Quoting: Hawksguy81
Unless Kyle from Chicago makes a move for another vet D man, yes, he's probably done until the trade deadline. As for the trades. Dickinson and Johnson both half retained are definite candidates. Don't think either get a 2nd back unless they are having monster years though. 3rd or 4th seems more likely for both. Edmonton trade favors Oilers in my opinion. Hawks essentially trading Murphy, 2 picks and Mrazak for Ceci. Don't think Hawks do that. Ottawa trade favors the Hawks. Sens don't swap a 1st for a 3rd to dump Joseph. And if they move Joseph, no need to move Kubalik for a poor return like Katchouk and Hardman. They keep Kubs or trade him for a much better return. Interesting ideas though!!
Fair enough, might be a little light on the Hawks return from Oilers.
I don't agree on the Ottawa assessment, they would favor the 5mish in cap space this year, and a hair under 3m for the next 2 years, especially with cheap replacement level players in return. Chi would have to move the 2 players just to make the roster work. This gives Ottawa the flexibility to waive them, and bump up players or to make another move at the TDL for a playoff push. The first is also the later of the two, and if it's the Detroit pick that comes with a bunch of conditions already.
I would think that GMs would actually look at these AGMs, as they are made up of many people looking at the same things they are. It's an accumulation of brain power so please add your thoughts and move ideas! Let's keep the conversations going!
Cause you never know lol!
And thank you all for the well thought out feedback, and thoughts. We may not always agree on everything but we communicate variance in thoughts so we'll! I appreciate you all!
