The Seabrook Conundrum...

[LDF]

stan got caggiula for brandon manning so who do we get for a three time cup winner thats a great lockerroom guy by the way

then they look at this age and see the yrs on his contract.

deal killer.

 

[LDF]

seabrook will sit at home before that happens...also theres approximately zero comparable trades to the one you describe...back to the drawing board

no he won't...... esp when he cash his salary.......

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Never underestimate the stupidity of GM’s.

 

[ClydeLee]

If teams are acquiring Gudbranson for whatever reason, what's different than a similar player who can still throw an occasional slapper and stretch pass to their foolish minds.

Lol

There's zero comparable contract to Seabrooks. And you're right, that Seabs will sit at home, counting 6.875mil per year.

what a idea, sit home with a uncertified injury collecting his salary.

but we are talking about Seabs here..... doing a interview about how important of a role he can be as a #3-4 d-man to any team.

unbelievable..... i really wonder if he has anything there, between his ears.

I've been thinking about this and actually my sympathy for Seabrook decreased after reading Bobby Ryan's comments about being scratched.

On the one hand I appreciate it was an honest emotional reaction but on the other hand I don't think it was good for the team. I don't expect Seabrook to be scratched for every game but given his level of play it's not unfair that he is among that rotating group. And if the team wins without you it is not unreasonable that the coach goes with the same lineup.

Trading Seabrook absolutely would help. I would remove the urge of JC/Stan/Others to play him. Addition by subtraction.

But they, like getting rid of the Bickell contract, would be the 'pot sweetener'. I wouldn't want to see a young exciting player ala say Kubilik or others get thrown in to make the deal happen.

LOL Kubalik is nowhere near enough to make Seabrook go away.

Better just use him as a #7 d-man.

Boom:

“You can go home and be mad and curse the coach, curse the GM and curse whoever you think you need to. But it’s not going to get you anywhere. So I’ve decided to be proactive and take it as a lesson to be better.”

Can the Hawks trade Seabrook for Ryan? Wishful thinking. THAT is how you should respond to being a healthy scratch. With the humility that being a healthy scratch dictates.

f*** Seabrook.

"I think I've been playing good." Sure Seabs. Sure.

: "I don't think I need rest. I think I feel great, I'm 34, you guys seem to want to write articles about my age and my speed," said Seabrook. "I feel like I still got a lot to offer in this league and still be a good player for somebody."

These are exacts comments from a player that doesn't want to accept responsibility and put in hard work on and off the ice. Instead of him taking this as a message (whether it was or not) and using it to motivate him, he is basically trying to protect his image as valuable, to the media and probably to himself.

 

[Fire Stan Bowman]

now that Seabs have come out and ummmm talked about problem from his end......

will the club remove the "A" from his sweater permanently.

oh i hope so..

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Never underestimate the stupidity of GM’s.

True

I mean it was an NHL GM (Stanley) who gave this horrendous contract to Seabrook in first place

But sadly teams usually don't bail out other teams by taking what is the worst contract in NHL off there hands (To be fair Erik Karlsson deal may overtake Seabrook soon if it hasn't already)

So the key to getting rid of Seabrook is getting Bowman hired by another franchise as GM. Seems difficult task to accomplish

Can someone just hire Chia already?

Don't give Stanley any ideas!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

We can't trade Seabrook to ourselves.

.... or can we....? New mad cap math incoming?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

No but Stanley may bring him on as advisor to tell him how good a job he is doing

Sitting Seabrook REALLY helped last night.

But did it hurt the team? If our players with speed struggled imagine how Seabrook would have done...

Sitting him did nothing to help. 51 SOG.

Oh yeah I’m sure KFC’s slow ass would have really helped against the quick puck movement of the Preds.

He would have corkscrewed himself to China on that power play goal where they went around the horn in a triangle for the goal.

I would argue that shots would have been worse. Imagine replacing K4 with another Gus out there.

Are you reading your posts? KK is somehow a competent NHL D-man?

Sadly, that’s the worst possible take.

Gus was even more pathetic then Seabrook in front of net

At least Seabs once in a while shows that old Seabrook

Gus couldn't be bothered to put in any effort

his numbers would say he's more competent than Seabrook...neither will play when Murphy is back so...
