Thread: DachBoqvist
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>Sorry for doing exactly what you don’t want, but dach shouldn’t make the team. I’d like it if he went back to the whl. He’s gotta work on consistent point production. Also, I’d like it he worked on foot speed, everyone seems to think him being able to shield the puck from defenders equates to speed. Hell, the breakaway he had in the scrimmage was him blocking off a guy 8 inches shorter and 50 lbs. lighter than him. If he can consistently out skate juniors back in the whl, then I’ll feel better about him, but for now he looks ripe for someone standing him up and laying him out.

Having said that, boqvist is absolutely insane. Yes defense is a work in progress, but the ahl will help with that. I don’t think he should start in the nhl right away, but I think after half a season he could be ready.</div></div>

I agree with everything you just said and this was just my what-if scenario. 1 more year of juniors would be perfect for Dach and he should be more than ready next year. And Boqvist should start in the AHL this year and if he is producing well and maturing then he pushes Gus out the door either at the TDL or offseason.

Thread: Clearing the defensive log-jam
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Turcotte is going to Wisconsin next year and he won't fall to #8.

Trading Gus would be a bad move, he's right now a top 5 point producer on defense, no other way to describe it but giving up on him would be foolish. If he gets off to that kind of start midway through the season next year, the Hawks COULD move him for at least a 1st and 2nd rounder, maybe more.

Mitchell is going to end up being a solid top 4 player and is 1 year away, why trade him now?

Move Saad and Krys plus a 4th rounder for a top 10 pick if that's what you want, but after pick 6, the target should be Zegras, Boldy or Caufield. Cozens, Dach, Byram and Turcotte are almost a sure bet to go 3, 4, 5, and 6 not necessarily in that order.</div></div>

I will bet you $100 that Cozens, Dach, Byram, and Turcotte are not all picked top six. None of us know how the draft is going to go lol. I would agree however that Turcotte is gone by 6

Thread: Speed and scoring
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Nalimov Is he going to come to The NHL? Probably not and till he does he has no real value. The Wings just signed Larsson and with both Bernier and Howard coming back means The Wings have time to let their goalie prospects develop before going out and trading for one. Forsig is a defenseman drafted for his offensive ability with mediocre defensive ability. In 122 games he has 27 points. Now he could get better but right now he doesn't have a lot of value. Kahun in his first season 82 games and 37 points which is pretty good. Now Kahun is really to only player offered by Chicago in this trade with any value and AA had almost as many goals as he had points. In my opinion Kahun and Chicago's 1st isn't worth AA by himself and you want Detroit's first as well. Not worth it.</div></div>

First of all, I'm not onboard with all of these Athanasiou trades everybody's been posting about. But did you seriously just say Athanasiou is worth more than Kahun AND the 3rd overall pick???

Thread: Muzzin Gagner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan03</b></div><div>I don’t want Gagner on Chicago. And he would not go 2nd line</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petrock83</b></div><div>I like everything about this except Gagner on the 2nd line. He would be a 4th-line flex option if we were to get him. I would also throw in another defenseman like Tuulola so that they retain closer to 1.5 mil.</div></div>

Obviously Gagner is not a 2nd liner but Stan is not going to trade for him for "depth" we have plenty of bottom 6 depth already. Stan is probably thinking that Gagner and Kane put up monster numbers a decade ago in the OHL and see if they still have chemistry. I'm not opposed to taking a look at him. But while he's clearly not a top 6 guy, this is more about finding a guy to play with Kane

Thread: Nash is signing for 2018
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>AA is expendable this year for the Hawks. He is worth a 2nd round pick which isn't exactly a cap dump by definition. With Kruger coming in and confirmed reports the Hawks asked him to submit his 10 teams, the writing is on the walls. Kampf is solid and can take 3rd line minutes. Schmaltz has the 2nd line minutes. AA is paid too much to be a 4th liner and as a LW, it would be under utilizing him. He will either get traded now or will be packaged at the TDL.</div></div>

Our younger forwards seem decent... but David Kampf blows. Absolutely no reason to trade Anisimov for a pick, hes still a quality player, slightly overpaid but its not like we need the cap space to give kampf a larger role
