Thread: Fire Stan plus a word on Keith plus Offseason Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>3 firsts for Seth Jones? Pass

I would be interested in MAF as a cap dump OR to facilitate him to another team. Outright paying for him (even this amount) isn’t doing much for the hawks.

Seattle should take CDH, but they won’t.

Edit: I honestly find it highly unlikely that Stan Bowman will get fired because of the allegations, the hawks will blame it on guys who have left the organization recently and their legal defense will probably hold up…</div></div>

Agreed.

IF MAF is a cap dump, the Hawks aren't sending much back, and will probably net a prospect or pick (or both) back. The Hawks clearing $5MM+ off the books to turn around and pay an aging goalie $7MM+ isn't in their plans w/o some sort of compensation.

Thread: Rebuilding isnt real
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PreemoForGM</b></div><div>Suter isn’t a fourth liner. Dougie is not the answer at D. We got some quick kids who move the puck. We need some vets who candle a hard defensive workload not offensive dmen.</div></div>

Suter would be if Toews came back. That pushes the depth down further. A great team needs a really good fourth line, not just a bunch of bubble players.

I've had a crush on Dougie since his days w/ Boston. So, I'm going after him.

If the Hawks don't need/sign a goalie, they can spend more money elsewhere, but they absolutely need help. Sure the young kids w/ their speed are great, but the Hawks still need more depth at D. Getting top-end help really makes the depth better. Adding to the bottom does nothing for the top-pairing(s).
