Speculation: Trading with LA?

[Rick C137]

Wasn't sure where to put this but:



Blackhawks interested in Sam Gagner again, per report

Gagner for Manning? Please?

 

[LDF]

wouldn't the idea of having Chad Krys-LHD hanging in the wings ready to step in be a perfect send off ??

You're saying you want to move Krys to LA?

Since him and Beaudin are our only LHD with top 4 upside, I wouldn't be too keen on moving Krys.

no.... i meant that Krys is in the wings to take a position, maybe as early as late next season. so Muzzin will keep that position warm for Krys for when he is ready.

I think he’s saying Krys could take over for Muzzin in 2 years.

Oh I see. The problem is then we have to worry about moving Muzzin later. I don't see the point of grabbing temporary pieces when we're not competing this year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Muzzin is signed for next year and can be extended this offseason at age 30 for additional years (4 years for instance) thus making him part of Hawks team the next 5 years after this one

I guess the idea would be to get Muzzin to compete next year and bridge the gap to the young D, then either let him walk or sign a short term extension. They probably want to compete next season.

either way, the org has a group of prospects that can help other teams ...... the org can't use them all. we, the team is in a good position esp if SB can use that cap to help the org....

We don’t know which prospects will help the club until they develop and arrive. It’s shortsighted to trade those prospects now.

Some will bust, you don’t know which ones, and you need cover for those players that will ultimately bust.

 

[goldenbladz1]

I’d be down for this. He has a great shot and would be a cheaper alternative to Panarin to play with Kane since Cat and Strome work so well together.

and maybe he can score 8pts for us instead of against us.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Forsling + 2020 1st for Muzzin provided Hawks have chance to talk to Muzzin agent about his clients interest in signing extension this summer

If Hawks and Muzzin camp can find comfortable assurance a deal can get done you pull trigger then in summer announce extension for Muzzin

If Hawks indeed plan to be players in FA and try to get back to competing in 2020 the 1st wont matter as much

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The Kings need to get younger and faster. AA helps with neither. But who knows they might just be shuffling deck chairs.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Muzzin is interesting but we shouldn’t be moving futures.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Muzzin is interesting but we shouldn’t be moving futures.

Exactly. No problem moving certain futures for a 22-23 something who has already proven to be an NHLer, but not for a guy about to be 30.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

They need to see what they have in these prospects though. It’s gonna be bad if Bowman chooses one to go, and he turns into the next Josi.

I'm not against moving the 2020 1st since I think we can compete next season, but I'm not moving it for Muzzin. In fact I wouldn't move it until the 2020 trade deadline just to be sure.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

No way am I moving a first round pick for a guy like Muzzin.

 

[LDF]

No way am I moving a first round pick for a guy like Muzzin.

i agree with that, esp in the 2020 draft.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What about a guy like Derek Forbort?

SAH LHD who will be turning 27 this year. If Kings make him available he would be type of defender who would fit with Hawks if intention is for a quick turnaround/retool not rebuild

 

[RememberTheRoar]

They need to see what they have in these prospects though. It’s gonna be bad if Bowman chooses one to go, and he turns into the next Josi.

Yep, some will boom and some will bust. Choose the wrong one to send out and you just f***ed this franchise again.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

i agree with that, esp in the 2020 draft.

You just said you wanted to move prospects for him...

Do you cause pileups in your brain with all the quick lane-changing you do? I mean at least use your turn signal before cutting across three highway lanes.

what is his up side ??

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Stable SAH 2nd pairing defender

For a first? Pass. We need to rehab the entire defense. Forsling looks like at minimum he’ll be a guy and Joker looks like a second pairing type floor with top pairing upside. We’ve got no idea if Boqvist Mitchell Beaudin pan out.
