Sounds like a no go on Filpulla, not that they were in:

@CapFriendly
Another point to consider: If Filppula is traded, his NMC would still survive. Therefore the acquiring team would still need to protect him.

Stan is offering few if any chips of value if his current sales pitch has McNeill and Pokka as the bait.

I'm prepared for the "we like our team" presser at the end of the TDL.

Either can be traded in my view. Although as JJ alluded to the "change of scenery" thing can apply here. I've liked neither in my times I've seen them.

Now they can expose them and protect Hartman and TVR.

All rozy has to do is play 3 more games. Tootoo is already over 70 for the pat 2 years and is 4 away from 40 this year.

had to for expansion eligibility

...and if they don't get chosen not a lot of $$ to carry.

Rozsival's deal is for $650,000; Tootoo for $700,000

Rozsival's deal is for $650,000; Tootoo for $700,000 Cheap. Both can be buried next season if needed.

I bet he gets them. There's your 2F and 1 D

The original trade proposal for Dutch, i was told, involved Kruger as part of a large package going the other way, with a planned additional cap reduction this summer. Of about $3 million.
- John Jaeckel

Hmmm......so maybe get rid of a $6M salary, give his replacement $2.5-3M raise and sign the new replacement for league minimum. Be a little less than $3M saved.......but damn close.

in reply to Al Cimaglia

@AlCimaglia @BrianHedger since both are under $925k, you can waive them and have $0 cap hit as well

Meh, the Hawks 4th line in 2010 was Madden (SLOW) Burish (MEDIUM SLOW) and Eager (PRETTY SLOW AND DUMB)

They only need to eat 8 mins \ night and not be stupid.

Jurco Dutch Hossa hella fast and hellah good in every situation. PAC just super good. and Schmalz Panic and Toews is an eclectic mix that may just work. Especially with some juicy match ups.
- fattybeef

Fatty I usually agree, but not on the bolded. Eager was a first rounder cuz of his speed. He disrupted the play of the other teams defense. Sometimes he got there at the same time or even before the D man could retrieve the puck. He was fast.

Buried or exposed for expansion?

Yep...I guess no harm and it could work out for the vets as well.

- jt19

I think he needs to get a qualifying offer, not necessarily be resigned.

@RumorBreak has NSH as being in the discussion for Filpula. Makes sense since TBL were trying to land D (shattenkirk). Would NSH part with a defenseman for Filpula?

How about this -
From COL - Mitchell and Tyutin
From Chi - Krueger, McNeil, Pokka, 2018 2nd

Buried or exposed for expansion?
- phantasmo

Exposed first, buried if not picked.

How does resigning these aging scrubs help with expansion? You still can protect ONLY x number of players. TVR would still be available for expansion if you protect 2, 7 and 4.

Either can be traded in my view. Although as JJ alluded to the "change of scenery" thing can apply here. I've liked neither in my times I've seen them.
- kwolf68

Issue is if these two guys, Desi, Gus and any other Rockford player is all that is offered, what can they possibly get in return?

Other teams' McNeills, Pokkas and Desis.

These extensions for Tootoo and Rozsival make it seem like something is happening soon. The timing can't be coincidence can it?

I mean, both guys have proven they aren't regulars in the NHL at this point.

Jurco has only played one game for the Hawks. I liked what I saw, but I'm not gonna go and say he's gonna be a staple in the lineup just yet.
- BlazinMike

Neither am I.

Not if someone gets traded today or tomorrow.

- kwolf68

because they have to expose at least X numbers of players too and signing these guys helps that

My question is WHAT? Why would resigning those two have any bearing on anything, unless Stan is trying to put together a beer league team.

My fingers accidentally got that flag button next to the post. What's that for??
