I figured I see CHI offer Nylander the moon.

There's a lot wrong with this.

1) I don't think Stamkos takes 2 years. He'll likely want to stay in Tampa.
2) I can't see signing Stastny to a 4th line role. With the free agent class of 2024 being a big one, they should make a splash for a 2C.
3) Don't think we need to qualify Entwistle, Johnson, or Katchouk. They're 4th line fringe NHL players who can be replaced with younger, speedier players we have in the system.
4) No need for Tinordi. See #3.
5) I would also expect to make a splash at defense as well in FA 2024.

Stamkos is 33, and will be 34 by this time next year, and the fact that he hasn't been re signed yet also kindof concerns me. Hawks need RW depth, I think he offers that

As for Statsny, I still think hawks will want to be bad enough that season and make another 4th line vet deal to hit the cap, if not it doesn't really matter, the move isn't that big anyways

I think Katchouk would be a decent 4th liner, he's young anyways, as for the 2 others i just have them as healthy scratch placeholders, they could honestly be anybody but with the reese johnson re signing (I think last year?) It was mentioned how much they liked the leadership he brought to the room, and grit he brought to the game. Same think for Entwistle, although both players do stink if i'm honest. I'm not basing this off my decision, I just think that the hawks would like to keep them just a while longer especially since they're young but if not, again not a big deal I could definently see them leaving

See #3, Hawks had him wearing the A last season so I don't think we let him walk, give him a healthy scratch role or something along those lines

It seems more and more like Kyle is targeting the 2025-26 FA class, it's been pretty obvious via the moves he's been making lately. As for defense, I don't think you can or even want to make a splash because your right side is stuffed (Unless you want a 3RD splash?, or trade Murphy), and LD too unless you want to send somebody like Kaiser, Vlasic, or somebody along those lines down(Phillips, Roos,EDM), it's another year of being bad-ish and focusing on defensive development.

Stamkos is staying in Tampa. He loves it in FL, and as long as the Bolts are trying to compete, he's not leaving. Hawks will probably target a big money, top 6 forward in free agency but it won't be Stammer.

I agree guys like Anderson, Entwistle, Tinordi and Johnson won't be back. They aren't part of the future and are easily replaced. Rather see guys like Dach, Slaggert and Tepley get some NHL ice time than roll out those guys for another year.

I wouldn't mind making an RD splash and moving Jones and Murphy down the lineup. My opinion based on zero facts is Davidson will want to start competing for a playoff spot for the 25-26 season.

I don’t want to say I told you so… but I told you so. LOL. Stammer 2024 🔜🔜🔜

Why? Because he hasn't signed an extension yet? Means nothing. Stammer stays in Tampa.

but you can't deny it's becoming more and more of a possibility everyday

Sure, it's possible. But I still think the likely scenario is he re-signs in Tampa and remains a Bolt. And with the cap going up $4m next season, Stammer would probably sign with a team that's a real cup contender rather than the Hawks if he does decide to leave Tampa.
