I posted this over on the main trade board and a few CBJ fans seemed to like this idea. What do you guys think.......


If I'm Columbus I offer a B prospect and a conditional pick based on how the team does in the playoffs. They have a window to really take a shot at the Cup the next two years and should be all in.

Here's how I would base the conditions on the pick.

ECQF - 4th round
ECSF - 3rd round
ECF - 2nd Round
SCF - 1st round

I would decline. They get Kovalchuk for 3 years and the pick is going to be on a scale for next year?

I wouldn't do that.

Not that I think it has legs but if Kovy stuff is true and Hossa is LTIR bound (Expectation from Hawks thus far is given legit medical situation there will be no stopping it despite the fantasies of some NHL fans that NHL will force Hossa to play or retire) then what about a deal like this

Hawks 1st in 2018 or 2019 (Devil's choice) + Vinnie Hinostroza + Hossa's contract for Kovalchuk

If we're taking Hossa, we better do better than Hinostroza/1st.

What are you guys realistcally looking to get back in a Kovy trade? I honestly dont know the value for him right now.

Is it just picks or you guys looking for good NHL players too?

Honestly we're all just spitballing in terms of his value considering this is kind of unprecedented and he's gotta pick a team and come to terms. I'd take either...a defenseman/RW or picks.

Nikita Soshnikov/Kerby Rychel + Picks? Is that bad? Like I said, I dont know what the value is right now.

Or you guys lookin for JVR +?

I don't think anybody really knows what his value is. I've been saying for a while I think his value is more likely a 2nd + 3rd, or a 2nd + an expendable prospect. I just don't think teams want to give up a lot for a player who is still a question mark in terms of how effective he's going to be.

Ok cool. Cuz thats along the line of what I was thinking too.

Both firsts.

 

[devilsblood]

If Hossa is LTIR why do Hawks need to get rid of it?

 

[The Wumpus]

I hope we get a really nice return, not just to help the team, but also to stick it to those folks on the main board that think Kovy is some sort of washed up nobody and that we should be happy to get a 5th rounder if anything.

I also hope this wraps up tonight, because ugh.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I kinda want a 2nd + 3rd back just to see who Shero will trade for next July.

 

[AfroThunder396]

-Counts against the summer cap
-Prevents them from accruing cap space for deadline deals

Mirco Mueller.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Mirco Mueller.

I'd be down for a similar trade

 

[glenwo2]

I want a Assets!!!

A pirate's booty

And plenty of it.

 

[NJDevs26]

Well nobody said WHICH Monday he'd decide by

We better not have to go through another thread of this

 

[DerekDevils30]

There hasn't been much said on twitter aside from the fact it sounds like something is close and the Hawks have been added to the mix. There are likely a few solid options for Kovy. The Hawks would be tough to say no to.

The start of the Hawks stuff came from Slava Malmud. He's basically been wrong on everything about Kovy this far. He also says stuff like the Bruins are going to give an offer sheet to Eichel that Buffalo won't match. He's not quite incarcerated bob, but he's not that reliable.

 

[glenwo2]

Watch Kovy turn around and say "I'll play for the Devils" or some crazy shiznit like that.

Even if there's an "E5" in them?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Both firsts.

For both 1st's the Devils will need to retain a good amount on whatever contract Kovy gets (Would need to be multi-year)

Maybe.

But you're forgetting that not all 1sts are created equal, and given the BlackHawks are one of the better teams in the NHL, their 1sts are going to be presumed to be only marginally better than high 2nd rounders. Something like #23 to #31. It's not like we're talking about a #5 and a #11. This absolutely factors into the equation.
