Speculation: Skinner or Pacioretty to Chicago

[Taylorst]

Patches would play well with Toews I think, but I don’t see the hole you do. The Hawks have Saad at LW, who most Hawks fans and likely the team expect to bounce back. They also have Debrincat, who is stronger at LW than RW. D should be first priority, then securing a top 6 wing. Even then, they show probably go after a RW, or a 3C if they just want to move Schmaltz to wing to fill that hole.

Their looking at faulk , Skinner and Pac, I think if they get Pac 1st , then the domino affect would be trading,saad for faulk and Skinner, this way the only cap remaining is faulks , Skinner, Pac are free next summer , we have a RHD, schmaltz and sikura will get their raises next summer with no issues due to cap restraints with toews, Kane, Seabrook, Keith, Crawford all locked up for 5 to 6 years.

Saad may bounce back but if Pac is on this team then id think their next move is faulk and Skinner,

Rutta and Gustafson and maybe murphy are traded as well to make room cap wise and open spots for Forsling and Joki....


If that all happens Pac is a sou d 2 way forward however he maybe better suited on lanes line to have both top 2 lines have strongm2 way forwards, moving Skinner to the top with debrincant is pure speed and fire power to cover for toews who is on a decline but may become renergized.

I think Skinner would look great in Chicago. I feel like he would be a better bang for buck

I think Stans trying now to really improve this team now that hossa contract is gone. But I think he wants Pac 1st as a reassurance that he can have 2 solid top lines , then Skinner faulk would be the final piece,to go after, he wants a RHD but getting Skinner allows him then to trade saad for 2 reasons future cap money and he has Pac which gives him a solid 2 way forward nothing lost their.


And I think it would spark the whole team with that kinda change.

I highly doubt Saad gets traded after him just getting back to Chi town and the price of what it cost to bring him back. Also he had a bad year, should be better this coming season for sure

 

[BHD]

I think the general feeling is this isn't going to be the lineup that starts the season. Bowman will make a move for either a top-six forward or top-four dman.

I can see Stan moving him if they get Pac and have the chance to get Skinner and faulk. It's his 6 million that Chicago is free of come next July to resign schmaltz and sikura.

Carolina wants saad and if we can get both faulk and Skinner, I see Stan pulling the trigger.

It's about a cup run 1 last time and the future cap space for the young guys

If Patches goes to Chicago.. Nick Schmaltz would be the target and probably Anisimov could be involved if a guy like Alzner or Schlemko come into the deal.

Is more coming with Saad? If not, that’s A pretty bad deal for Carolina.

Bowman is not moving both Schmaltz and Anisimov to Montreal for patches and crap

Lol the value being traded from each side is not even in the same universe here.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Schmaltz for Pacioretty straight up

Schmaltz for Pacioretty straight up

Awful for Chicago

 

[LoovTrain]

Pagnotta also broke Tavares to Toronto

Anthony Petrielli at MLHS actually was the first to break Tavares.

Schmaltz for Pacioretty straight up

Seabrook and a 1st is more reasonable than Schmaltz for Pacioretty.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Seabrook and a 1st is more reasonable than Schmaltz for Pacioretty.

You’ll need to pair a 1st just to move Seabrook

But our GM has done dumber things so I’ll never say never

Max Pacioretty

Even if Patches agreed to re-sign, I'd say no.

I'm sure something else will be included , Carolina wanted saad so I could see him being moved if Chicago already has Pac.

I was insinuating that that was an insulting offer (Seabrook + 1st) and that it is still more reasonable than Schmaltz (a more insulting offer).

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Patch would probably want around 7.5 mil in his next contract, can the hawks afford it?
