Not that bad of a deal in my opinion.. Darnell Nurse is the type of D-man we need; Khaira has good size, good for our 4th line... Play Lucic with Kadri...

- PatC80

the thought I had in mind was

move Nylander to center - play him with Lucic and Johnsson... both Johnsson and Nylander like to handle the puck, take time set-up... by then Lucic can catch up.

Lindholm, Goat or Altonen as the 4th line center..

I agree, but I wanted him to clarify his comparison of Thomas Chabot to Bobby Orr and him winning several Norris trophies in the coming years. I will certainly laugh my ass off when the Sens announce that they will hand over the 4th pick to Colorado this week, because they have no chance of picking worse next year.

that's not true anymore... the guy they got from San Jose will win all the Norris Trophies

You might be right, but if the Canes move a big d-man, it is more likely they are interested in a forward. Their scoring is an issue, I don't see how they could justify moving a 6'3" d-man for a 5'8" d-man. It will take DeBrusk ++ from the Bruins at the very least imo. You might not think much about Kapanen - but he is one of the best skaters around and has some potential.

It would likely signal that they want Faulk to go because he was their usual throughline on the PP.

would you rather a bad trade or no trade?

while everyone is ripping Dorion over the Hoffman nonsense... how do you feel about the Habs sending their franchise #1 center/sorry top line winger to the Coyotes for the spawn of Tie?

A deal like that would work;

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Tavares - Marner
Lucic - Kadri - Kapanen
Grundstrom - Khaira - Brown

on D;

Rielly - (RHD via trade, like Trouba or Pesce)
Nurse - Zaitsev
Dermott - Hainsey

I feel like there is a 3rd option...like SJ..make a good trade

don't like the trade but the whole league knew Galchenyuk was struggling with cocaine addiction and even did a couple summers of rehab.

Domi wasn't a total bust last year though - he scored 9 goals! And only 4 of them were empty netters.

I thought as of last year these were one and the same?

She settled on this look in the end

Why wouldn't Hoffman dump that broad? She must be able to suck-start a Harley, huh huh

Don't be silly. HB forums are no place for common sense. Shame on you.

There is word today that Artemi Panarin has told CLB that he is not ready to consider an extension “at this time.” (UFA July 2019.) As a result, the Blue Jackets are testing the market for him.

Canadian price

I don't see that getting it done. Boston is very interested and is rumored to possibly be offering up Krug + which is better than Kapanen and 25 (sparks isn't much IMO)
- RickJames77

opinions vary... but that may not matter

one significant difference.. which probably is material for Carolina... Krug makes north of 5M for the next 3 years, none of Kapanen, Sparks or 1st rounder will make that amount.

To Ottawa:

#8, #27, 2019 1st (likely a lottery pick bc Stan Bowman ruined the Hawks), Gustav Forsling (22 yr old 200ft D with 80 NHL games already)

To Chicago:

#4, Erik Karlsson


You think you'll get more for Karlsson? I guess time will tell.....you know deep down there's little to no chance he re-signs in OTT so you could lose him for nothing!

Holy poop.

If that were to happen, which Hawks player develops the same "jock itch' that took down Hossa?
