<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Much cheaper to keep Kampf as the 4C and Hayden as the wing. Lowry is not that much better then Kampf so why do this? Ben Chiarot is awful and completely unnecessary when you have Dahlstrom, Carlsson who should be getting a call up, and Koekk who's done pretty well as the 3LHD. Chiarot is a waste of money.

If we are going into next season with Caggs as the 1st liner, we're in trouble. Toews and Kane deserve a true #1 LW. I like Caggs and we stole him from the Oilers but he's not a 1st liner on any team making a run.

Anisimov will get a 2nd or 3rd rounder. After July 1st, his NTC is removed and his bonus is paid by the Hawks. His actual salary drops to $2.5M per year. That is very attractive to teams that aren't up against the cap crunch and yet need a 3C.</div></div>

Winnipeg is going to be in cap-hell and needs to unload some of those contracts. Lowry is #8 in the league in FO% with just under a thousand faceoffs. He provides relief for Toews in defensive/clutch faceoff wins when we need it and also has just under 200 hits which is nice to have in the bottom-6. Chiarot doesn't need to have Top-4 minutes at D, he can bridge the gap between Beaudin &amp; Co. and can't be any worse than Davidson or Manning. I'm willing to trade anything for Anisimov, unless you put him with Kane he doesn't provide much so regardless of his contract, I think the best draft pick we can obtain is a 3rd or 4th. As for Caggiula, he has played well on the top line with Toews and Kane, we don't need a big name to play with those two to provide production. Oh by the way, Koekkoek has been hot garbage the past few games, he is easily replaceable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>I don't see the Hawks trading Anisimov now, unless Bowman gets a deal that knocks his socks off.

Anisimov is signed for 3 more years.

If I'm Bowman I would want at least a 1st + a legitimate prospect with top 6 potential for Anisimov.

Also, Anisimov has a limited NTC so, I suspect he would waive it to go to a contender tho.

Bowman should take whatever he can get for Sharp, Bouma, Wingels, Franson, Kero and perhaps even Jurco....

I don't see why Sharp's not mentioned, he has a NMC but he would probably move it if he had an opportunity to win another cup as a bottom 6 depth player.</div></div>

I don't see AA's stock as high as you think it is. He got bumped down to the 3rd line and has only put up 4 points in his last 15 games. Now granted he was playing hurt and just got back from his injury but 19 points in 41 games is not going to garner a 1st and a top-6 prospect. Lemieux is in a bad situation in Winnipeg and is buried in their LW depth chart. A top-9 prospect with grit and size plus a 3rd is a realistic return for AA and his declining production. He would definitely waive his NTC to play for a contender since he isn't playing with Kane anymore. Also, trading that horrific contract is only going to open up more money for us to use in the off-season. As far as Sharp is concerned, I bought him out. Let him pass through waivers and if he isn't picked up then you let him go, he might get you a bag of pucks and some towels in a return but that's about it. Wingels I would keep over Bouma and i'd definitely consider re-signing him, he's been great on the bottom line.
