<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I don't think JP has much of any value right now. Not sure they can give him away for free as some teams might view him as a cap dump at this point. Schaefer MAYBE for McCabe retained but not sure the Hawks couldn't get a better offer.

Hard agree. I've gone to bat for Schaefer several times here. Would be pretty happy if we acquired him. Gimme a 3rd to offset the Lafferty JP swap and I'll definitely accept. Unfortunately McCabe probably doesnt want to go there

Yeah, I think Connor Murphy is just worth more to us than he will be to another team, and retaining for 3 years isnt realistic, so we will probably just end up keeping him and are better off trading McCabe

yeah and you have him here for 2M so its gonna be in the first round range. its not just about the salary we're retaining, but tying up a retention slot that we can't use for 2 years as well

Seems about right for the retention. Although the scenario here would probably be a bit more enticing than him going to EDM, you'd still have to wonder if he would waive to a Canadian team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Hawks decline. The 2023 1st and Schaffer are probably enough for McCabe half retained IF Hawks are willing to retain for the extra 2 seasons. But Domi half retained costs your 2023 2nd. Puli has little value. He's overpaid for what he brings, and his $3m qualifying offer next year essentially makes him a pending UFA. Hawks will take him to make your cap work, but he has no value in this trade.</div></div>
I was gonna say, I really like Schaefer. If you're insisting we get another something of value back for the extra two years of retention, sure I get it. But unless we're planning to go all in on FA if we draft Bedard, we're gonna need help to hit the cap floor and retaining 2 mil on McCabe is a good start. The retention spot past year won't be the biggest deal in the world. We aren't going to be dealing with retaining huge amounts of money after this year because Kane and Toews will be gone so chances are we aren't going to need all 3 retention spots for a while.

2023 Draft Hopefuls Plus McAllister

But I set this up for the 23-24 season to illustrate possible draft picks and only decided to add him last minute for the hell of it.</div></div>
For sure. We can certainly offer him minutes, especially after the figured deadline subtractions, along with the financial flexibility that would come along with allowing him to burn a year off the entry contract and earn a pay day sooner. I would imagine there will be plenty of teams calling after him. There are a couple other guys who I would target like Riese Gaber, but McAllister is the youngest of the bunch and therefore to me the most attractive.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJSGM</b></div><div>haven't heard of McAllister until now but his stats are crazy. Have there been any nhl rumors about him?</div></div>
Since he's unaffiliated, you probably won't hear anything until the NCAA season starts to wrap up. Since WMU is ranked, they figure to make the tournament, so it could be late March to early April before he's done playing, and then I'd give it another week until he signs. Somewhat unlikely he plays anywhere in the NHL this year unless WMU falls out of contention
EDIT: I didn't realize the season goes until mid april this year. It would be favorable for him to sign an entry level contract this season and burn a year, so it could be likely he plays this year

2023 Draft Hopefuls Plus McAllister
I think there are a lot of guys who can push to the late first round that I would still be excited about. If we're going off pure record at the moment, Tampa's pick would be at 22. There are for sure a few guys who could fall to there with the rising talent. Brindley, Stramel both played well at the tournament. Yager's stock has been falling a bit relative to his peers. Whitelaw has played well on a bad Phantoms team. Matthew Wood is another college option. If you're looking at defensemen in the second round, I think Strbak might have raised his stock a bit too much, but potentially one of him or Reinbacher could be there. I think it's exciting to see this many draft eligible players succeeding at this level, especially with the means to trade up into another first round pick

I could see the Kings because the West is relatively weak and they have a chance to make a run to the finals, and then anything could happen at that point. I think the Sabres are strong enough to make a run, especially if Tage continues scoring like a mad man. Doubt a WC team goes for a big splash unless hes controllable though. Think Debrincat could've been a good fit for ya if we had kept him, still could be if Ottawa is open to trading him. Hammer out a long term deal in the offseason

Misa more so than Celebrini but I would agree. If we're hanging around the bottom for a few years, we're gonna be in a good place once Korchinski and Del Mastro figure it out

Thread:
Hawks in 2 seasons Not bad
Overall I agree with the point of this post, even if my prospect preferences are slightly different. To your point about the late round pick this year, I would like to target a forward for sure. A guy who will probably end up going late first or early second that I like is Whitelaw, but im slightly biased because ive seen him play at Youngstown a bit and he's committed to the Badgers for next year. Then you target Celebrini or Eiserman in 2024 and you're lookin pretty nice. If Kane ends up staying, the forward lines in 3 years could look like
Reichel-Fantilli/Bedard-Kane
FA-Celebrini-Nazar(don't think he stays at center)
Whitelaw-Ludwinski-Raddysh(really would like him to stay and I think he would be happy to)
Kurashev-Entwistle-FA
Obviously a lot has to go right for this, but if we stay bad for another year and land a big name, plus Nazar works his way back from his injury well, we don't necessarily need to go big game hunting for an FA, although we'd have the cap for it. I don't think Allan stays on his offhand, at least not if he's going to be up on the 1st line. I would expect the defensive pairings to look a little something like
EDM-Jones
Korchinski-Murphy
Allan/Vlasic/Rinzel/Kaiser
Murphy is replaceable with another defensive minded individual that we could go fishing for if we have the prospect capital to give up
