Thread: How I think Lou going to navigate the Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALjet12</b></div><div>The trade is fair value not going lower and you going to say there are other goalies on the open a market heard it before just saying don't be surprised if this happens.</div></div>

No it’s clear that you can’t afford Carla move at his price and sorokin on a new deal so you need to move varlamov. There’s no value in giving up multiple picks to help you out of cap issues. Cap space is the most valuable asset this off-season, wait and see, teams needing to dump contracts will have to PAY UP. Even for guys who have performed.

Thread: I dont even know where you sitting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>thesaadfather</b></div><div>I haven’t seen anything written where Keith has specifically asked for a trade, or anything that implies he’ll be upset without one. There are plenty of ways for him to see his son without trading him. Frankly, I suspect that if Canada’s COVID restrictions are relaxed and he’s still here, it won’t be an issue. We have the young defensemen and cap flexibility to just give him time off during the season as well. I think you’re over-estimating your bargaining position here.</div></div>

The point of being closer to his kid isn’t the restrictions, it’s if on an off day from Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, or Seattle it’s less than an hour flight to see his son play or practice. From Chicago it’s more like 3-4 with time changes. Can’t just do that on an off day in Chicago. It’s been reported by multiple outlets and sources from across the hockey spectrum. I don’t see him sitting out if he’s not traded, but it’s kind of a bad look for the hawks to ignore the request at this point.
