Rumor: Trade Deadline - What TWO Do?

[Hawkaholic]

DSP took less money and term to stay on the Caps after their cup win.

These guys should NEVER give teams discounts.

I don't feel for him, it was his decision to do so.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I don't feel for him, it was his decision to do so.

I don’t feel bad for anybody who’s making in one year what I do in ten, but it’s absolutely a business and for fringe guys like DSP he absolutely should have gone with the best offer.

Definitely. I'm sure he knew the risks though.

 

[AmericanDream]

he will be fine, he will get another contract, Washington is literally one of the deepest teams there is..some of their better kids can't even get/stay in the lineup.

Well we can forget the Boston stuff

They just traded Donato + 5th for Coyle

 

[Kevin Musto]

So if Saad went to Boston, that would've been the return.

 

[puterwiz53]

So glad Bowman didn't do it. Saad is worth far more than Donato and a 5th.

Could be.

While Coyle is producing less than Saad, his contract is about half the price and has a year less than Saad.

That’s good to hear...considering breadman was traded for him.

Is this the opening of said flood gate?

Please sell high Stan!

 

[Kevin Musto]

Could be.

While Coyle is producing less than Saad, his contract is about half the price and has a year less than Saad.

At the very least, it's a rough estimate.

If I had to speculate, Stan was probably having discussions with them but didn't like the return.

Also if Stan is planning to acquire Wennberg, he'll want to keep Saad around.

Ya, that all seems reasonable to assume.

But maybe Stan surprises us and lands JFK for Fortin + Hayden or something?

Is there really a rush to get rid of Saad’s contract?

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Is there really a rush to get rid of Saad’s contract?

No. Did I imply there is?

If so, didn’t mean to.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Is there really a rush to get rid of Saad’s contract?

No rush whatsoever. Even if Stan makes a big signing we should be fine capwise as long as Anisimov is moved.

Unfortunately it doesn’t fix the defense though.

 

[RayP]

No. Did I imply there is?

If so, didn’t mean to.

I’m sick and haven’t been thinking clearly so may have read it wrong. My mistake.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

No worries, I’m getting sick too so I have sympathy for you.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Wild won that trade IMO. Coyle seems to be slowing down.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I disagree

I think Coyle will have Nino type turnaround away from Minny

 

[piteus]

Is there really a rush to get rid of Saad’s contract?

Nope. Saad is the least of our problems ... even with his contract. He's playing just fine.

 

[RayP]

No worries, I’m getting sick too so I have sympathy for you.

Some dick came to work sick, got everyone sick, THEN took the rest of the week off.

 

[ColdSteel2]

I disagree

Change of scenery could get Coyle going but it wasn’t happening in Minnesota, they’re better off with the cap space. The Nino trade was bad though, they should have got more for him.

 

[puterwiz53]

It is not necessary to trade Saad but is always good to entertain offers as I am sure Bowan is doing with other players as well. If a really decnt offer is made that really helps the Hawks that he should go for it. There is no real need to trade anyone unless the price is right. Need to get rid of few of the dead weights tho. Give them away if he has to.

 

[Kevin Musto]

We've got 2 scouts watching Colorado tonight. There's been quite a bit of scouting them.

Andrighetto for Hayden is something I'd like to see.

Maybe Zadorov and Jost are being looked at.

Should be noted that we are playing Colorado next so maybe this doesn't mean anything.

 

[Kevin Musto]

A total of 3 Toronto scouts are watching the Hawks-Wings game. Are they scouting Chicago or Detroit? Your guess is as good as mine, however there have been Toronto scouts present in the last few Hawks games.

 

[AmericanDream]

let's get Jensen out of Detroit, he would help our defense out IMO.
