If he can be had for cheap, of course.
Reality, Bowman overpays and signs for 2-3 years too much.

Don't stand for the Blackhawks. Stand for Kyle.

I guarantee you Oshie signs bc Chicago lost 2 of my favorite players so of course they'll replace them with a player I greatly dislike.

I don't doubt that. And I don't doubt that there may be serious interest. I think most of just struggle seeing it actually happen; don't think the contract details can be worked out. But I've been wrong before.
Why do you dislike Oshie? Just curious. I was always kind of a fan. Was happy when St. Louis traded him.

Could be Oshie to RW with Saad and Toews, and then you move Panik to 2nd line LW or 3rd line winger.
Not sure how the $ work without knowing what happens with Hossa.

Didn't Oshie play on the same line with Toews at North Dakota the one season they were together?
I guess maybe if the two are still friends and Oshie is desperate for a Cup he might be willing to come here for less, but that seems like a terrible business decision. Maybe a one year deal, take a run at a Cup, and then still be able to cash in long term next year. But even that is risky.

Very risky. He can get injured and have a down year and his stock will drop. The time to cash in for Oshie is now. I'll be very surprised and ecstatic if he comes here though, lol
Stranger things have happened. Hossa took cheaper shorter deals to chase the Cup. Regardless, we need to move Kruger's contract to even think this has a chance.
Fantastic.... book it.
Toews pulled a Draymond after the playoff loss "Come join us, win a cup"

The accountability era?
I'd like to assume that a deal is already in place and will take place after June 30th.

Yeah, given all the smoke, and the obvious timing with the bonus payday I assume Kruger is a done deal and the Hawks will either get a draft pick/ELC/prospect coming back. There is no reason they will need to take money back in a deal for Kruger given the fact he only costs the acquiring team 3.75M in actual salary the next two years. That is a ridiculously good price for a player of Kruger's caliber.
He's also not that bad.
I wouldn't want him for 5M+, but anything in the 4-5 range seems reasonable for a player of his caliber.

Seriously doubt this happen, unless some other money is moved out first. Oshie is a top 3 or so FA this year and at 30 should be in line for one last big pay day. Don't see him sacrificing that for the Hawks, who aren't looking as strong as they might have in the past.
