Thread: It's not THAT hard to keep Panarin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyplayer1</b></div><div><i>All of this and you still get to trade the rights to Panik, Kempny, and Pokka. And you can definitely resign Pokka for under $1,000,000

I've been saying it for a long time, Panarin will get 5.5-6.5 AAV. He'd be smart to take a fair deal and not reach for too much.</i></div></div>

Yep. You're talking at least a few decent draft picks for their rights, or cheap bottom 6 players.

Bringing Panarin back is very doable, and the roster could look pretty similar to the current roster, except with another year of experience for the young guys.

In my opinion, the people saying it's impossible to ice a good team with a Panarin extension are just rooting against the Hawks/Bowman.

Thread: It's not THAT hard to keep Panarin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><i>Just keep in mind that bonuses are not applied to this team yet. It's not possible to know whether Panarin will get his schedule B bonus of $1.725 until the end of the season. HOWEVER, Campbell has already played 10 games so he has $500k that needs to be applied to next year. Panarin has played 10 games so he has $200k applied to next year &amp; I'm willing to bet a lot of money that he'll be a top 6 forward on the Hawks this year...so that's (if I'm remembering correctly) $825k. There are a few others like Rosi gets $200k for......20 games.....I think, but let's just round to $2M. So if you take out Dahlstrom, this team could work.

One more thing, whether we believe the news or not...Panarin's looking for a Saad Deal @ $6M. That's what he's asking for so I imagine it won't be higher than that...If reports are true.</i></div></div>

Good point on the bonuses, that's one factor I didn't consider. If you run into those bonus issues, then you would need to move Kruger.

I intentionally went over the reported 6M to further prove how it's possible even if you sign Panarin for more.

Thread: Extreme line balancing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><i>I see the description is extreme balancing and I think you did a pretty good job of doing that. Is this the best for the Hawks? I personally think that top line isn't nearly strong enough. Panik has only played 30 games for the Hawks and was with the Marlies last year. This is expecting a lot from him. I do like your 2nd line though. Hino can really benefit.</i></div></div>

I don't think it's what's best for the Hawks, I just wanted to see how this would look. I'd like to see them start the season with:
Schmaltz-Toews-Panik
Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
Desi-Kruger-Hossa
Hinostroza-McNeill-Kero

I know that first line is a little risky, but I'd like to see it stick together for the first ten games, Hossa can always move back if Panik takes a total dump.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BombSquad</b></div><div><i>Well done in achieving your goal. This is line balancing to the extreme and very interesting to see. Also a perfect demonstration of why NHL teams don't partake in extreme line balancing lol</i></div></div>

Haha ya, I'd like to see this for a period just to say we did it. :laugh

Thread: Starting Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><i><strong>I think there's a pretty large factor missing from the analysis. Toews gets put on the opposing teams best line.</strong> One of the best aspects of his game is taking on the other team's #1 center and doing a great job at it. I hear ya that Hossa is declining. Maybe he's best suited next to Kruger. That worked pretty well in the playoffs although that was only 1 series. Why not make three lines good? Panarin/Toews, Kane/Anisimov, Kruger/Hossa.

Definitely agree with the trades though. If Kempny is the plan going forward no reason to have Gus in the AHL. Get something for him.</i></div></div>

Also, how does changing what you consider the number 1 line adjust how the opposition matches up? It doesn't.

Teams already match their top shut-down unit on the Kane line, so in theory, that's already the top line. The only way to change outcomes through line adjustments is to actually adjust line combinations, not just argue semantics.

Thread: Re-configuring the lines and cheap ELC guys
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div><i>Seeing that they won't be able to make many moves. I think you HAVE to separate those three for a few reasons. If Panarin want's big money then he needs to prove he can be a player that makes others better rather than getting the benefit of playing with the Hart winner. It would also make it harder to reach that bonus again. I'd make a few small tweaks, but it probably won't matter because Q rolls lines soo much. Schmaltz hasn't said whether or not he's going back to ND. So if he doesn't sign then swap him with Vinny and put Motte on the top line. Motte played great @ worlds and blocked a lot of shots. Q loves that. I'd swap Kempny and Gus, but if they didn't work out I'd swap them right back. I'm hoping Shaw could get more than a 5th even with Bickell's contract, but maybe not.</i></div></div>

Thanks for looking at this and not immediately crapping all over it. It's not ideal to go this route, but something similar may be necessary if this team wants to roll four lines.
I included Schmaltz because I'd hope the opportunity to play with Kane would be enough to lure him from college. If not, then the possibility you suggest could also work. Like you said, Q will probably love Motte, but I didn't want to put him on the 4th line.
I put Gus with Seabrook because of all the #fancystats analysis BlackhawksBreakdown has done about that pairing.
I'd really hope for more than a 5th too, but hopefully a 5th is the worst case scenario.

What's a posy shot? And it's 'butt' not 'but'.

Also, I wasn't taking a shot at Edmonton fans. Klefbom can be interchanged with any D-man who can fill a top-4 role, and has a cost controlled AAV. I have no clue why you'd take offense to me including him, you should be happy you have a talented young D-man fans from other franchises want.
