The Brent Seabrook deal was the worst thing Stan Bowman has done to the Hawks. I once made a list of things/deals that Bowman has done/made and highlighted the good and bad. There is some good but a lot of bad.
When Bowman started with the Hawks he was dealt a great hand. Great young players and an incredible farm system. Dale Tallon and his scouting team did a tremendous job building a strong system behind the scenes. Bowman made some good trades in the beginning. He made some good signings too. But as of late Bowman has done nothing but scramble and make bad deal after bad deal.
The Toews and Kane deals. I'm not one that is going to sit here and say how awful they are or that we need to get rid of them but 8 year $80 million should have been within reason instead of the 8 year $84 million. For the players that isn't a substantial amount when you're considering all of the endorsements they get on top of that. But it gives the Hawks $1 million more in cap space each year.
The sharp deal? Really? Johns should NOT have been a part of that deal. That is arguably why the Hawks are so weak on defense.
Daley for Scuderi? Really?
Signing the most played player in the league over the last 7 years to an 8 year, NMC, monster deal, that ends when he's 38/39? Are you kidding me?
With all of the NMC and NTC deals that they have now there is almost nothing they can do to manage around the cap anymore.
