Thread: Phil Rumors

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BankersBox</b></div><div>I don't see how Phil gets into the lineup..

This lineup doesn't include Guttman who should be ready. Katchouk, R. Johnson & Entwhistle probably play before Phil too.

I'm not completely opposed to having another veteran around, but I don't see Chicago being phils best option.</div></div>

Guttman is hurt and will start season on IR, Enwistle is a lost cause I have him in Rockford.

I wish they would scrap the format and go back to East V West or North America V World.

Thread: Hawks Buy Some Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>Overpaying for players on 1-2 year contracts to hit the cap floor is fine but not for an 8 year contract. Especially when Bedard is going to need a $10M+ salary in 3 years, Plus who knows what we have in Reichel, Korchinski, Moore, and Nazar. Even if they all make $5M lets say, that's $30M for 5 players. Add in $9.5M for Jones. You're at almost $40M for 6 players. Last think you want to do is start adding in Bertuzzi and Brodie.

I also don't think Hartman signs for that little.</div></div>

As for Hartman that's way more than he is currently making. I get the point about the long-term cash however with the cap ceiling increasing these mid-above avg players are going to command that type of cash.

Thread: Hawks Buy Some Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>Overpaying the likes of Bertuzzi and Brodie is a good example of spending money just to spend it, and the best possible way to ruin the rebuild before it starts. "How much money can we throw at whatever mid guys happen to be available" isn't it.</div></div>

It's not an overpay that's the going rate... Hagel just got 6.5 x 8, Troy Terry got 7 x 8, Bertuzzi will get that type of cash as well. Brodie is proabably going to command 7-8 AAV and his term will prob start at 4. Keep in mind the Hawks will have to have more salary just to reach the floor next year, the ELCs even if Berdard's bonuses kick in will not be enough to comply with the cap floor.

I love Danault and having him as a steady C for the next 4 years to help teach our young centers would be awesome! I see him as an asset to hold onto, plus we will need some contracts to get to the floor.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>So you dont understand quality then.

Leafs are trying to win a cup. What are late picks and throwaway players doing to assist in that, while trading away arguably their best forward?</div></div>

I think I understand quality seeing the Hawks win 3 Cups in 5 years, I know most Leaf fans don't know that glory but those cups came from depth and being cap-compliant.

So the draft picks back that the Leafs have 0 of and the imidate depth help and the RFA in Reichel plus the cap relief is not appealing? Seems like plenty of quality.

Thread: Another Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Than this deal is exactly what I wanted for the Leafs... They get a player that will help them now, a player close to coming into the lineup and can easily be a star... get a 1st and get 2 2nds... Chicago doesn't mortgage their rebuild and keeps Bedard happy and gradually become more competitive, it's a win-win IMO</div></div>

My thoughts exactly. There will be some Hawks fans who will hate this deal because the think Reichel is the 2nd coming of Kane but I would rather aquire Nylander sign him build the team with him as part of the Hawks core. Nylander is only 27, his Dad and Brother both played for the Hawks I think he would love playing on the right side of Bedard for the next few years.

Kane should still be on every team USA draft. I think even in 2 years he will be able to wear the C for USA.

Thread: Zegras

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>There is no questioning Zegras ‘s skill but I wonder at times if he is more concerned about YouTube clips than actually winning, kinda reminds me of Sonny Milano in that way.

As far as the Hawks players included in your proposal, I have really liked the patience the organization has shown with Reichel and based on his play at the end of the season I believe it is paying off… his future looks very bright. Del Mastro is in my opinion one the hidden gems in the Hawks prospect pool, he looks like he could be the next Seabrook. As far as balancing out the RD vs LD prospects, perhaps we could do that with the high picks you are including in this proposal.</div></div>

Those future picks if used on RD would not be NHL ready for at least another 3-4 years. Hawks are going to need fresh RD in the next 2-3 years.

Thread: Zegras

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>I don’t see either team doing this.

I think both organizations are big on their own young players and adding three high picks to go along with Reichel and Del Mastro just seems to go against the way Davidson has been operating.</div></div>

Look closer at this deal the Hawks are trying to even out the surplus of LD for RD prospects. Zegras >>> Reichel and if you can lock up for 8 for 8 that is huge.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rollie1967</b></div><div>while all 4 players are overpaid for their current play... theyre still useful players and all 4 teams involved are contending now, so giving up assets for a rebuild in a year seems pre mature.
Goodrow and Johansens contracts arent bad enough to warrant a 1st.</div></div>

Then drop the pick compensation with the player dump that the Hawks will gladly accept next summer. That is the point. All 4 of these teams are cap strapped and looking to shed bad salary to buy new FAs next summer. Send the Hawks the approriate draft capitol and they will take away your bad contract.
