Chicago isn't going to trade one of their best defencemen for a decent prospect and a 4th liner, especially with Kruger, their go to bottom 6 forward, going the other way. The trade doesn't make sense for them, they don't need an unproven prospect, and losing Hjalmarsson creates a huge hole in their D lineup.

Yeah, good call. Added a little to it, may still not be enough. Hawks definitely need to shed some salary and these are two contracts I wouldn't mind taking on.

I don't like that Habs trade for the leafs. that Chicago trade would never happen and you aren't getting a backup who earns more than your starter

I like every trade here buddy except I doubt Toronto would trade bozak to the habs haha. I don't understand why people don't give shosh and leipsic credit I think both players are capable of top 9 roles they just need the opportunity. We get a top 4 dman and a proven bottom 6 C who can kill penalties and win faceoffs. I really like the jvr trade , karri is only 1 year and there's a possibility they could trade him for more picks or prospects and we get a first as well like it. For dallas it makes sense they get a proven top 6 forward who could ven slot in with the big line and good PP execution and they get rid of the horrible contract. I like the franson signing I have always thought the leafs should of kept him in the first place , and ill take Justin Williams on my team any day. The length of those contracts are well done as well. The only thing I would like to see is maybe dallas retaining 1.5-2 mill on the contract and switch the 3rd to a 4th.
