Thread: Kane trade to NYR because Im antagonist

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shakabakes</b></div><div>Toews is toast. Not worth giving up major assets for. Especially if a 3rd team needs to be involved to take on more Cap. We'll just focus on Kane.</div></div>

Agree to disagree. Long COVID sucks and yeah, he had a serious issue healing. No one's saying he didn't. Also, No one's saying he's going to replace Zibanejad. 59% at the dot and still place an amazing shutdown center. He'd literally be the best #3C in the NHL. Sooo many people forget that. AND YES, cup winning teams do trade away 1st round picks for Conn Smythe leadership that can play up and down the line up. The Center position is the most important in hockey. It's actually extremely ironic that the two positions the rangers need are a playmaking winger and a 200' veteran center. Imagine controlling possession against Stamkos...the NYR might have actually won that series.

Thread: Kane trade to NYR because Im antagonist

It feels like the Rangers should go for Both Toews and Kane with a 3rd party taking another 50% it's really not a lot of money. Heck, you could have two different teams each eating 50%.

Well let's put it this way. Its certainly not Boqvist or Peeke. Maybe they can get there one day, but neither is there today. Also, Murph's style is a great compliment to Werenski.

Thread: Hagel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>Then that is really bad coaching and player evaluation</div></div>

Well Hagel played the Hawks #1LW before he was traded. TRad hasn't ever shown that he can do that at the NHL level. He certainly wasn't going to the chance with TBL either. At least Hagels shown at some point that he's done it. Was it a fluke? I don't think so, but it was certainly at lot trade away.

Thread: Hello CHI heard youre looking for a LHD

The Hawks are not looking for a LD. Nor a RD to be honest.

Thread: Hagel

It's all about opportunities given. Now that Palat is gone Hagel should get a chance to prove himself. Is the trade a lot? Yeah it's a ton to CHI. Hagel is the faster and harder working player vs Raddysh, but Raddysh will be given an opportunity in CHI that was NEVER going to be given to him in TBL.

Del Mastro is a big-time sleeper within the Hawks system. I can't see them trading him away unless it's an overpay...which this isn't.

Canes definitely pass. Morrow is stud and exactly the type of defenseman you can build around.

Thread: Hawk Fan is this a fit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I'll disagree to that last point you made. On paper on this MTL looks twice as good as the hawks and yotes. Feels like a 2 team race to the bottom (as of now). That will change at the TDL i'm sure. On paper though I don't think MTL looks that terrible</div></div>

The issue is that those two teams play each other alot. MTL won't be favored in any divisional game. They just got last place (in the entire NHL) and the other teams in the Atlantic definitely got better. Sens probably had the best offseason of any team, BUF getting Power and Dahlin's second half was incredible, DET adding Peron, Copp, Hudson, Chiarot...None are superstars, but thats a lot of solid depth.

Thread: Hawk Fan is this a fit

It certainly helps the tank. I'm not sure Seth Jones would accept though. Also, not 100% sure MTL would want to do this. They're every bit as close to getting Bedard as CHI/AZ. The Atlantic is by far the hardest division.

It's not in the new 2020 CBA Update I'm pretty dang sure, BUT it's entirely possible it was an immediate amendment in 2018 after Orpik was traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Sorry but it's illegal and cap circumvention, Under the new CBA, You can't trade a player to another team with buyout implications and then sign that player for much cheaper offer.

I'm not saying the rule doesn't exist, but I just reviewed the new CBA and I'm pretty darn sure isn't not in the new 2020 CBA. Must have been an amendment back in 2018 right after the Orpik trade.

From what I'm hearing from others...he may not want to go back anyway. I'm not going to claim I know the in's out's of his relationship in Dallas. He'd be a UFA and can sign somewhere else.

Is it the timing of the buyout that you're saying he'd have to take a year off? Orpik was traded away from WAS on June 2018 and signed back with WAS in July 2018.

It's the only way he'd waive too though. I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Thread: A Realistic Patrick Kane Trade

I don't think Steeves is the prospect the Hawks are looking for. The Hawks have pretty close ties to the UND program including (2) current prospects and off the top of my head 5+ others like Hino, Gilbert, Cam Morrison, Johns etc... when Steeves left there wasn't any broad discussion about the Hawks (nor Steeves) having any interest.

I appreciate the ask, but I actually dropped all fantasy leagues. I just couldn't give the time needed to be respectful to everyone else in the league. I'm the guy that gets caught up in something and forgets to swap players in/out.

Send Nylander to another team. I understand the cap reasons, but acquiring Nylander isn't helping to get Bedard. The Hawks aren't likely even going to try to give you fair value for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I can understand where the other Hawks fans are saying and I agree. 2 late firsts (statistically you are doing well if one of those late 1sts becomes a full time NHL player let alone better then a bottom 6 or bottom pairing) , a cap dump, and a UFA really doesn't move the needle all that much. I'm on the bandwagon with what analysts are saying in that a late 1st, good prospect (who's shown more then a draft pick), and a cap dump likely being the price.</div></div>

I guess I just think the goal of KD is quantity on the back end of the 1st. One of them will certainly pan out.
