Thread: We have a trade to announce

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>Melnyk isn't keeping Ryan... Melnyk is hemorrhaging money - the team cant afford to keep him..... I don't know why people think finances take a back seat to fan satisfaction... Why do you think Ottawa is taking offers on Karlsson? Ottawa cant afford to resign him... Trading Bobby Ryan would be a good start...

I mean I agree, Ottawa has no reason to trade Ryan from a hockey perspective - but from a financial perspective Melnyk does an Melnyk will..... He's not going to keep Ryan and he may not keep Karlsson.... Karlsson is obviously and easy sell however Melnyk is going to have to bribe a team to take Ryan and it will cost that top 5 and that top 5 pick is the best chance they have to move Ryan.</div></div>

Nobody's denying that the Melnyk wants to get rid of Ryan because that's obvious. But your price tag is just nuts. I could see a possible trade for the top 5 pick and Ryan for a haul of other picks maybe. But Chabot isn't just a top defensive prospect. He's one of the best up and comers and Melnyk would be an idiot to trade him, especially along with a top 5 pick.

idk what to say other than wow this is bad. Chabot and that top 3 pick is the future of that organization. Ryan could be making $30 mil(yes i know this is not possible) and they still wouldn't consider this

Thread: Blackhawks draft and July 1st

I am 100% on board with trading Anisimov and NSH 1st for Justin Faulk, however I think it will be Anisimov, NSH 1st, and more (another pick or prospect). Also Vinnie should not be making that much and we do not need Kampf and Kero on a 4th line. They are the same mediocre 4th line/depth center

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawks34</b></div><div>murphy is better than being some cap dump. this trade is in canes favor. though i do think if henri jokiharu is ready, then murphy would be expendable. if this scenario were to be talked about, i think canes have to send a 2nd or more back to chicago.</div></div>

Lol nah I think this is pretty fair but if anything we would have to include a 2nd rounder of more. Faulk is far and away the best player in this deal. Murphy and TVR are essentially washes so then it is a 2/3rd line center and a top 9 maybe top 6 winger. So pretty fair, but I'd dangle the Preds 1st rounder at the draft and include it in a deal like this and take back a 2nd or 3rd rounder

Thread: Read description

Good trades but I think Rutta is barely an upgrade over Sustr so not likely to get a2nd rounder back with him. I'd also hope we sell other expiring contract players for scraps. Bouma, Wingels, Kempny, Sharp, Jurco could possibly return a few 6th/7th rounders. Even guys like Oesterle and Gustafsson have looked really meh lately and could maybe fetch mid rounders. Oesterle has made some of the worst turnovers I've ever seen these last few games

Interesting trades but this team would be well over the cap next year with McDavid's new contract. You'd also have no room to resign Petrovic.

Thread: Team USA Olympics 2022 and beyond

The future of USA hockey is bright buy I definitely say you nailed the beyond 2022 roster here. As far as 2022 goes, we would probably go with a couple more veteran players.

Just to name a few:
Forwards:
Pacioretty, JVR, Atkinson, Krieder, Galchenyuk, Tyler Johnson, Saad, JT Miller, Anders Lee
Defense:
Carlson, Fowler, McDonagh, Faulk, Krug, Leddy, Shattenkirk

And our starting goaltender would almost definitely be John Gibson

Thread: How I see them on ice

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Willian_Cardoso</b></div><div>Wow. This team would have less chance to win another cup than Hawks current team.</div></div>

This is 100% accurate.
1. Kane NOT playing center
2. Connor Murphy has been rock solid this year. Arguably possibly our best dman but he keeps bouncing around the lineup which sucks for him. Definitly not worth demoting. I'd still say he's a huge part of the future of the Hawks blue line

THE TURNAROUND STARTS TODAY BOYS!!

But I 100% agree with their lack of heart so far this season. That ****'s gotta stop

Bold predictions for rest of year: Duclair-Toews-DeBrincat line kills it. Duclair's speed and DeBrincat's sniping gets Toews going, Saad starts producing with Schmaltz and Kane, Duncan Keith scores some goals STARTING TONIGHT

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>Mete is untouchable and you're right Dahlin is a major pipedream as their is no way the Hawks are getting the #1 overall pick.</div></div>

Pipedream is a bit of an overstatement. It is unlikely but the Flyers moved up from 13 to 2 last year in the lottery to draft Nolan Patrick. As of now, the Hawks are the 9th worst team in the league and if they continue to slide... then there is actually a chance but agreed unlikely

Vinnie Hinostroza is similar to Dvorak, plus they're getting Jan Rutta who has top4 D potential as well as a 2nd round pick. Seems like a decent offer to me

I'm not here to judge your moves, because they're fine.

I just want to say that the Sens are not even going to make the playoffs this year. There's like 4/5 teams that missed the playoffs this year that I think will simply knock them out of the picture.
