Thread: Just let the kids develop Part 1

I’m fine with this. I agree we should keep Strome and DeBrincat together, both play better on the same line. I don’t love Koekkoek in the lineup, I still think he’s a 7th D. I’d take my chances with Carlsson and Seabs on the 3rd pairing. Really hoping the surgeries helped Seabs and he gets some speed back.

Thread: Sabres Cup Run 2021

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>So by your logic: Kane gets top ten pick and A level prospect
Then same sentence pick 8 and a top ten NHL prospect (100% considered A, if he isn’t who is) in cozens wouldn’t cut it...
gotcha.
Not saying the OP was close, but imo cozens and 8 get Kane fairly easily if offered.</div></div>

did you miss “minimum”? Cozens isn’t an A prospect, especially since the Hawks took Dach over him (among other teams). It wouldn’t cut it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>I dont think at this stage of the game and especially with the cap staying flat that you would get anything close to 2 top 10 picks.
With that said. This package ain't it.
And the real solution is that the hawks aren't going to trade kane</div></div>

Patrick Kane would get a top 10 pick and an A level prospect minimum. He’s an above PPG player with 3 cups and plenty left in the tank. Cozens and Buffalo’s 1st wouldn’t even cut it...

Thread: VAN fans

Regardless of Demko and Juolevi, trading a top 10 pick is not worth getting rid of Seabrook if we are bringing back and equally bad contract.

Thread: Trading 8 with Ristolainen

Hawks wouldn’t bite on that. We would ask for a forward prospect coming back, not a defensemen on a steep contract.

Thread: Nylanders a double edged sword

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div>I think Nylander is much better than Debrincat. Can't see Cat scoring 40 again but could see Nylander doing it as soon as next year. Cats also smaller and doesn't drive play as well as Willy. Also both are better fits on their current teams as Debrincat likes to shoot the puck a lot so would be a tough fit with either Matthews or JT</div></div>

Your recency bias is off the charts. DeBrincat is only 22 so to suggest he can’t score like he did when we was 21 is ludicrous. Willy Nylander very well might be the better player now or in the long run but you wouldn’t have been saying this last year when Nylander was struggling and DeBrincat was scoring 40 goals.

Lehkonen is nowhere close to Saad nor is chicago in a predicament to shed salary quickly. It would take much more to acquire Saad.

Thread: Finding McDavids Guentzel

I think Saad would be great next to McDavid. Great 200 foot game and he can finish. Hawks would probably take this deal too if the 2020 1st rounder is in play. You could probably have the extension for less AAV

Thread: Big Anahiem Trade

I don’t think the Hawks are in the business to trade lottery picks. Lindholm is decent but will require a raise and will slowly decline. Hawks don’t need to make this move.

Thread: My playoff lines against EDM

I’m fine with those forward lines but Koekkoek has no business seeing the ice in my opinion. He’ll get eaten up by EDM’s speed and take too many penalties. I’d much rather take my chances with Mitchell and Boqvist playing. Now if De Haan wasn’t ready then Koekkoek would be in the lineup but I just don’t think he should be out there.

Don’t be so sure about that. I’m not saying the Hawks have any business being in the playoffs but it would be foolish to discredit Kane, Toews, and Keith in the playoffs. Crawford can easily get hot and win 3 out 5. It will be a good series

No necessary in your scenario with $10M in cap space, this is a deal that helps the Rangers only

De Haan is injury prone but he’s not a cap dump like Brendan Smith. No chance the Hawks take that deal to help out the Rangers.

Agreed Arty wouldn’t cost this much but I do think he’d be a solid pickup for cheap. Can score some goals if he’s playing with quality players

Who in their right mind would trade a top 4 D, 2nd line two way forward, and a top 10 pick (Or Dach) for a $10M Marner? No one. He’s a great player but no chance.

I’ll answer for them: no, not a chance. Georgiev is not worth a top 10 draft pick in a deep draft.

Thread: Full Offseason Option 1

Don’t think we can get a 2nd for Maatta. Either way, I do think those are the guys out the door. I don’t think all 3 of Boqvist, Mitchell, and Beaudin will be in the lineup over Seabrook. Too much inexperience back there.

Thread: Blockbuster with Winnipeg

I doubt the Jets make that deal. Either way, that would be a sick top 9 crew. Personally I’d go Kubalik-Toews-Kane, Cat-Strome-Kap, Saad-Dach-Shaw. Of course there will be a line blender but this would be optimal for defense and scoring.

The Hawks wouldn’t give up Murphy just to shed Smith’s contract. If there’s a CBO option, clearing Seabrook’s $6.8M would be enough
