Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XXVI

[Bazeek]

Sounds like he'll play in Iowa.

While other team's fans are laughing at the Hawks for the Saad/Panarin trade, Hawks' fans seem to be relatively good with it. Saad's game is more suited for the playoffs (big power-forward) and he's better defensively than Panarin. Panarin's next contract was going to be too expensive anyways for Chicago.

The Hjalmarsson trade probably weakens the Hawks, but Connor Murphy is, apparently, pretty good and still young. Hawks defense will have to lean on Keith more so if he gets hurt for an extended period of time that would likely sink their season.

Created a thread here.

I know Saad is a good player, but breaking up Kane and Panarin is a win for us.

Hjalmarsson + Panarin gone? Win-win.

2 thorns in the Wild's side gone...But Saad coming back is an even bigger one.

Rather have Saad with Kane than Panarin. And no more Hammer is huge.

 

[Uberdachen]

I like to imagine that Kane and Toews supposedly letting the Hawks know how much they missed Saad happened with Panarin standing right in between them.

Underrated trade of the day is ARI putting an end to all of the tired Stephan for Dumba trade proposals.

Was thinking the same thing The Coyotes done good though.

how many picks does MTL have in the 1st & 2nd? if we traded scanny for cap dump & picks what would you ask for & whats fair?

 

[Ace0813]

I'm sure it's been run into the ground, but can you guys provide a scouting report on Scandella? What's the deal with him?

 

[Wild11MN]

Crazy start to draft day. Love Saad as a player, but did not expect him to go back to Chicago.

Bigger LHD with a good to great shot, solid defensively, can achor a 2nd pair or be a compliment to a top RHD. Easily could play 20+ mins a night. Plays better with a defensive defenseman partner.

I was thinking with McAvoy, but in your perception he'd be better with Carlo then?

Nah, McAvoy is more similar to Spurgeon. McAvoy would compliment Scandella perfectly.

I meant more that Scandella doesn't play great with a free roaming offensive style D-man, but a guy that splits the game and plays positionally well is his best compliment.

I'd say he plays better with a good puck mover.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Holy crap. I got to lunch and comeback to the Blackhawk purge party.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

That's fair. I guess I meant he's better with a Spurgeon style as opposed to a Dumba style.

 

[Bazeek]

Dun dun dun...



Sounds about like what we've been expecting.

Not many guys play well with a partner who desert their post at every opportunity, creating odd man rushes on a constant basis.

 

[Bookman]

Sounds like maybe I should start reading up on potential first rounders after all.

 

[Minnesota]

I'd absolutely flip if we somehow weasled Pastrnak out of Boston.

Alas, Pastrnak >>> Scandella

Pretty sure that would result in a warrant for Fletcher's arrest in the state of Massachusetts.
