Thread: offseason to be competitive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tyler_A10</b></div><div>How in the world are we the ones giving up a prospect a young roster player and a first round pick. I know JT miller but that Loui Eriksson contract is not getting taken on if were the ones dumping pieces. Lindholm deal is fine, I like the idea of getting him too, but Jesus, that Vancouver trade is so bad for Chicago and completely against the direction of the organization. I'd like to hear your justification because even without Erikssons contract it seems like to much to give up for JT Miller</div></div>

JT Miller is really good. He plays center or wing, Powerplay and penalty kill. And hes a ppg scorer. Those guys don't grow on trees. I value taking erikson on as a 2nd round pick. Miller is also only 28 and he has more than 1 year left on his deal so he's not a rental

Thread: Trying the Flyers Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>S8118</b></div><div>Given where Chicago is and is going, I don't think Murphy is a defenseman Chicago can give up. He plays top minutes every night, and we honestly don't have anyone to replace him at this point. We're loaded with young, offensively minded d-men, none who can shut down yet. Kieth, who is still over-all our best guy on the backend can't defend like he used to, Murphy can, and he's still young enough, without a high cap hit, to be apart of our "rebuild."

Not say Murphy isn't tradable, we just don't need cap space badly, and there are players who'd be smart to move well before Murphy. Again, we can't replace what he does. He doesn't make mistakes. de Haan and Zadorov sometimes do.</div></div>

100% agree

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Strategy question for all Hawks fans reading this. Do you waive DeHaan today? Maybe your team didn't make a splash. Maybe you're a team that could still use a Dman. If you're Stan do you put out feelers if there will be a taker of DeHaan's contract? Players are at a premium right now if you're a playoff team. Besides last night (bad timing I'll admit) DeHaan has been a solid Dman for the Hawks. Do you try to get that $4.5M off the books today vs worry about the expansion draft?

Just curious to hear thoughts. There are obvious Cons to this too. That can't be a good move in the locker room if you just waive someone without knowing there's a taker for him and then simply put him back in the line up.</div></div>

Probably not. We're right in the thick of the playoff race, Stan showed at the deadline that they're going to give the team the chance to sneak in (we could have sold more), and JC isn't going to risk upsetting the locker room when he's 2 points out of a playoff spot. Plus there's not really a point. We don't need the cap space and don't care about protecting him in expansion.
