I think the others have illuded to the same thing I'm about to say. I tend to think this is one of those "lose -lose" trades. Hawks fans don't really want to trade Seth Jones away. Was that a bad trade by Bowman. Yes, absolutely. Is $9.5M too much for what he's provided the last 2 years. Yes to that as well. I think its only by a little, but I'd still agree to it. Agreeing to those two things doesnt mean I HAVE to want to trade Jones. I don't. And that doesn't mean we should be pursuing pending UFAs at all unless potentially a 1 year UFA deal. Even WITH an extension in place...wouldn't that just be Seth Jones 2.0? Hopefully Kyle Davidson isn't pulling a Stan Bowman.

On the VERY off chance Marner says ok to Chicago...I'm open, but everyone would then have to realize it's still going to be better off for TOR to keep him. It would have to get toxic in TOR...His hometown...for it to be worth sending him to CHI.

Thread: Punishing PLD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>CHI is nowhere near the same point with Reichel as LAK is with Kaliyev. That is a false equivalency, and there is no way to justify that. There is definitely a case to be made for CHI having interest in Kaliyev, though.

PLD will cost significantly more to move. That is still one of the biggest head scratcher trade AND contracts of the last few years. Someone brought up the Flames with Huberdeau, but they were essentially forced to get the best deal possible for Tkachuk, at which point it just made sense to re-sign Huber. LAK's traded too many assets for a mid 2nd line center, that probably won't age very well and already has a history of asking for trades and overplaying his hand.</div></div>

Friedman was discussing the LAK possibly buying him out immediately after the Cup Finals if they end early because he's still only 25 years old so his buyout would be 1/3 the contract vs 2/3.
