You would think at this point in his career, it would be hard for ANYONE to criminally underrate or under-appreciate Kane. You would think...
I like the idea of bringing in another UFA with the intent of trading them at the TDL, If they're able to move someone like De Haan without taking back much money or retaining too much. Maybe they could sign Hoffman to a one-year deal. He'd look good on Toews' wing, hopefully pots 20+ goals by the TDL and can be shipped out for a 1st round pick. Of the RFAs you mentioned, I'd want to keep Zadorov, Carlsson, Nylander and Suter beyond this year. I'd only move Carlsson if it became clear he wasn't going to factor into the left-side for the foreseeable future; if someone like Kalynuk or Beaudin were to clearly pass him on the depth chart. Nylander is either going to be good enough that we'd want to keep around, or not, in which case he isn't going to have much value.
On the Alex Nylander topic, would there be any interest in trading him to Winnipeg for Jack Roslovic?
I don't have a true sense on AN 's value and worth to Hawks roster. I am thinking of draft pick placing and age and production in comparing Roslovic and Nylander. Any takes on this from you all?
I'll do it and I kind of like Nylander still.
Cool. We would have deal, if I were a "Chevy"!
Jack Roslovic still has lots of potential, just not much in Wpg with their roster and coaches player decisions, style change they seem to demand out of him? Euro rooted players seem to excell there again, over heavy bias to US born/ raised players previously shown.
Might work out + for both teams?
Powers, Edvinsson, Hughes, Guenther, Clarke, Raty, Berniers, Johnson, Eklund, Lucius....that’s a pretty good crop. Especially when it comes to high end D
Chicago can move some great pieces at the deadline. Strome, DeHann, Zadorov, Wallmark, Janmark, Kampf, Nylander, Suter, Murphy. Tons of value!
There are a couple good Euro FAs too
Can't really see any of the core four being traded .. Unless of course one of them requests to be moved.First time in Blackhawks territory. Hello Hawks fans. Always loved your team.
Just curious, if you could sum this up for me, but where is the direction for your team now? Your core is obviously on the back side of 30 and Kane isn’t going to be elite forever, so just wondering if you guys are going full blown rebuild mode and trading your core away to contenders, or letting them stay to help develop the new comers?
If it’s the latter, Toews’s and Kane’s contracts don’t really help with cap flexibility.
Cheers
