draft and can't wait until there is more scouting reports out there on these later 1st round and 2nd round guys. I think there may be a chance we can trade up from that 20 range into the 12-14 range and may be able to get a better RHD prospect. Adam Jiricek seems to be a solid prospect even tho he was hurt most of the year.

That later range like you said Charlie Elick, EJ Emery, Dominik Badinka, and Adam Kleber all fit the mold of a player the blackhawks would draft.

Thread: Having Fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>For sure. Kelley and Crevier could still turn out. I don't have much hope for Krutil. And I think Rinzel is gonna take some time, but he will be a beast. But a lot of that is pretty far away. I've been doing a ton of scouting this year, and I was hoping Willander would be a sneaky good 2nd round pick. Up until all the final draft rankings came out for 2023, he was ranked in the 2nd or 3rd round by a lot of public scouts. But now he is ranked in the 1st round and it seems there is way more buzz around him.</div></div>

Yeah I have been reading about a lot of Prospects also and really like Willander for the Blackhawks. I was thinking the same either picking him with our 2nd rounder. But now I am hearing he may not even be there at 19th which blows my mind. I am figuring they draft forward heavy at least there first 3 picks. If they could add another late 1st and someone falls I could see a dmen then. Exciting time of year with such a good draft, so much cap space and draft capital.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>1) Trade Kuzy to Colorado for their 1st (Kuzy passes through Arizona for ~2M retention with the Caps and Avs each throwing in a pick/prospect in return)

2) Call up McMichael and Malenstyn to play 2C and 4LW respectively

3) Sign Fehervary, say 2 years at a 2.5M cap hit

End result is the Caps have 11M in cap room with 11F, 6D, and 2G on the roster. Plenty of room to add a 2RW and a few healthy scratches. If you think the Caps get a roster player back for Kuzy for around the same cap hit, then that player slots into 2RW and they have 3.2M for healthy scratches. Either way, the Caps don't have a desperate need to dump Mantha unless it's specifically to create room to replace him, which they've shown no indication they want to do.</div></div>

Well thought out. How do you know Avs even want Kuzy. They can probably get Monahan for cheap in free agency and than be able to add another forward or 2 to make them deeper.

Thread: Off Season Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>A vocal subset of the Caps fans on this site want to dump him, and their now ex-coach horribly mismanaged him and destroyed his confidence in the second half of the season. I haven’t seen anything that suggests the Caps management (which is still the same group that paid a huge price for him not even a year and a half ago) wants to move on from him, let alone is willing to pay to get rid of him.</div></div>

Right now the caps have 17 players signed for next season and only have 7.3 mil in cap space. So i would have to believe they need to move a contract. I get Kuzy is probably going to be moved. I would assume they would be getting a roster player back with a solid cap hit so you aren't going to gain a lot from getting rid of Kuzy.
