They move Sharp over losing Seabrook or Hammer, they have way better forward prospects int he system, such as Teravainen.

They will be an interesting team to watch this summer, once the cap is set, they will know if they can gamble signing him for a big contract or have to trade him so they don't lose him for nothing.

Same as the Wild, they have some interesesting moves to make, probably will have to cut some big salary somewhere (Mikko)

I hope Chicago gets hampered like Boston does because of the cap.

Agreed. you cant lose Seabrook and plan on being competitive for the cup.
- jake24242


but with the cap situation, I think they would start to listen if the deal was right, before they would just hang up the phone.

If you can put together the right package, Im sure they would start thinking about it

And that makes you just as bad as some of them. Just because someone follows a team that isn't a contender doesn't make them dumb. A few exceptions are out there, though.
- CreepyPasta

I never said they were dumb, they have a false sense of entitlement though because there team won cups way back in the day. They come in here and act as though there team is hot poop.

I'm thinking Petry on an expiring contract is going to be of no use to them in a Yandle trade.

My hope is that they're doing poorly and thus aren't really looking for roster assets coming back the other way.

Realistically: Klefbom, Nurse, 2015 + 2016 picks, Nikitin or Ference if they want them, literally any forward prospect not named Draisaitl would be on the table.

- Morris


What about adding Shultz to that list? I would prefer putting him in a package over Nurse and klefbom. I do think Nikitin would be one of the guys to try and trade as well, if possible. As for Ference, I have a feeling he wouldn't waive his NMC.

I would be fine with:
Yandle - Fayne
Marincin - Petry
Ference - Klefbom

Thats fine but that goes for any players.
- jake24242


I agree we need to overpay to get what we need, that is how supply and demand works but I just don't think we should talk about it right now.

Depends on what they have developing. I honestly don't know how good the Hawks' D-pool is outside of a couple of players, but losing Seabrook wouldn't be the end-all to contending.

Hes a number 1 dman package, even though hes really a number 3

Funny or not, makes you out as a douche. And only lowers the quality of any points you make. Y'know?

Its true but that team would need to be giving up a future seabrook and I think the bottom teams are finally learning you cant do that and expect to win with a older player because the top teams keep staying elite when you give them a few young pieces to stay under the cap and they turn out just as good as what they gave away.

I could see one more cup out of them before the current core is gutted. But I do see Kane and Toews retiring with four cup rings each.

He'd be a top pairing on about 5-10 teams. A 2nd pairing on the rest of the teams. He could develop into a top pairing on about 20-25+ teams when he's in his prime.

We have our guards up for a reason. And most of us get pretty fed up with a lot of the bullpoop that gets spewed in here. It happens.

He took a defensive posture and took your previous post out of context. I'll give you that. But I still think the insults were uncalled for. He's actually quite the intelligent guy. Just hit a nerve as with many Oiler fans over the Myers debacle.
