Thread: Realistic 2021 Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Keith and Boqvist were awful in the playoffs and gave up more goals then any other pairing.

Right so $4.45 x 4 means at 3 years he gets less and 2 years less. I have no more then $4M at 2 years. He will get a 1 or 2 year deal and not only for the benefit of the Hawks to save cap but Kubalik will bet on himself and want to cash in big in a year or 2.

Crow rejected a first offer; not shocking. It was only $3.5M for 1 year. Hawks will counter with 2 years, Crow will counter with $4M. He's not going to get much more from any other team given his concussion history and the cost of him moving his family is greater then fans realize. He's not going to start with a new team for $500K difference.</div></div>
I was talking more analytically and per 60 stuff. Maybe Kubalik’s deal was a little much, but not by much. This is a hot take but Crow was a top 10 goalie this past season. Obviously his age and injury concerns should bring his value down a bit. I just don’t think you can really let Crow go.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Kubalik isn't getting quite that much for 2 years, I'd say $4M or maybe $4.25M. Crow won't get that either IMO, $4M is the ceiling on 2 years and if he doesn't sign, Hawks look elsewhere. Also think Mitchell gets paired with Keith and Boqvist with De Haan. Maatta will get bought out if Hawks have to retain $1M; his buyout is $680K

Minor stuff but otherwise this is probably likely unfortunately. Decent roster, probably gets a wild card but not enough to do any real damage.</div></div>
I disagree with the Kubalik thing. Looking at Evolving-Hockey’s model they have him at around 4.45X4 and I found something similar when doing my research, but he doesn’t have many comparables. Crow was offered 3.5X1 and he rejected it. He wants more money as reported by Friedman. I wouldn’t be against those defensive pairings, but Boqvist and de Haan were awful together in the playoffs.

Thread: Realistic Chicago Blackhawks team so far.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I think the value is there for the trade. With that said...at this point I'd rather keep those assets and not get a rental at all. Next year there are decent number of wingers coming on the market. I expect <a href="/users/Stan_Bowman" target="_blank">@Stan_Bowman</a> to make smaller efficient moves for future assets. Maybe Rutta goes...kunitz if a contender wants experience...ward if another teams goalie goes down. Stuff like that. Also I expect a heavy forward draft next year and they don't take as long to develop.</div></div>

Yeah I agree with you as well. I felt like I would get a 0/5 stars though if I didn’t make a move in this one. I mean our depth at forward is horrible.
