Is it me or did they dump Mason pretty cheap? I mean Armia has potential to be good middle 6 but..

They gave up more than you think.

They gave up more than you think.

I dont get what you mean. 7th round pick, 4th round pick and Joel Armia who is very good 3rd liner and could be stunt in top-6. I know how Armia plays, I have watched him a lot even from his Finnish days and followed people in Finnish forum who talk about Laine and Jets all the time.

Not fully comparable but Sharp trade for example. Obviously Jets COULD have kept Mason, Hawks had to move Sharp so they are under cap.

I think a middle 6 center and the picks is a steal for the Canadians. That was just to move Mason. Just my opinion.

Armia is a winger but I dont see that as big deal. But okey, I get what you mean.

Sorry typo, you are correct.

I’m reading that Tavares-watch thread in main trade forum and apparently all 6 teams are in and they are bidding now. It’s all about the $$$$.

Is he going to get $12m? Gosh I wish he does because he is not worth it and it will make the ”winning” team feel the cap pressure.

Tyler Ennis waived- shame concussions did him in, always was a fan of him...someone probably takes another chance on him, but I think for his health he needs to call it quits or take a full year off.

 

[BK]

Just a prospect camp but Zadina looked really, really good.

Any guesses for Tavares? Team/Term/AAV

Leafs - 7 years - $11.5 AAV

 

[Hawkaholic]

Ryan Reaves just signed a 2yr 2.775mil AAV contract

My exact thoughts.

 

[AmericanDream]

God I should have been more of a goon when I played...Bowman is a f***ing genius compared to what is out there

 

[Blue Liner]

Jesus f***. NHL GMs will NHL GM.

JVR to Philly per Friedman

 

[AmericanDream]

no longer be afraid for those not wanting JVR, that ship has sailed...he is going back home.

 

[BK]

JVR to Philly per Friedman

Simmonds gone?

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

5 x 7 for JVR per Bucci.

I'm happy Hawks didn't do that

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Simmonds gone?

Sounds right to me

 

[Fortyfives]

Simmonds gone?

I would love Simmonds with the hawks logo on his chest. He's one of my favorite players.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Simmonds is really easy to love, but they’re selling at the right time.

You are probably right.
