Screw the Blackhawks. Easy no.

Same for the Miller deal. Not interested in quantity over quality, thanks.

As a hawks fan thats a yes but I knew instantly the Nucks fans would say NO. The hawks may have to add another pick to that. You never know what teams draft boards look like. Van may have a guy they love that they know they can get at 19 so they are willing to move back those 8 spots gain assets and open cap up but still get the guy they want. I don't think people understand how the business part of hockey works.

Hawks probably accept

I swap the '23 TBL 2nd with VAN's '24 2nd. That gives VAN the opportunity to poach Byram from COL or Miller from NYR.

That's the rumored deal from Powers at the Athletic, so why not. Picks are right on the button as far as fair value. Garland is a good player and if taking him for essentially nothing makes this happen, I say yes. I wonder if you could expand this to include Myers in a one stop cap purge....maybe add Myers and change the 2nd to a 3rd?

I'll hang up the phone for COL. Want nothing to do with JT Miller.

Compher is going to get paid, too, given the weak UFA forward class. His # definitely starts at $5M

Another easy no for the Avs.
