Anything is negotiable atp, for the right price.Missed that one! You're right. Are they taking on salary too?
even if chicago has pieces they feel have no future on the Hawks (hello dylan strome), I would much rather trade him for futures than rentalsI expect Chicago to be a bad team again come the following season with Kane still putting up a solid amount of points.
But I think they should be buyers, but not for the big names, more of the small names and expiring contracts within the likes of Cody Eakin, Tanner Pearson or Eric Staal. Taylor Hall maybe if Buffalo retains 50%.
Let's just swap 'em then. Koskinen for Subban. We can pull up Stalock from the taxi squad and send Malcolm there and get some cap flexibility for the summer, you guys get an upgrade at backup for next year. Everybody wins! We can retain a little if needed.what you adding to dump koskinen...he's probably an upgrade over malcom subban fwiw
He is an NHL caliber goalie, he's just overpaid by 2 million. He would have been signed for over 2.25 if he was a free agent this past offseason, he'd be a solid backup upgradeBut what does this do for Chicago?
Take on a terrible goalie at 2.25 and they get a fourth round pick?
..... and they get the luxury of having to pay him next year as well? Yikes.
The oilers should try and convince him to just go back to Europe. Not an NHL goalie.

LOL you remind me of Oiler fans trying to entice ANY potential buyers.How about a Lucic to protect your youngsters while you rebuild he skates like a snail and for someone his size has the shot power of a 14 year old
I dont think anyone gives him anything above league minimum on his next contract. In fact, I don’t think he will be offered a next contract in the NHLHe is an NHL caliber goalie, he's just overpaid by 2 million.

Compher + 3rd for 4thNo thank you sir
Really no need to take on his contract length
John Moore would look great as a Blackhawk![/QU
John Moore , Anders Bjork for Duncan KeithJohn Moore would look great as a Blackhawk!
You're not quite understanding how this works. The Oilers pay to dump the contract.Let's just swap 'em then. Koskinen for Subban. We can pull up Stalock from the taxi squad and send Malcolm there and get some cap flexibility for the summer, you guys get an upgrade at backup for next year. Everybody wins!

What's your source? The belief on Chicago sports radio is they are willing to retain on one contract as middleman and eat one or two bad contracts with one year remaining. ... for a price. Which due to the current state of the salary cap will likely be higher than last year.Friedman needs to finish his thought. Sheesh Elliott. Chicago will take on expiring cap dumps. The expiring part is the most important aspect. They won’t want bad contracts with term.
The Hawks trade for the better goalie.You're not quite understanding how this works. The Oilers pay to dump the contract.
The Hawks aren’t searching for the better goalie. A deal like this only gets made if the Oilers are searching to move the cap space.The Hawks trade for the better goalie.
Even if that is the case, it limits Chicago to expiring or 1.5 year left deals. Really shrinks the universe of cap dump players.What's your source?

Way off on everything you said. You basically ignored the premise of the thread and their situationI expect Chicago to be a bad team again come the following season with Kane still putting up a solid amount of points.
