Confirmed Trade: [ARI/CHI] Hossa, Hinostroza, Oesterle, 2019 3rd for Kruger, Entwistle, Maletta, Campbell, 2019 5th

[RandV]

Ya, the Canucks finished strong too.

It’s largely just garbage players trying to convice management they’re not garbage players by taking advantage of coasting teams during garbage time.

While late season runs by basement teams usually can't be counted on to carry over into next season, the Coyotes also had an epically bad start to the season (1 win in their first 15 or something?) which wasn't really reflective of the team. Balance the two ends out and it wouldn't be a surprise if they could be closer to a bubble team than back in the basement this season.

 

[Taylorst]

So the most overrated GM in the league, Stan Bowman, has lost another trade...

How did he lose out ? Kruger fills a nice void at the bottom whom is reliable. Hinostroza was all speed but I think they didn't see him really progressing into top 6 . We are free of that albatross hanging around hossa contract.

We gain cap space, Kruger 2.5 mill
So between osterle and hinostroza it's a wash .

 

[Flukeshot]

Hawks are down to what 6 legit NHLers plus the Ghost of Chris Kunitz?

 

[karnige]

all part of Chicago's master plan. yeesh.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT CHAYKA IS A GENIUS HERE.

"The impetus for the deal, plain and simple, was Hossa’s contract."

Blackhawks dump Hossa contract on Coyotes, give up Hinostroza, Oesterle in nine-piece deal

Chicago wins all day.

 

[karnige]

I mean, this is what, the 20th time this has happened? Hasn't the novelty worn off yet?

no it's obvious to everyone except a few blind homers. but props to the Hawks for dancing around the cap

 

[ColbyChaos]

A 60pt 21 year old C, still a 50-60pt C in Z, 40pt Nielsen, 20pt Glendenning... Our C depth is fine. Everything else is garbage.

Z likely won’t even play this year so Nielsen will be your 2C

They actually do, but I won't let the pundits on this forum think they did. I'd much rather talk about how the Hossa contract circumvents the ca.....

Wait, the Hawks don't have that problem any more!!!!

Ah, it's a great time to be a Hawks fan.

If only because Chayka is the one who gets to do this trade with Chicago rather than many of the others who would love to pay 200k for a 5mil cap hit and get valuable assets in return.

 

[KPower]

Just relocate the coyotes already.

 

[Koized]

It wasn't sudden. He had been dealing with the condition for years, but it got worse over time. Like it did for Tom Reid.

The Gunk: a Virulent Oozing Rash

He would’ve continued playing if he was making 4-5M. The Hawks won multiple Cups circumventing the cap then never had to deal with the consequences. Total joke.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Yotes continue to give “fun coupons” to the rest of the league rather than actually try and build a team. In my heart of hearts I’ve always hoped they’d build a team and create a following, but I have no idea if it’ll ever happen at this rate. For the fans that are there I hope they don’t relocate because being a Pens fan I understand the heartache of being a hardcore fan and not knowing if my team will be there the next year... But damn...

 

[puterwiz53]

im not even sure Marcus Kruger is a reliable NHL player anymore at this point

Marcus Kruger played through a sports hernia injury this past year which explains the season he had. He had his surgery a couple of weeks ago and should have a much better season with the Hawks. He is very excited to be back and will be fully healthy. He still wins 55 percent of his faceoffs and his defensive game should be much better now that he will be fully healed and exicted to be back in Hawkland

 

[Warden of the North]

The John Chayka special.

Who will it be next year?

 

[Todd Parchment]

This type of trade should be illegal. NHL should be ashamed for allowing this.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Who will it be next year?

Lucic or Seabrook

What in this deal indicates the Coyotes are not building a team?
They gained 2 NHL level players, shipped out 1, and took a 3rd for a prospect who was drafted in the third + a 5th. The cap hit money is more or less irrelevant to the Yotes side.

If you wanna complain the team doesn't have much money to spend, take a number. But they aren't just sitting around not trying to improve their lot, in fact taking these cap hit deals shows quite the opposite. In each case they brought NHL pieces back to add to the team with very little negative impact to the existing roster.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

long contracts with a lower salaries the final years is still an illegal contract in the CBA which you dont seem to get despite being told dozens of times...

I don't have it memorized, but I'm pretty sure "long contracts with a(?) lower salaries (in) in the final years" isn't a term used in the CBA.

Any other HOF'ers LTIRetired?

 

[Thorton02]

How long before Arizona can ice a tema full of guys that will never play again?

At some point, these contracts are going to kill Arizona if they ever decide to be competitive.

It shows management wants to scrimp and pay the bare minimum, and would rather take on a bunch of cap to hit the floor than pay good players and build a team. They did this deal to save millions in cash. Not for hockey reasons.

Yep, if.

This thread, this trade, this GM is a cartoon come to life.

Look at these lines:



Panik Ribeiro Hossa
Grabner Bolland Keller
Perlini Stephan Fischer
Richardson Galchenyuk Merkley

OEL Goligoski
Hjalmarsson Demers
Chychrun Mayonnaise

Raanta
Kuemper

Does Arizona have any plan for getting out of the basement? It seems like their yearly goal is to just hit the cap floor. Pathetic return for taking on that contract.

There’s a good chance Hino is a second line winger for them. An NHL top 9 player and an upgraded draft pick isn’t a bad return at all.
