Confirmed with Link: Hawks get Taylor Hall & Nick Foligno from BOS for Regula & Mitchell

[MicronMega]

Great deal!!!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good trade for the hawks

 

[TLEH]

Im sure Jim Montgomery was all happy to get Mitchell back. They can have him. Not an NHL defenseman. Did not develop physically enough and cannot skate well enough to make it happen.

 

[Putt Pirate]

We don't really have any vets for our bottom 6, nothing like Foligno who has been through it all.

I am cool with signing him for a year to see how he is.

 

[Mrfenn92]

If Hall can turn into a 70-80pt player playing with Bedard, how much will we get for him next offseason, or the TD next year? This is a huge move.

Can turn a nice profit on him no doubt

 

[CallMeShaft]

Mitchell wasn't gonna be resigned. Regula was certainly more of a mystery and I would've liked to have kept him, but only because we are weak on RHD prospects.

All in all, I'm okay with it. Hall will get us Celebrini (probably) and he can be a mentor to Bedard. Foligno, if signed, is another pro for Connor to learn from (more off ice though, Foligno is damn near cooked).

 

[Chelios]

Not fond of giving away Regula

Farewell Mitch

Of course you would find fault with this trade. Weren’t you just complaining KD was weaponizing his cap space and improving the team?

 

[ClydeLee]

Said within the past days I see Regula as a max 3rd pair guy, not a lot of likely loss there.

Maybe Folingo can get something from Dubas

 

[x Tame Impala]

Another good trade for Davidson & Co

If Hall can turn into a 70-80pt player playing with Bedard, how much will we get for him next offseason, or the TD next year? This is a huge move.

at least MAF type interest if he does even half decently, so a 2nd+, question is does his clause still kick in July 1 or is it gone now that he has been traded during the contract? Obviously if he turns into that ppg type winger again he's going to be flipped for a haul

 

[Castle8130]

Props to Davidson. Hawks still have a ton of cap space and we acquired good vets/potential deadline pieces for basically nothing. I haven't seen one mis-step from him so far.

 

[TLEH]

Hall doesn't even have to finish his deal here if he doesn't want to. Say he scores 60+ next year with Bedard and wants to go chase it, we could easily retain and make a killing.

 

[Fortyfives]

Halls contract definitely fits the time line to get the cap floor the next two years.

Great work

Why are people talking about signing Nick foligno? Dude turns 36 in October and hasn’t scored more than 10 goals in a season since before the pandemic

Usually when teams trade for UFA rights they intend to sign player, thus why people are talking about it

I dont want him but maybe Davidson does

Because he's a vet who can still play hockey, and we are a shitty hockey team? He had 26pts in 60GP played last year, he can still play a role.

They follow to the new team.

Was Boston at fifty contracts? Could be a paper transaction.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Hall and Foligno are probably worth mid round picks at a normal TDL, they would never get that in separate deals for Regula/Mitchell, great work by KD

 

[Fortyfives]

 

[kmwtrucks]

I was thinking maybe it had to do with contracts, is the reason Foligno was inlcuded.

 

[BHawk21]

Hall-Bedard-Johnson
Reichel-Domi-Raddysh
Kurashev-Anthanasiou-Foligno

hmmm

There’s a million guys like him that aren’t 36. The hawks have a ton of 3rd and 4th liners

 

[JaegerDice]

As ling as neither guy is re-signed, Im happy with it.

 

[Hawkaholic]

None that have the experience that Foligno has.

Imagine thinking a guy who played a regular role for the best regular season team ever, can't have a role with one of the shittiest teams in NHL history. lol
