Proposal: is towes moveable if the team taking him took seabrook

[vatali]

If Chicago did not retain, could a team give the hawks peanuts for towes if taking the full hit on seabrook? Say 2 or 3 prospects only?

Seems that seabrook contract is buyout proof.

I don't think many teams can add 18 million in salary no

Seattle 2020

Both those contracts are immovable. Over 17m in cap hit combined.

I'm sorry....you aren't suggesting a team take on 18 million dollars are you?
Maybe toss in your two best young players, 2 best prospects and your next 4 first round picks, too

Yes I am. lets say the Sharks offer Paul Martin, a B level prospect ( say noah rod) and some other peanuts for towes and seabrook with no retention, would Chicago bite? Sharks could absorb the 18M and replace thornton with towes.

I'm not saying its realistic, I'm saying there are positions where teams could take the hit.

Scott Darling + Victor Rask for Toews + Seabrook

 

[The Note]

A team would certainly want a sweetener to take the Seabrook contract off Chicago’s hands. Not sure that sweetener would be Toews and his 10.5 million cap hit.

 

[JetsHomer]

Why would a team give anything for two cap dumps? Two of the absolute worst contracts in the league?

Weird proposal

 

[Hawkaholic]

Hawks would have zero interest in trading Toews.

Is Chicago adding Debrinecat and your first round pick too? Nobody wants Toews or Seabrook with those terrible contracts

 

[Hawkaholic]

You are foolish if you don't think a team would give up anything at all for Toews, with zero retention.

 

[DaveG]

Scott Darling + Victor Rask for Toews + Seabrook + 2019 1st

Added more accurate version of proposal.

 

[PensandCaps]

You are foolish if you don't think a team would give up anything at all for Toews, with zero retention.

And that team would be very dumb.

I don't think the Sharks would do it because I don't think they'd be able to win while those guys are on contract.
Part of the reason for Chicago's success was these guys were on ELCs or discount deals. These contracts are back pay retirement deals.

I don’t see a team that would take a player on the downward slide with that contract
Hope there is a free buyout when the CBA expires

 

[AvatarAang]

toews might be moveable if the team taking him didn't have to take seabrook.

 

[flamesforcup]

the way Toews was spelt in the title gave me a chuckle lol

 

[JetsHomer]

And that team would be very dumb.

For not adding a decent player that is at least 4m dollars overpaid? lol ok

 

[yababy]

Toews and Seabrook each have full No Movement Clause

 

[PensandCaps]

For not adding a decent player that is at least 4m dollars overpaid? lol ok

No im saying the opposite. The team would be stupid for adding him.

 

[Cogsfordogs7]

I would trade you Perry, Kesler, and Carlyle for those 2 if you throw in Quenneville.

 

[boredmale]

If the Islanders lose Tavares I could see them being interested, although Islander would have to dump a (lesser) bad contract back.

 

[rent free]

No way. Maybe the Canucks take them to nurture their babies and it would cost nothing to give up. They have bare cash after their two greatest players retires. The habs are another team that could take them. They too have a lot of cap and a competing core

Yeah, but unfortunately Chiarelli doesn't have the cap space.
