Hawks 2018

First time doing this so be gentle lol tried to be somewhat realistic. Didnt think Pokka, and Kempny warranted much of a raise so i kept them around the 1 million range. Gave rasmussen just short of a million will admit i may be off on what he might fetch, meanwhile I didnt really know who to put as a backup so I just picked Enroth even if it isnt the most accurate

Not my first time and I think you did a good job. Most posts within the past hour or so forget the bonuses. Kempny is an odd situation. He has NHL talent, but he hasn't been responsible enough with the puck yet to get ice time. I'm sure he'll want more than $1M, but since he's a healthy scratch behind Forsling I don't see him getting big money at all. 100% agree with Rasmussen. He gets to remove the two-way portion of his contract and makes close to $1M. Panik is an RFA so if the Hawks don't sign him...they can probably get a lower draft pick from someone.

I doubt Kempny resigns with the Hawks next year if he keep being scratched. He was making more money in the KHL and playing well.

Not bad for your first time. I'm not sure I see Moose getting that much. He has been a good role player but doesn't offer a ton and it is only his 1st real season.
Pokka is hard to say but if he doesn't get any NHL time he won't make nearly $1M. He might be worth that as a player but with ZERO NHL experience and being a RFA he is going to have little bargaining power.


I have been thinking this all year. Play him or expect to lose him. He is worth some good money in the KHL and the Hawks aren't doing themselves any favors by not showcasing him for a possible trade at seasons end.
I can't see him getting more than $1M with the Hawks especially when he is being scratched half the season.

75 is a stretch for the cap. 74-74.5 is more realistic.
