Thread: Culmination of moves

Fast can do that, and can actually play hockey at the other end of the rink too.

He'd be a legitimate bottom-pairing option by this time next season in my honest opinion. He's been doing great so far in limited minutes at the AHL level, and the organizational expectation is that his workload will increase from about this point onward until end of the season/playoffs. He was phenomenal at last year's WJC's and in the Memorial Cup, it won't take him long to transition to the professional level in either the AHL or NHL.

Thread: Resign Gus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roviet_Sussia</b></div><div>I'd argue his defensive game will flourish under Colliton even more so than it has already, but you're right; it won't be a marked improvement.

Paying him $5m is definitely rich for the Hawks considering what they have coming up soon. This roster banks on a Seabrook trade, and it doesn't account for Crawford either. I'd say everything points to a walk come July 1st, 2020 (as of right now).</div></div>

I don't think Seabs is going anywhere. His clause is strong, he loves it in Chicago, and it isn't his fault Stan gave him that contract. He deserves to retire a Hawk, in my opinion, but honestly, no one is going to take him without a sweetener none of us want to give up. It took losing Teuvo to shed ONE YEAR of Bickell's contract. Imagine what it would take for someone to swallow Seabs' contract whole, assuming he'd actually be willing to waive (which he won't).

I see them resigning Crow. I have no idea what to expect term and dollars wise, and I think Lankinen's performance at IIHF clouds the waters a lot. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a one year with Crow, Deals splits time with him pretty evenly (unless one or the other ****s the bed), and then after 50 leaves town Deals slides in, with Lankinen behind him? Who knows... I guess we'll see.
