Hawks back on top

Habs can offer more for Tavares

Bruh Habs can't offer a cup contending team to JT, the money is basically irrevelant........ Why do you think Stamkos stayed in Tampa for 8.5m??

Jeez man JT would take an offer from CHI hundred times before taking one from the Habs.

Hawks won't bring in Traveres, it's too rich for them over the next couple years without shedding major cap space like Seabs. Fair trade for Anisimov. Murphy trade is bad for Hawks unless it's just a cap dump. Pateryn is nothing more then a 3rd pairing and the Hawks have a log jam on the 3rd pairing D with Gus, Forsling, Oesterle, Rutta and up and coming Ian Mitchell, Blake Hillman, Jokiharju (which you didn't create space for), whoever they draft likely a D player....none of these players are top 3 roles (unless Jokiharju or a draftee like Bouchard pan out) and that's where the Hawks need the most help. Contract is too much for Hino, he will likely get a bridge deal between $1.25M and $1.75M. Duclair is too high, the guy hasn't shown a lot and he is injured, can't see his contract being higher then $1.5M give or take. Martinsen will also likely get a deal, the guy was great as a an agitator and won't cost beyond $900K. No way is Schmaltz on the 4th line and also don't think he should be a Center anymore with a horrible faceoff percentage. Kampf has the 4th line C on lock right now. Where is Sikura? Besides Traveres, the forwards lines just look bad.

Exactly. Montreal though would improve with Tavares on their roster, it certainly wouldn't make them a playoff team. They have a lot of problems that even Tavares couldn't fix.

I'll keep that in mind i guess.
