Thread: Blackhawks TDL - Everything Must Go
Cam Ward has a Full NMC and unless Crow comes back which isn't likely it wouldn't make much sense to move him as we would have to bring up Forsberg and I know all hawks fans would love that lol. Plus his numbers haven't been good 0.888 SV% And a 3.87GAA plus Calgary is good for a starter with Rittich having a great year. Smith isn't any better then Ward with a 3.04GAA And a 0.888SV%. Plus having Forsling in that deal would just be giving him up for nothing not saying he's been amazing this season but he's been hurt to be fair.

Chris Kunitz also has a NMC but he's played very little this season so I'm sure he would be willing to wave it for Pittsburgh if Chicago retained half of his salary like you have above. Dahlström I don't think Stan would give up on for nothing but a throw in he's more valuable for his potential. Only other thing is teams can only retain 2 salaries of players not 3 like you have above with Kruger.

I would agree getting rid of Krüger would likely help our cap situation at $2,775,000 but it isn't likely anyone would bite on taking him even with retaining salary unless they were looking for a bottom 6 centre because of his FO% which is 46.59% but at that rate you could just get Jason Spezza off the Dallas Stars his FO% is 59.5% second best in the league as a rental and he's a UFA after this year.
Erik Gustafsson has been great for us this year likely the best D on our blue line this year yes he's not perfect but for $1,200,000 signed for next year he's great and if you were going to go ahead and deal him you might get some high picks but I wouldn't he's only 26 and he finally looks like he's coming into his own.

And lastly the Saad trade I don't even know what to say to that, Saad is making $6,000,000 yes we know he's overpaid. Yes Stan should've kept the Breadman but he's not unless and not worth getting rid of for just a 3rd along with Kahun he's looking great this year we need to keep good young players like that to see what their full potential is.


The Only players that Stan should try and move are Kunitz, Seabrook and Murphy what return these players could get is likely very low and you'd likely need Peter Chiarelli to trade with to take Seabrook but Stan has been on a role with winning trades lately so we will see what happens.


EDIT just saw you were being sarcastic glad you weren't being serious lol
