I’m thinking Raddysh and Katchouk might not be here. The hockey scandal is supposed to come out after the cup finals, and if implicated they’re getting straight up cut.
Confirmed with Link: Andreas Anthanasiou 2 year extension $4.25 million aav

Totally agree. You know what is worse then overpaying AA by $1m per season for two years… sitting there late in August and needing to spend $15m to reach the cap floor.
The last thing I want to see is Davidson paying to take on negative cap hits because he sat on his wallet and is now under the gun to get to the cap floor.
I think Raddysh was out of town when it happened, which would be an insane lie to tell given how easily verifiable it is. I think he'll be on the team next year. Katchouk is more up in the air.
If AA gets that, Domi will be getting at least $6MM per year for a multi-year....but he played well for us and in the playoffs (that I saw) and he stands up for teammates.....so I wouldn't have a problem with him for 2 years at that price.

Domi will sign longer for slightly more somewhere else. He wants security at this point. Can't see him betting on a 2-year deal. My guess would be 4X4.5M to a team with space, maybe DET.

we can give him 3x7 and he can go get another contract after that. More money.

I think $7M per year isn't ideal given that I think the Hawks will be somewhat frugal with space to take more dumps, etc. over the next few years. $11.5M in Domi and AA isn't great. If he would shave some off the $7M price tag, sure.
I know we need to spend $20M in total to hit the floor but using more than half for those guys limits you to like 2 dumps. I'd like to see a VAN guy here (Boeser/Garland) so that is ~$6M, then Bailey for $5M, and maybe a Murray snag for another $6.25M. It adds up quickly. I understand some of these expire after this year but would like to remain as flexible as possible.
Problem is not the money nor years but fact that AA is very bad on ice.
Why this might be good.
If he is good in locker room.
FO thinks they can't get much out of cap dump market.
FO thinks free agent market is bad.

I wonder, as the cap is supposed to really go up the next 2 years after this, if players will do shorties waiting on that to cash in for more in a couple years?

When a team isn't trying to be good, a player's value isn't necessarily limited to just his in-game performance.

Nick Kypreos: What the Maple Leafs can learn from Adin Hill’s Stanley Cup final run with Golden Knights
The Leafs have plenty of options in goal, but after watching Hill’s playoff run the question is: how bold does GM Brad Treliving want to be?

Not a biggie. Being upset about the money is just asinine. Term is fine and as many already said the Hawks will be in the process of rebuilding upcoming season too. And AA had a good end to last season.
PS. His surname is Athanasiou. And I also thought all this time that he was a Swedish national.

RIP Fugu
He is trash 3/4 of season and is generally a waste of roster spot
I would rather have a guy put in 82 game effort signed and playing then a guy who is MIA or outright putrid majority of year
AA is crappy player

Been saying it, Davidson playing 4D chess, forcing other orgs to dump their cap dumps to us for assets.

AA's is dumb money but at two two years I don't care. This is what I was hoping to pay Domi. Yeesh that guy is getting a bag.

Entwistle tries plenty. I'd much rather watch a guy like AA.
Kura
On Kurashev, if we are going 3 it better be with some term. I would be pretty happy rolling the dice on him if we can get him in the 2.5-3 range going 5 or even 6 years. You can beat him up to save pennies as an RFA the next couple of Summers when we have plenty of cap space, or get him looked in longer term paying him a little more in the first couple of years than you have to in hopes you end up with a value deal on the back end. If Kurashev turns into a 40-50 point middle 6, having him at 3 million per in year 4 and 5 when cap might start mattering again would be real nice. Worst case, he is what he is or regresses and it won't hurt much with an increased cap anyways.
we are at 46 million for a 14 man roster leaving 9 spots open. Kurashev/Domi at 10.5 gets us to 56.5 with 7 roster spots open....or well above the floor with just league minimum players.

What a garbage decision. The most one dimensional player in hockey - skate fast and don’t score. What a joke. He has ZERO trade value. I wouldn’t want him at league minimum. $4,250,000? Joke.

The Hawks want to stay with the game plan and that's to play fast so AA certainly satisfies that. They are also in a position to not sign anyone else and just trade for poor contract values at this point....there's enough of that to go around in the league....I would like to see one more first round ....someone around that 20-25 arena.

I get the feeling if you found a $50 bill on the street you would get mad that it wasn’t $100.

Isn’t literally every thread that the fans don’t agree with the GM regarding a move “gold” according to you? I remember all the horrendous Stan trades, those were also gold to you, the team getting stripped was gold at the time. What you don’t understand is that every move counts, every move represents your GM, even if there is no run these next two years, it just gives you a glimpse at your GM and how much he’s willing to pay players. I would much rather bring Kane back at 6.25M than sign AA to 4.25. Also the whole thing about trying to start new and wanting the young players to be their own leaders is stupid, the team wasn’t bad because Kane wasn’t performing or leading, the team was bad because there were no supporting cast to help him. God help us if this GM turns out like your boy Stan the Man. Ofcourse you will deny how much you loved him when he was here haThis thread is gold.
