I like all of these. Most of the fan bases will say no per usual on this site.

I’m having trouble thinking Saad is being traded. If Hawks think they just need to tweak things, then Saad is likely considered an important piece going forward. If they think they’re not close (they aren’t) then the Boston trade is very good for both sides and helps Hawks.

I heard a report of Gus to Pittsburgh. Not sure what the return would be.

I don't think the hawks are close and would be smart to move saad while the price is high (what they should have done with gus last year), and also it is smart to move him because we are gonna be in cap trouble if we dont shed some money as his 6 mil would help a lot

Hey I’m with you. It’s just that I will be very Saad if he is traded. Lol

Two "firsts" for kinda dumping Saad and his hefty US$6Mil per would likely mean Krug cannot be re-signed.
For the record, Boston has key re-signings UFA Krug, RFAs DeBrusk, Grzelcyk and Bjork, and Halak will have to be replaced as it's doubtful he stays (point = cap issues in 2020-21).
Moreover, Saad wouldn't be protected for the expansion.
* Now while it's doubtful he is taken by the Kraken, there is that remote chance (making him essentially a rental) and that needs to be factored by the GM.
Trade needs re-structuring...

PS: think Backes...

Edmonton doesn't need Maata. No idea if the value is right or not, it's just the wrong trade partner.
