Don’t know what chicago could possibly give for patch tbh...

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Isn't the 4th period pretty unreliable? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Would have to imagine any deal for Skinner/Patches would be futures based as the Hawks want to strengthen their NHL roster, not deplete it.

Forsling + 1st?

He's been good this offseason.

neutral reader here,

where do the Hawks really begin with a trade offer for either of them? Their most desirable prospects are their D prospects, but they wont depart with those especially with the state of their current D lineup.

Is Crawford healthy? If not, Ward/Forsberg is your tandem and I can see them inline with another high 1st.

Do a combo of 2nds/prospects get it done ?

gotcha, thanks.

1st and prospect is what I assume would be the ask for either of these guys.

Chicago is going to go deep next season, I can feel it

a first is enough

everything for pacio to be gone is fine

 

[bleedblue1223]

Pagnotta was one of the first on the Maroon to St. Louis train, so this probably has some legs.

Can't see their roster matching up well in Central.

The Central is ridiculous. Every team is in a win-nowish mode.

 

[Linda Bacon]

Kane, Toews, Keith, Crawford is still a great core

add $8.5 in cap space to make a move

Pagnotta was one of the first on the Maroon to St. Louis train, so this probably has some legs.

Pagnotta also broke Tavares to Toronto

 

[BonMorrison]

If Saad bounces back, a top six of Toews, Kane, Saad, DeBrincat, Schmaltz, and one of Skinner/Pacioretty is pretty damn good.

The bottom six is pretty meh though especially if Anisimov is also gone.

 

[pheasant]

Good for Chicago. They're a great team. Even though everything went wrong last season, they are still a threat. Adding scoring help and a defender would open the cup window right back up, in my opinion.

Skinner would take a lot to get, but would probably cost more. 1st rounder has to be included in either deal.

 

[Kranix]

I'm also told with the new cap space the Hawks will be pursuing the two obvious wingers who are publicly on the block this summer.

 

[BB88]

The Central is ridiculous. Every team is in a win-nowish mode.

Jets
Nashville
Blues,
top of the Metro, there should be a tier between them and the next group.

Chicago 1st isn't bad if they have another tough season.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Would be interesting if the Blackhawks make two moves with this new cap space. I think the Habs would be interested to retain salary if we got the return we wanted for Patch. Lets say the Habs retain $2M bringing his current AAV hit to the Blackhawks at $2M. That still leaves room to acquire another serious asset.

Habs also have some depth on D that the Blackhawks could use. Schlemko could be a good fit as well and the Habs can also retain if required.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Why would Hawks give up Forsling + 1st for 1 year of a player coming off horrific season?

1 year of Pacioretty isn't worth Forsling + 1st and he wants too much $$$ longterm which would be problem when Hawks go to extend Schmaltz + Debrincat

 

[Langdon Alger]

Would Carolina want Saad in a deal for Skinner? There was rumour around Saad for Faulk earlier this off season.

 

[ole ole]

Forsling + 1st?

I like this.

 

[YP44]

I think the space will be used for Faulk but looking at Chicago's roster they do seem to need a forward more than a D.

Would we want him? Yes. Would Chicago give him up for Skinner? No
