I feel Hinostroza gets a one year deal at 2+ million, or a multi-year deal around 1.5, just to make sure we don’t have a Panik repeat, and to just make sure he can sustain the good season he’s been having.

It’s alreay been made clear that Wingels might come back to Chicago in the offseason, and it seems like a good possibility.

Honestly, the Hawks probably won’t get Boqvist, but it’s fun to think about it.

Dylan Sikura will hopefully get a contract.

With Victor Edjsell coming in, Anisimov will be expendable after he works with Edjsell on being in front of the net on the power play.

I think we could see Berube get the backup spot next season, and Forsberg could get better in the minors. He's actually been pretty good this year, but the Crawford injury made him look worse.

The Arty trade just gets us a pick and cap space that isn't really needed, but it opens up a spot for the grand Hossa return that probably won't happen. But if he came back, it'd be a big help to a team that has struggled to both score and keep pucks out of their own net on certain stretches this year.

Hawks run with 7 d-man, rotating Seabrook, Forsling, and Boqvist for the 6th and 7th positions. Going with 7 defense means we have to go with 11 forwards up front, not 12. Kane can double shift on the 4th line with Kampf and Wingels, and occasionally getting the third line with Edjsell and Vinnie.
