Rumor: Trade Deadline- What to Do?? Deals..Deals...Deals...

[Kevin Musto]

That doesn't sound like an irrational idea. Still, we have no clue what these guys value.

For sure. I just thought it was an interesting idea since I never considered it.

Some ESPN article on the Hawks brought up an interesting point. If Q signs with another team, the vets would be more likely to waive their NMCs to play for that team.

That would be great.

Ya, me neither. Definitely interesting idea.

The team would have to want said vet though. Only vet with a NTC that I’m interested in trading is Seabrook so I think it’s a non-factor.

It is not out of the realm of possibility to move Seabrook but it would cost the Hawks dearly as any other team would want decent picks and prospects just to take him. Seabrook should retire instead of just keeping on making a fool of himself because of his slowness.

Woudn't the recapture hit be pretty bad if Seabrook retires?

Unless the new CBA has a compliance buyout, moving Keith's contract is the only viable option.

Seabrook isn’t a recapture contract, correct me if I’m wrong.

What would it cost? Some retention + Sikura? I’d do that because I don’t think Sikura’s game will appease Colliton.

Correct. Keith is our only remaining recapture contract--and as such moving him should not be taken lightly. Seabrook is not a recapture so he can retire and not affect the 'hawks.

If only he’d just do the noble thing and retire...

Maybe they can cut a deal with him to immediately retire #7, and only list his name over it. Haha

 

[Rick C137]

There’s only one year of Seabrooks contract where he takes home less than 5mil and that’s the last year at 4.5. There’s no way hes walking away from all that money as a some kind of a gesture to the blackhawks, nor would I expect him to.

Really? So Seabrook can just retire and not cost the Hawks anything in regards to the cap? Can Rocky find Seabrook a job in the front office for lots of money?

Should’ve stopped at ESPN...

Or he can just straight up retire so we can use his cap hit during the offseason.

Didn't think so.

true, but I see him slipping on a piece of bacon in the next two years landing him on the LTIR shelf for a while..

Are there rules against paying a guy what he would've made on his contract in the event he retires?

I'm sure there is.

The NBA forced Dennis Rodman out of Mark Cuban's house because they thought it circumvented the salary cap. Rodman lived with Cuban while playing for the Mavericks.

The Hawks would have to mask it as a front office job.

Would the league be concerned with Seabrook getting $7.5 million as a scout next year? haha

Scout? Clearly that salary will be going towards Seabs becoming a full time hat designer!

Believe it or not, that's the fear of Nowitzki taking all these discounted deals the past 5 years. People think Cuban will pay Nowitzki $50mn to make a documentary about his basketball career after he retires.

Its impossible to prove but check out what Kirilenko and Prohkorov pulled off. It was awfully shady.

Seabrook won't make enough money off hats to retire. We need to have him become a hip-hop singer who gets a platinum record or two and is a multi Grammy winner. Only then will he be like "hockey isn't worth doing anymore, I'mma gonna do this from now on" and he retires from the game.

Do you think he's just gaining popularity in Germany now? Seems like Germany loves burned out former stars.
