Wow, NO WAY do the hawks sign Perlini and SIkura for that much; maybe 1/2 of that! Also not a chance the blues accept that trade nor will Keith or Seabs wave their contracts for the Blues or Yotes. Duchene will sign for at least $7.5M and Panarin is likely to get $9.5M. Duchene is not going to play top line with Toews in the fold. I love Panarin - Duchene - Kane, BUT on the 2nd line.

Beaudin won't be ready next year. You don't bring a rookie into the league (Ian Mitchell) and expect him to play on his off side. Where is Chad Krys, he should be playing on the left or Muprhy who has played on the left before? Hawks will promote Delia to backup at around $850K; that is pretty much a lock. If Hawks draft Hughes, Cozens or Dach, Anisimov will get traded. Hawks also have center prospects in Evan Barrat, Highmore, and Enwhistle.

This is just bad.

Signings are off...trades are off...everything is just off.

I do not follow the Hawks as well as you do, I will actually learn from your comments. If I posted this I would love to have you give your insight unlike "This is just bad. Signings are off...trades are off...everything is just off."

So I've been thinking about Hughes more so that hes actually a possibility now, BUT I need to see him play center. Hes VERY small. Yes hes young, yes hes soo talented I'd still draft him #1. I just think there needs to be a plan in place for the guys you draft #1OA. Otherwise you're EDM and AZ...blindly drafting and poorly using. The only comment I have is I'm still not sure the trade AA even if they draft Hughes. CHI will go after panarin...so being back the AK72 line??? $4.5M is a low cap for a #2C and AA can do that with 88 and 72. Hes done it. The rest 110% agreed

Except if the choice is Duchene or Ansimov, it's a no brainer!

Sure I mean if the cap works and both Duchene accepts and AA waives

AA has already submitted his 10 teams he would agree to a trade so if Hawks can make a deal with any of those 10 teams, he's gone. Apparently, as of this morning, Bowman has gotten calls from "multiple teams" inquiring about AA.

Sources?

MyNHLTradeRumors and SecondCityHockey both reported this

I'll take your word for it. I'm pretty up to date on both and hadn't seen this specifically, but I'm not perfect.

MyNHLTradeRumors just reported a few hours ago. SecondCity reported two days ago. In the off season it was widely reported the Hawks had AA submit his 10 teams which I believe there is no time limit on.

Ya know, I had that question when you wrote it and I actually dont know the answer...how long does the...list...last. I have no clue.
