i think Strome and Kubalik can be real slam dunk signings

CHI is in a complete rebuild they wont just let go those two guys that may have a little value. I think that they will qualified them and flip them after.

I’m hopeful, some nice ties that could bring them both to TOR🤞

I like everything but the 4th line

Idk it doesnt feel right to me

Guess we will find out in a few days

Bob McKenzie already reported Hawks are probably not qualifying either guy and if they were to be traded it would have been at the TDL or Draft

Teams are just waiting as with the Keith retirement and everyone leaving probs not great to keep em

Hayden - At 6’3”, 223 lbs 104 hits, 24 blocked shots, fights, quick to defend his teammates. Adds an element to the 4th line they are missing.

I was thinking

Engvall-Eakin-Lazar

Speed-Another Defensive C - and a Pest who does it all

I like it but looks too expensive

Yeah Eakin probs gonna cost to much

The other I saw was

Engvall-Brooks-Gaudette but to me that raises to many questions for what you want in a 4th line. Seems more like a borderline teenage line

I want our 4th line to bash crash and chip in here and there

Honestly if hes not asking for to much a Brian Boyle 4th line return would be fun

Engvall-Boyle-Anderson would combine Vet presence, speed, and some grit

That’s who Hayden is.

I’d be ok him as a 4C. It also gives you the option of running a Marlies 4th line of call ups (whoever is rolling) Steeves Douglas McMann etc

Dylan Strome will not receive a qualifying offer from the Blackhawks, per source. The former No. 3 pick will be a UFA.Strome averaged nearly a point a game over the second half of the season as the No. 1 center between DeBrincat and Kane. His QO would have been $3.6 million.
