Rumor: Hawks Interested in Torey Krug?

[RememberTheRoar]

Heard the new Locked On Blackhawks host cite this as a potential legitimate rumor. Never heard of this account before. Has a lot of followers, but also seems to think Barstool Chief is a legit source.

I’m posting this only because it got a podcast mention, but this doesn’t pass the smell test to me.

Makes zero sense. With what cap space?

 

[HawksDub89]

Not a chance.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks make no sense

Dont have cap room first off and we are loaded at LD

LD on roster
Keith
de Haan (Can play RD as well)
Maatta
Koekkoek (Can play RD as well)

LD in pipeline
Carlsson
Beaudin
Gilbert
Krys
Kalynuk

LD further down pipeline
Demin
Vlasic

Wings make alot of sense as there D suck and they have plenty of cap room

 

[ChiHawks10]

This is about as likely as Hossa coming out of retirement and leading the Hawks to a Cup in 2021.

 

[Styles]

There would be a lot of moving pieces for this to happen. 3 of Smith, Saad, de Haan, and Maatta would have to go. What does Krug get 5X6M?

Ya, I just don’t know where you get the space from. I guess if you can move Maatta and de Haan and Krug costs less than both of their combined cost?

Krug is better than just about everyone you listed on the left side though, no?

Pure BS. Like Krug's gonna take 2 nickels, lol.

Problem with doing that is you lose a couple good defensive Dmen, and bring in a guy who isn't that great in his own end. I do like the idea of adding a very capable offensive Dman to this roster, as I feel it's a major issue on this team, but not at that cost.

 

[HawksDub89]

Krug is a guy you add to put you over the top. This roster is more than Torrey Krug away from being legitimate cup contenders.

He’s gonna be 30 in April.

If you can add a younger top 4d, obviously you do it. I just don’t think Krug fits this roster that well.

Absolutely, I’d much rather throw full effort behind trying to steal Sergachev from Tampa.

We don't have our third next year so I don't even think this is possible.

That’s the dream. He’s everything we need.

Does it need to be your third, or just a third? Can they pick up a third and use that?

It needs to be the Hawks. The Habs have it from the Shaw trade.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

It needs to be the Hawks.

Well, shit. So maybe Montreal would take Maatta for that third back?

I don't think they would be looking for D after signing Edmundson.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Sikura, Fortin, Quenneville? Haha

 

[Kevin Musto]

I mean we could be interested, but our lack of cap space won't allow it.

Ian has cited Krug as an influence before so I could see front office wanting to appease the new face of the franchise...
