Thread: Hippity Hoppity your draft picks are now my property

I don't know if the Hawks eat three years of salary on Murphy (into the high-paid Bedard era) and leave themselves only one retention slot for next year (when those slots could be used for Taylor Hall, Athanasiou, and whatever other vets they acquire in the summer at an offer that can't be refused).

Thread: Chicago 2024-25

Not to pile on, but I don't think Vlasic comes in at that cost and term - 6 years at 5 or 6 per year seems more likely to me

Thread: Smart Deadline

Deals make sense if all other teams have "Make Leafs Better" as top priority.

Thread: Big-time cap space

IFor the Hawks, it's only money, really; and so long as Danny is okay with it, why not... Not sure I would be so hung up on the LA second when I'm getting back two firsts plus a RHD lottery ticket in Akey. Agree on Raddysh; who cares?

Thread: Playoffs

I know Minten had a good training camp, but it's a bit much to give him a 10-year top-six career on a cup contender.

Thread: Workshopping a ridiculous idea

Hard to see why Toronto would go along with this. Nylander is by far the most valuable piece in this structure, and getting rid of Murray doesn't balance that out. Maybe give TML Raddysh and let them keep 28 and then give Vancouver 35 along with Nylander and the massive cap relief. Also don't get why you bother with such modest retention on Boeser and Garland; BH don't need it.

Thread: If Muzzin never returns

I guess balance is key except for the Hawks trade. Don't you have any more 5th - 7th rounders you can add to the pot?

Thread: TDL makin it work

Could have had Kaut for nothing on waivers, so hard to see why he is a valuable commodity in this deal.

This is the worst DeBrincat deal yet.

Thread: Deadline moves Strome return

Hawks are rebuilding. Given that, why would they want Eakin or (my God!) 3 years of Tyler Johnson?

Thread: Keep on rebuilding

That's the worst Murphy trade I've ever seen on this site.

Thread: next year roster projection

Maatta just had his 26th birthday, so a buyout now costs around $700k more per year.

Thread: Other side of Boeser Trade

Nice that Canucks fans deign to consider this, but there is no universe in which I could consider it being appealing to the Hawks.

Read the notes - one year until kids are ready (and could be any aging D with a bit left in the tank)

Thread: Lets help the Leafs and Les Habs

Not necessarily. LTIR impact is complicated, but using the LTIR exemption during the summer limits your flexibility in adding to your roster at the trade line. Hawks went through this with Hossa; google Stan Bowman on Hossa LTIR. If LTIR has no impact at all year to year, why would the Hawks have given up resources to trade the Hossa contract to Arizona. (To give just one example.)

Thread: Hawks should take Byram

Where does Keith play in Florida - Matheson and Yandle are the top 2 LHD there. Can't see sitting one of those two for DK, and can't see acquiring DK to have him play 3rd pair minutes. To make that work, maybe you need to get Matheson in return and put the necessary pieces around it.

RFA offer-sheet comp will go up this year, so that $4.3 million should only get a 2nd round pick (2018 limit was $4.1)
