Janmark is mentioned as probably their most likely piece of trade bait. Colorado were linked to him in free agency. He’s listed as a centre but hasn’t played there much. Definitely more of a winger.

Don't think we need a bottom 6 forward like him, but it might make sense if we can send Illinois-boy Compher the other way, if only as a means to move his contract. Something like Janmark + 4th for Compher for example. Janmark is a pretty decent PKer as we saw in the playoffs last year.

Nichuskin ----- 3C ------ Donskoi
Janmark -- Bellemare -- Calvert/Jost/O'Connor

From that Chicago article:

Zadorov, defenseman: As recently as last month, Bowman made it clear he still sees Zadorov as part of the Blackhawks’ future, even referring to the big bruiser as Blackhawks “property” due to his restricted-free-agent status. But Zadorov’s next contract has to be a slight concern for the Blackhawks. His agent is probably already creating comparables and noticing Zadorov playing a larger role in Chicago than he did in Colorado. He’s playing a top-four role, around 20 minutes most nights. That means a pay increase. Would Bowman move on from Zadorov after just acquiring him? In the past, probably not. Now? We’ll see. The Blackhawks need to figure out whether Zadorov is a key piece of their future and whether he fits in their financial structure.

So glad we're not the ones dealing with that contract negotiation and probably having to give him a raise to avoid him walking in UFA in a year.

I’m still of the opinion that it would have been better to trade Graves and keep Zaddy. I wouldn’t even talk contract with him throughout the year. Qualify him and expose him to Seattle. If he’s not taken, deal with it then but I feel they’d definitely take him.

Bowman is in love with big Z, I don't think he would've taken Graves back for Saad /w retention.

Time to hit up Bergivin now that he's getting desperate.

Are there any Montreal players that would be of interest other than Danault or possibly Lehkonen?

Maybe he'll get stupid with a 1st round pick or Caufield.

Drouin

 

[Rob Avs33]

Any opinions on Filip Forsberg? What would it take to pry him out of Nashville. Would something like Burakovsky, Kaut and a 1st work? Too much? Not enough?

Drouin

You pushed the wrong emojies there. Should have been

Nahh I low key want him

There isn't a player that fits Bednar's system - where forwards are expected to backcheck incessantly, worse than Drouin. Big no on that.

I really thought you were gonna go along with me there haha.

After posting that I low-key thought about deleting it and doing just that. But I decided against it so as to spare everyone 2 pages of Drouin talk. He's just not worth it

 

[Hasbro]

Dim Jim is supposed to near the end. See if he will do a Chiarelli spite trade on the way out the door.

Horvat for Compher!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I'd love to add Forsberg, but I don't think he fits what we need most and the assets it would take to get Forsberg need to be used to improve our other areas...


Though I do especially like the idea of a Burakovsky+ for Forsberg trade but doubt Nashville would have interest in that.

 

[Richard88]

If we're raiding Nashville again, why not grab both Haula and Granlund?

Granlund + Haula (50%) for Compher + Kaut + 3rd

Landeskog -- Mackinnon - Rantanen
Burakovsky ------ Kadri ---- Saad
Granlund --------- Haula --- Donskoi
Nichuskin -------- Jost ------ Calvert
(Bellemare/LOC)

Because they suck now.

Think about how much fun it would be to pick on @UncleRisto if an all-finnish 3rd line is the reason we lose in the playofffs though...

Your mouth to the hockey gods’ ears.

For that reason alone, it can't happen.

Hard pass on Drouin. He’s not a good NHL player.
