Trade Deadline (2/29): Who ya got? (Laddhawks)

[QuennevillesDoghouse]

There would have to be quite a few injuries for Rozi to be our 3d...

I'd like to think so, but it depends on how Q is feeling. I still have nightmares of 2014 Handzus.

 

[JaegerDice]

Guess Q and Stan are happy with their D....


but I think that's pretty foolish, personally.

 

[x Tame Impala]

So now that Sekac was claimed, how much cap space do we have now?

Less than we'd like.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The Kings icing Schultz and Scuderi can't possibly make them better.

Liam Coughlin blows

Getting a 7th round pick would have been better haul ,, Hell future considerations would have been better

How would you know? What actually experience do you have judging talent or potential with hockey players? Considering you have been wrong about every other than Rundblad, I can say with certainty you have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[BrianE]

That's what people forget ... even on the road, the opponent's coach has to decide who to put his best defensive line against. And while he worries about the Hawk's first 2 lines, the depth on our 3rd and 4th lines dominate. That's been the key to our success during the Cup runs.

And we should be far better with possession ... taking a lot of pressure off our D Men.

This

Totally agree and i think some forget that, it's kind of like a 2 edged sword. During the 2014 po's weakness was a mediocre C and the inability to employ 4 solid lines, now we have that like last season.

Still amazing what Hawks did with the D situation during last years run, especially after Rozy got hurt. Exciting times boys & girls.

 

[BK]

Not sure how anyone can be happy with the Danault giveaway

Stanley overpaid badly ,,, There is no defending that trade

Please explain. Oh wait you can't because he did not over pay. THis is similar to the Vermette trade last year where you said we overpaid and acted like Dahlstrom was the next Lidstrom when in reality he a #6 dman.

There's still 48 hours left JD, just maybe. Bicks for a cheap D is maybe all Stan has left?

They put more stock in making all 4 lines a threat. That means they expect Seabrook to get his act together and either TVR or Gus to improve enough to hold top 4 minutes. Risky, but I understand the thought process on the bottom 6. Miracle we have the record we do with one line carrying us the entire season. The D did have stretches earlier in the season they were very good (aruond the time of the back to back shutouts of Tampa and Anaheim and it carried on for a while). Since the 12 game winning streak they have been consistently below average.

My biggest concern defensively in the PK. If that gets shored up I think we can cope. A big if, they have been dreadful.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Unproven prospects and picks have more value on this site than they do in real life.

QFT. We should change the terminology for prospects to suspect because that is what they are....suspect.

 

[BK]

Well if Leafs/Bickell stuff has any truth then you flip Bickell with assets then trade for a Liles

Either way still not happy with this D given Gus inconsistency defensively , Svedberg's softness and Ehrhoff's suck

Have you ever been happy? Other than when Rundblad was sent away of course.

Still two days left. I have a feeling he'll add a depth dman

 

[Honey Bear]

So we aren't getting a top 4 DMan?

Wellp so much for all these moves when we get burned on defense in the playoffs...

How the **** do you go all in but then don't fix the one gaping hole that may kill your team in the postseason??

 

[Honey Bear]

We need a GOOD top 4 Dman. Someone who is actually qualified to play in the top 4 for a cup contender. Anything short of that and we put ourselves in a vulnerable spot.

It is not a gaping hole if Gus gets back to where he was at the start of the year. Also having a 3rd pairing that is A LOT better takes away the need to have a stacked top pairing.

We are in pretty damn good shape and our forwards also take away the stress on our D.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

Please don't forget that, barring a Rise Against concert, we have a Vezina-caliber goaltender.

Of course they'd ideally get a top 4 dman, but it may not work out. And a good backup plan would be to get a cheaper, depth dman.

The Hawks can still win without getting someone like Hamhuis. They've already significantly improved the roster.

Agreed. Cheaper options like Liles or Schlemko would be fine IMO.

I dont like counting on two rookies and two corpses in the bottom 2 pairs.

Who are the corpses?

I certainly know your not talking about Rozy who has been solid and dependable all year

As for Erhoff he may or may not suck but he is step up over Scuderi and Daley likely

False.
Rozy has had some good games, but recently he has not been very good.
Picking the wrong time to trend downward

 

[Hawkaholic]

Roszival has been fine all year, a little less lately. But he is still a much better option than most teams bottom pairings.

 

[Sarava]

That can be said about the whole team. But the timing is fine. The wrong time is April.
