[Hictor Vedman*]

Rest in pieces Chicago.

 

[varano]

If I'm hammer, I don't report.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Lol at posters claiming death of Chicago. As if there are no more moves to be made, etc.

Lol at Chicago fans clearly avoiding that they're having a horrible day. Blind optimism can only get you so far.

 

[dkollidas]

So this is what happens when Dave Tippett leaves???

They probably should've done this years ago

 

[Natey]

****, i would have loved Hammer in Montreal.

But the two moves made only saved 250k in cap space over the next two years. They still need to shed $1.5M in salary.

They should have moved Seabrook.

Hossa is going on LTIR. Kruger may or may not be gone. They'll be OK.

 

[TLEH]

Get younger defensively, get Saad back. It is what it is. I like the fact that we have guys on long term deals. Both hammer and Panarin were 2 years away from making more money and being harder to sign.

 

[Belial]

Bowman is a visionary.

 

[stl76]

They should have moved Seabrook.

Yeah, would have been super easy too...I'm sure teams were lining up to get a crack at trading for Seabrook.

honestly i like this trade for the hawks. the other trade... different story

They should have moved Seabrook.

whos gonna take him

 

[G0AT]

So what's Murphy's ceiling?

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

Even with these trades today, Chicago has $0 in cap space.

But when you factor in Hossa's career ending injury shakehead) then they have 5.2 million in cap space.

Congrats Chicago! You suck again!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pretty solid trade for the Coyotes. Well see how things work out in Chicago. They will either be better next year or crash and burn with heads rolling.

 

[A91]

If I'm hammer, I don't report.

Lmao why not.
Arizona is an exciting team and you get to play paired with your fellow country men and one of the best Day in the league.
Hillarious.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

If I'm hammer, I don't report.

The Coyotes were on his list of only 10 teams he was open to being traded to...

 

[keppel146]

This is worse than the Panarin/Saad trade.

Lol at anyone thinking this ****** draft day is in any way more painful for us than the embarrassing sweep we just suffered.

Checkmate.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

In the short term, its definitely a win for Arizona. Hjammer has blocked a lot of shots in his career though, you do have to wonder how he's going to age as a player. We'll see, it might be a case of moving a guy a year too early than a year too late.

What kind of player is Murphy, I see some say he sucks, some say he's great, typical HF. Any real analytical eyes for his game?

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

Also, regards to Bowman, you do have to hand it to him, he said things were going to change...and they have. We'll see how it shakes out. I'm not crazy about the moves short term, but cost control is a real important factor moving forward. We'll see, if this works out Bowman is a genius, if not, they weren't going anywhere as they were anyway...

 

[Iceman]

Wow, absolutely awful.

 

[XX]

So what's Murphy's ceiling?

#3 that hits and can skate. I don't expect much from him offensively but it can't be overstated enough how little the AZ coaches did for him developmentally.

 

[Liferleafer]

How was that the best damm offer for beauty of Hjalmarsson?

Agreed, wish the Leafs would have got in on this.
