But how much does it cost (not against the cap of course)

 

[BKarchitect]

Thought he was fairly decent last year for what he is. Pretty redundant on a Kraken blueline with Oleksiak and Dumoulin on the left side but he can probably give the Hawks a no-frills 16-17 minutes a night. He’s an upgrade over Tinordi for sure. Keep in mind the Hawks are playing a guy named Louis Crevier and Zaitsev (and Tinordi) regularly right now as well as having one rookie as their top LHD and another LHD rookie is still a teenager.

Hawks almost certainly icing the tallest defense in NHL history now. It's not too late, Chara!

Crevier 6'8"
Vlasic 6'6"
Tinordi 6'6"
Megna 6'6"
Jones 6'4"
Murphy 6'4"
Phillips 6'3"
Korchinski 6'3"
Zaitsev 6'2"

Need to waive Zaitsev and call up Ethan Del Mastro. Gain a whoppin two more inches that way.

Why does Chicago have 9 dmen ?

Why are so many of those dmen number 6, or less ?

Jones has been injured and obviously Mrgna is just added. The 7 listed are the 7 other guys on the roster

Bobby Clarke nearly creamed himself when he heard this.

For those interested, this cost Chicago $11,250, paid to Seattle and not counted against the cap.



Season total: $598,125
15 claims

He can't possibly be worse than playing Tinordi on the second pairing.

 

[Northernhawk]

Phillips will be going down…
