MAF isn't going just anywhere....it's got to be a legit contender..this may be his last hoorah.....that's Washington, Pitt and Colorado if you're listening to the chirping.....not sure Edmonton has what it takes. Then, it becomes the best offer....probably a goalie, a 1st and maybe mid level prospect. Kubalik has taken a step back---since Toews ain't what he was, it seem to have impacted him, but there seems to be something wrong with his ice positioning to shoot the puck too. If he takes a million more for a couple more years, then I would keep him in case there's a resurrection, but I would not pay him much more....could be a one season wonder. DeHaan is gone and I'm sure there's a lot of playoff teams looking to bolster their D ....he'll probably fetch a 3/4th, IMO. Strome has to go and probably wants out....right now, he might get a 2nd, but don't know who really could use him. Hagel is a great value...and plays the game in a unique manner---especially on the Hawks...but everyone is available for the right price or should be....I don't think he'll be moved though....every team needs a few good values to populate their team and Hagel and Murphy are it....Ideally, it would be nice to get some young talent like LaPerriere from the Caps, Holloway from Edmonton or Gauthier from the Rangers.....need some talented grit infusion.
