Thread: Saad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Do you want this current edition of Subban even for 6m on your team ? His value is closer to 6m....2m a year for three years.
The Saad trade makes no sense at all for the Leafs. Johnsson and Saad are about equal on the ice. Johnsson has more term and this post has the Leafs giving a first rounder. If anything the Hawks would be adding the pick.</div></div>

No the Hawks wouldn't be adding a pick and retaining that salary. The Hawks would be sellers here and sellers don't throw picks back the other way just because Leafs fans overvalue all of their players. Maybe I can understand if this is a mid season trade but IMO the Hawks don't make a deal like this until the TDL where there is a Buyers market and prices go up.

Thread: Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Hawks should be working on an extension for Lehner. He has said over and over again he loves Chicago and the guy wears his heart on this sleeve so highly doubt he is BSing when he says that. However, if we trade him at the deadline, whether he likes it here or not, he will demand a lot more.

De Haan has now had 5 shoulder surgeries, he's not someone we can count on returning and even if he does, there's a good chance he injures it again. Beaudin is not ready, not a chance he comes up next year. Gus hands down is playing better then Boqvist as of now....that will change in time but as of now Gus is the better player.

Colorado is another team that would love Saad. In fact, basically every playoff team would benefit with Saad which is why alone he's worth a 1st and then some. If Hartman and E Kane got the return they did, it is easily conceivable that Saad would demand a 1st and 3rd on his own for a team that is looking like strong contenders for the next 2 years.</div></div>

Gus is the better player which is all the more reason to trade him. Hawks need to tank for this rebuild. Fire Bowman and Colliton and get a GM with balls enough to make the rebuilding moves needed.
