Thread: Potential Next Year with Extensions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>The only way I see this deal happening is if Chicago has a 2nd deal lined up to flip Bobrovsky to another team (Toronto, Edmonton, Carolina, L.A.).

So Florida sends Bob ($4m retained) and a 2nd pick to Chicago for FC.

Chicago sends Bob (50% retained) to a third team for a 2nd round pick.

At the end of the day the Hawks walk away with 2 x 2nd round picks for retaining $3m for the last two years of Bobrovsky’s contract.</div></div>

Only other way I would think they would be interested is if Soderblom is terrible this year and shows he is not even capable of bridging the gap to the other goalie prospects. 2 years becomes a good stop gap, but still gonna need more than just a 2nd for Hawks to take on that cap. They can sign a free agent stopgap for half that amount.

Thread: Expansion Franchise
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Wolf is exempt I believe based on last rules</div></div>

I believe he would require protection based on this: Expansion draft professional seasons use the waivers professional season definition: 11 NHL games are required for players aged 18 and 19, <strong>1 professional game in any pro-league (while signed to an NHL contract) for any player aged 20 or older</strong>

Also I think the Blackhawks as currently constructed would protect 8FD - Hall, Kurashev, Reichel, Raddysh, Jones, Murphy, Kaiser, Vlasic.

This would leave available: Athanasiou, Donato, Entwistle, R. Johnson, Katchouk, Phillips among other minor leaguers

They would need to find a Goalie and Defenseman to expose. If one of Kurashev or Raddysh were traded they'd probably protect Phillips.

Thread: What would it take
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Feelers4Ehlers</b></div><div>Thanks for the insight to the Hawks. I wasn't sure what they had in their system for defensemen prospects. I thought Stanley would give them a young big defensemen that has played enough NHL games to get them to next year. Stanley is on a 1 year deal.

I very much agree about the Schmidt contract. I also figured the Hawks could be able to take on his full contract and also give veteran leadership to whatever prospects they have on defense. Kind of like what Perry and Foligno provide to the forwards.</div></div>

Right idea, but on the left side they have prospects Korchinski, Vlassic, Kaiser. With several other LD prospects that could play this season or next.

As far as veteran leadership. They have Seth Jones and Connor Murphy to cover that. With Tinordi and Zaitsev filling out the rest of the NHL team. I don't see the Hawks using assets to pay for "veteran leadership" this season or next. Especially not on someone like Schmidt would be cost assets AND money. If there are roster holes they are better filled in free agency where it only costs them money.
