<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>He's a rental, a UFA....that is crazy how in favor that trade is for MTL given that</div></div>

Yea I would only take this if there is an extension in place, my main point is that Danault is better for the Hawks long term as a 3rd line defensive center with very good offensive upside, versus Strome who has a higher offensive ceiling, but won't get top six minutes ahead of Dach or Toews.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>An extension for Danault wasn't implied though

😳

Y'all here undervalue certain players to silly extents

DStrome is just the tall version of Clayton Keller

Trading that for a few months of Danault is nuts</div></div>

I assumed an extension was implied. Not doing this as a rental.

Strome isn't gonna get us a young top six winger - Danault has been a Selke contender recently and may just be having a down year. I think it's a great time to buy low on a guy who can anchor a defensive 3rd line for years to come. The Hawks have been missing that Bolland-esque presence for years, and Danault is perfect for that going forward.

Thread: Top 10 Blackhawks this year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PreemoForGM</b></div><div>Mitchell is living up to the hype. Boqvist needs to get one in soon. Not a lot of confidence from him.

Kubalik and Strome having rough starts. Debrincat needs to be scoring because his playoff performance didn’t exactly scream lock me in for the future. Suter Kurashev are welcome suprised that hopefully give these rough starts some friendly competition to go harder.</div></div>

I think Kubalik is very underrated here. 4 points in 6 games, top 3 in CF% on the team. Ideally he scores more at 5v5, but that may come if he gets more ice time. Should be top 5 on this list.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Fair enough, though I wouldn’t classify gustafsson and especially smith as “meh”. What if we send Logan Stanley, Simon lundmark, or kovacevic instead of appleton?

Logan Stanley and kovacevic could especially develop into similar players to Murphy</div></div>

If we're trading Murphy, I would want a prospect who can become as good as Murphy. Stanley, Lundmark, and Kovacevic may play a similar game to Murphy, but it is very unlikely that they ever become top 4 guys, at least going off of what I have read from scouts and reporters. Gustafsson is interesting, but I think his ceiling is 3rd line center, which isn't a position of need and isn't enough for Murphy. I would do it for Heinola or Samberg, but I highly doubt the Jets want that, so I don't think the trade works between the two teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>What more do you want Murphy to do to be considered a top par Dman? I know its a short season so far, but 5 points in 6 games. All 5v5. Mostly gets Dzone starts. Is a +3. We all know he's good defensively and plays on the PK. All on a pretty bad team.</div></div>

He's not the best skater, and while many are not entirely his fault, he is involved in a number of defensive breakdowns in the defensive zone. Also, I think a lot of his success has come because he's playing on such a terrible team, making his play look better than it truly is. I have been more of a Murphy believer than a lot of the Hawks fans on this site for the past couple years, and I think he is a very solid #3 guy, but not quite top pair.

Thread: All in

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>I put him on the top pair cause of size. Pionk and arguably demelo are both ahead of him in depth chart terms.

Also he’s a high end shutdown guy but that’s it. He’s no top pair d-man.

However, I can replace appleton with a different propecg such as Nathan smith? Or maybe if the jets are confident they can resign Lowry, David gustafsson? That’s about all he’s worth though tbh. Don’t really have the currency to pay 2 2nds like I originally planned so I tried to make it up with a prospect.</div></div>

Murphy is not a top pair d-man, but he is a very good shutdown second pair guy, and he is very important to the young (and usually porous) Hawks defense. The Hawks become a worse team by doing that trade, and the second does not have a high enough chance of giving us a player of Murphy's caliber for this to be worth it, even with the other (very meh) prospects you offered.

Thread: Kane to Boston Scenario 1

1. The Toews conspiracy theory is completely untrue, the article quoted "April Foolington" as a source

2. If you are sending 8 assets for 2, the trade is never going to go through. The Bruins do not have the trade capital necessary to get Kane, unless you are willing to part with McAvoy or Pastrnak (which you obviously aren't, so it is not going to happen)

This is nowhere close. It would take a 1st+ just to get rid of Lucic, and Pelletier is the only remotely good prospect in the deal. Hawks decline fast.

Thread: Am I crazy forget it I know I am

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>I don’t disagree, but it’s important to remember that Burakovsky and graves are young and in their prime. Kane can still give three to five great years, but graves can be a #1 LHD and Burakovsky could be a mainstay of the top 6. The 1st and 3rd just a realistic representation of Sakic never trading too much draft capital. This trade just helps Segway to a new era.</div></div>

Graves is nowhere near a #1LHD, at best he is a 2nd pair guy. I am fine with trading Kane at this point (it's definitely not going to happen but getting assets for him would be nice), but this ain't it.

Gibson isn't going anywhere, and that is a baaaad return for Kane. He is still a top 5 winger in the league and would get a much more significant return if we trade him now.
