Lot of wishing and hoping that the bottom 8 forwards and bottom 3 Dmen and Kinkaid can come so cheap. You really have to think one of the Hawks higher priced guys have to be traded. They all have NMCs except for one, Panarin.

I don't think Panarin is going anywhere at this point. I think the hawks would be fine moving Crow and signing Darling to a 2 year 3 million per deal but it'll be a hard move to make. But is it really worth moving a big contract just for two years of Panarin? Thats the real question, he may not stay after.

There's no point in trading Rasmussen especially if the Hawks are giving up Kruger.

Ras will want too much. Big difference between league minimum 650 and what was may want.

Rasmussen will not demand too much, he might want 800,000 next year

I can't see Ras getting too much money. He's an RFA and on a two way deal now. He'll accept a TVR type deal.

Agreed, if you move Kruger you must keep Moose. And he will be cheap.

Kero, not Raz is the replacement for Kruger. Q likes Kero in Kruger's role when Kruger has been injured this season.
