Thread: Chicago 18-19 Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>For Carolina trade, move the picks out of there and add just a 2018 1st round pick from Nashville to Carolina and it's a good deal.

Edmonton deal won't happen and isn't good either side. Plus you don't sign a RFA to trade him, they would give the RFA rights prior to the season.

Where is Jokiharju? That is another $925K committed and you need another guy on the bench, 21 players is rare to go with, generally 22 or 23.</div></div>

I didn’t even think of putting in the Nashville Pick. Thanks for that.

As for the Edmonton deal I think it is plenty fair and I think it works out for both teams. Hawks get a much needed Top 4 D Man who is signed long term.

The only reason I signed Duclair was to show what type of contract he would be in line for.

And I do not think Jokiharju makes the roster next season. He may come up due to injuries and such but I don’t see him breaking camp.

I just went with the starting lines and the one extra defensemen as an example of what they could look like. The 22nd player would probably be a revolving door with a couple AHL players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>I think we know why you're not GM. AZ isn't giving up any asset to take on Seabrook's abysmal contract. Nuge&gt;Arty.</div></div>

Arizona getting what could end up being a high 2nd round pick for a Defenseman that has been hurt all year? I don’t think they will care much about taking on that contract if it means getting some nice draft pick capital.

As for the RNH for AA trade, that was made as a way for Edmonton to save a little bit of cap space. Edmonton will be paying $31M + for 4 players (McDavid, Draisaitl, Lucic &amp; Russell). They probably would want to clear a little bit and saving $1.5M+ while only downgrading slightly at 3rd Line avenger isn’t but atrocious for them. The third round pick is just an additional way for having Chicago take on that extra money. Sorry that I have not pleased you with my way of thinking.
