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

[Hawkaholic]

he's everything we do not need

Wouldn't say that, we could use someone that can score from the point on the PP.

would hope its the kid that we took 7th overall last year that put up almost a PPG in junior this year, or the guy they're paying like 9.5m to this year

It's not easy coming into the NHL as young D to a team where the forwards don't do **** to help isolate you....unless your job is to not play defense and go score goals.

That's not to say the blame doesn't go around, but under JC the structure & effort was a mess.

 

[HawksDub89]

Solid move by KD

 

[belfour30]

The Hawks don't have a lot of offensive D or RHD in their pipeline and Boqvist is both.

 

[BHawk21]

Hall is pretty much the same as Killorn in free agency IMO. Should get around 60 points playing top minutes and pp on the left side with Bedard. He will be a vet leader signed 2 years at 6 million is great. I hope he eventually wants to be here and puts in good effort

Murphy Johnson Foligno Hall Jones all worthy of a letter. I wonder if adding these vets gives them opportunities to trade away Murphy or Johnson if someone is interested.

50% retained Tyler Johnson aint to shabby.

 

[Space umpire]

Meh

Guess that is your final piece

Surely we are going to dump Blackwell if we are bringing in Foligno, right?

Blackwell is so useless and just doesn't fit anywhere in lineup IM

So Blackwell is your new whipping boy?

I wouldn't mind Boqvist but that's not his skill. He had zero PP goals this year, 3 the year before, and 1 with the Hawks.

One thing I wanted him to stay in the OHL another year for was to be a point guy more. Bouchard played the point but Boqvist was lethal on the PP from the half wall shooting around the dot. He could still be a good option there if teams used guys at what they are good at.

 

[Space umpire]

Not true

Tarasenko

You have written or video evidence that Tarasenko wanted to sign for 2 years in Chicago? For 6 million per? With only a 10 team no trade list?

If not PLEASE STFU. You making stuff up needs to stop. It’s getting old.

We all get it. You don’t like Davidson but for f***s sake, pick your spots better.

It is his skill, he just hasn't been deployed in it much. He has an amazing shot, He could definitely be a QB of a PP, and that's what I was talking about. Seth Jones definitely ain't it.

 

[razor ray]

Both are trade chips with retention. The better they play with the Hawks the more value the hold at the TDL.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I am very confused why Boqvist is being mentioned in this thread.

 

[coolhand]

Eligible for a 8-year extension.

Now that would be Stanley and he'd throw in an NMC as well

 

[Space umpire]

It’s also worth noting we still don’t know if Raddysh and Katchouk will be here at the start of the season. The world junior scandal is getting resolved this summer so we need some assurance

Since Raddysh wasn’t in the same country at the time I think he’s safe.
Katchouk (though not awful) tops out as a 4th liner (to me) or 13th forward.

 

[Mrfenn92]

If its 2 years at 2mil, I wont complain. I dont like giving players his age more than one year at a time on principle, but whatever.

One year $4 million boom done

 

[coolhand]

A rumor floating is the Hawks are also looking at J T Compher from the Avs

 

[Northernhawk]

Wait the UNTRADEABLE…NO VALUE…Ian Mitchell returned us Taylor Hall?

 

[Northernhawk]

So is Foligno going to sign with Hawks?

 

[Mrfenn92]

 

[ColbyChaos]

I'd actually take Boqvist back if he's available.

Even if we for some god forsaken reason traded for him to come back here he would only be available for 40-50 games before an inevitable injury

 

[thedarkstark]

So it seems KD is sticking to his claims of highly valuing guys who can skate. I know Hall is a bit past his prime but he's still got wheels.

Going to be really interesting to see who they take at 19.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

forgot that Foligno played with Seth in Columbus, does seem like he's for sure signing given what KD said in the public statement about valuing his leadership

 

[Rolo]

Former Hart Trophy winner, will be a great linemate for Bedard. I hope they acquire another competent winger, this team will still be very bad even if they have one decent line.

 

[piteus]

Good trade. 2 years left at $6mn per with modified no trade clause. Hall should be good for Bedard and comes off the books before the 25-26 season which is perfect.

 

[BK]

I have no idea how people couldn't at a minimum ok with this trade. Hall is a good option to play with Bedard.
