Longshot? You have better odds of winning Lotto.

Chicago would reject this deal in an instant. When they moved the Cat and Dach, that represented a shot across the bow for Kane, Toews, and Dylan Strome. The message was that their days were numbered in the Windy City. They want young players and high draft picks. In your proposal, the draft picks we can quibble about, but I can assure you the Hawks have no interest in Nemeth and his $2.5 CAP HIT. Ryan is looking for $6M, will likely get $5.5M+. Dylan will likely be a two-year bridge deal approaching a CAP hit of $4.5M - $5M. You proposal doesn't have enough free cap space to handle either one of them.

If the Hawks keep this fire sale up they’re gonna need players to hit the Cap Floor

You may be onto something!! A race to the bottom (of the CAP hit). Bravo.

And they literally just traded for Mrazek with his 3.34 GAA and .888%. Nemeth is a better Dman at 2.5 million than Mrazek is at 3.8 million

True. But both are "launchable."

They literally aren't even qualifying Strome lmao.

Lmao how? It's more than doable since Dylan isn't getting qualified.

It's an awesome idea and I love the Lindgren brother connection also.

It's close but the Strome "brother discount" is probably too deep for reality and next year gets nuts trying to fit all the RFA's in.

Lmao....how you getting Ryan to sign a 3 year deal and at that salary? Gun point?

The OP may be about a mil short on him, but he's also about a mil over on Dylan. So it evens out. Also could see Chytil being moved if both Stromes signed. So again, it works.

Yeah, the math works if you make it stuff up, but the chance it happens is ZERO in the real world. Strome wants a longer term and Rangers won't give it to him.

As a Ranger fan, I'm surprised that the Hawk fan would have anything to do with Nemeth, even with tree picks being offered. That said, doesn't work for the NYR, because there are a whole bunch of other CAP issues they will be facing now and in the future. They can take on one, but not both. Your cap hits are light by $1M or so on both.

If Dylan gets close to 5mil I don't want him anywhere near NY lmao

I don't disagree with you. Dylan can ask, but I don't think any GW will bite. The number I put out was to establish a "lofty ceiling."
