Thread: Deal with the Devil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I'd honestly prefer to try and extend Saad for a reasonable rate...otherwise maybe he's a cap casualty. I believe that clause kicks in July 1st 2020...after the draft...so who knows. Lots can happen in a year.</div></div>

Problem with waiting until the draft is because at that point everyone knows you are just getting rid of his salary and the return is minimal and might even cost the Hawks a prospect to get rid of Saad. By trading him now his value is much higher. As for extending Saad, that is not going to happen unless he takes a BIG pay cut. Hawks need to sign 12-17 and make a decision on a goalie and then decide if they have enough left over to pay Gus. Saad just does not fit unless you find a GM willing to take Seabrook or Keith away.

Thread: Trade 20 and 15 Sign 11 and 33
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Who knows, Hoffman if he hits the open market will get WAY MORE than he's worth, personally I wouldn't give him more than 3.5 million. Which seems absurd for a guy who just scored 70 points but really, he's playing with Barkov who is a elite talent and that is where most of the points come from. There are very few players, I'd give 4 million dollars or more to and Hoffman isn't one of them, especially at the age of 29. It'll take a few more years I think but very soon we'll see 29 year olds being forced to accept short term deals. If they are support guys, they will be getting way less money.

Watch Tyson Barrie go FA next year and get a 7 year deal that pays over 7 million and then be Shattenkirk in 2-3 years. Playing into your mid 30's is becoming such a rarity and yet still 29 year olds get big contracts every year.</div></div>

Not sure I follow your point... I think we are both in agreement that Hoffman gets an AAV prob north of 8 per after this season. My point being is that I don't think that Florida will sign that contract but what I am saying is with Saad they have 2 years of cost control and a player Q knows very well who can play a top 6 role, PP and PK. The trade I proposed is within a reasonable doubt.

Thread: Lee - Pavs - Perry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>The modified NTC is a factor and I honestly forgot he had one. I'd probably disagree with you that right now is the time when we can get the most. With 1 year left on his deal, Stan can make a few other choices to increase return. Stan could eat cap and still plan for the long term. Teams at the TDL are more willing to accept players on a 1 year deal because that allows the acquiring team a better ability to plan ahead while and still going for it.</div></div>

But trading him away at the deadline would mean the Hawks have tossed up the white flag... wouldn't you agree dealing him now and using the cash to help bring in FA like Lee and or Pavs would be bennificial and at the same time create space for DeBrincat's extention next year?
