Around the League XXXIV: Offseason

[ChiHawks10]

I hope Bowman trades for him. Seriously. 8th overall + whatever other reasonable piece.

Maybe even a huge trade like

:

Karlsson

:

8th, Seabrook, 27th, Forsling/defensive prospect

Blood is in the water over there in Eastern Canada and somebody needs to take advantage of that situation. Hope it's Bowman.

Terrible for the Hawks, IMO.

I'd much rather they have the 8th, the 27th, and their D prospect over EK. He has bad legs already(has obviously slowed down compared to earlier in his career), is 28 already, and is going to be wanting a massive payday/term that will only hurt the cap situation moving forward. You're looking at dumping one Seabrook for what could amount to another Seabrook in a couple years.

I'd rather have Carlson than Karlsson at this point. And, personally, would rather the Hawks avoid both.

Just remember that whenever the Hawks piss any of us off, at least we're not Sens fans.

That would be a horrific trade. Holy hell

I will pass.

You’ve had one too many old fashions for breakfast my man.

 

[TLEH]

Thank god we aren’t Ottawa. Their GM thinks Boedker had value. These guys truly have no idea what goes on in this league, I’m convinced. Doug Wilson just flipped Hoffman for more then Ottawa originally got.

Which is why I’ll always have hope we can get out from Seabrook’s deal. My only concern there is him not waiving his NMC/NTC.

If I knew Karlsson would resign at say 8 mil per, I'd do that Karlsson deal.

 

[BK]

If I knew Karllson would resign at say 8 mil per, I'd do that Karlsson deal.

If Karlsson signs for 8 sheets then you trade close to whatever it takes.

Yeah, and 8 probably isn't realistic. But even at say 9 or 10, assuming Seabs was going the other way, I'd give up both picks.

He's getting ten plus

 

[JaegerDice]

This organization has handled worse drama than a crazy girlfriend. If we can get Hoffman on a steal of a trade just cause Ottawa can't find anyone else to take him, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Edit: Mistyped Hammond instead of Hoffman.

Guess somebody else was willing to do it after all.

I'd have taken Hoffman on this team. All this garbage will blow over eventually, and SJ will have a high-end sniper on their team, while Ottawa will have some spare parts.

He already got traded to Florida.

 

[JaegerDice]

He already got traded to Florida.

Yeah, I'm catching up.

Ok, now Florida has a high-end sniper and Ottawa has some spare parts, and SJ has a bunch of picks.

I hope Stan was at least kicking tires on Hoffman tho.

Only until the next expansion draft

Not if it is true. It will be an awkward room.

It's not like this is an isolated incident, either. Hoffman has a history of being a headcase.

 

[JaegerDice]

Boom. Headshot.

 

[BK]

I am annoyed that the Hawks did not get AG from Montreal. Domi has some potential but we could have offered better.

Really? I am not aware of the other stuff.

Who/what would you have been willing to give up for him?

 

[JaegerDice]

It's the NHL man, GMs are dumb. Domi isn't a great player and he's on a downward trajectory, but he's a 1st round pick, he has a pedigree name, he has #grit, so he's still valued despite putting up 5 goals last year with a goalie in the net.

Of the Blackhawks current prospect pool, I'd bet the only forwards valued higher than Domi by many GMs in the league currently are Debrincat and Schmaltz, and neither of them are going anywhere.

 

[BK]

AA, Krys, and a 3rd/4th round pick for AG.

I am high on AG and think there is a lot more to his game.
