No thanks. We'd call up Othmann in any scenario where Wheeler falls off.

My hope is that TRad brings at the least a 1st rounder considering it will come from a playoff team and in this example a pick in the 50's and another in the 80's really does nothing for the Hawks who have made a LOT of picks the last 2 drafts and have a LOT more stacked up in the next few drafts.

Kurashev for return of a 3rd and a 5th becomes a question of why? Hawks have no cap concerns and he is young enough that if he blossoms he could be a complimentary piece in a better team in a few years. Picks in the 3rd and 5th likely never even play an NHL game.

To answer your question on Moore...probably hinges on what kind of a season he has at Minnesota and the WJC. I would think definate maybe and hope his season is such that it is a real option.

I think NYR call up othmann if they need more offense/youth to the lineup

If anything they’ll need maybe better depth defenseman

Reichel hasnt done enough to earn that 7 Mil contract.. yet.

Im not giving him that contract yet.

Right now Reichel is going to get a 1 year prove it deal. I wouldn't even give him a 7 year $5M contract just yet. He's looked good in two games bad in another, but still zero points and a minus 3. Let's just allow the situation to play out.

Artyom Levshunov is exactly who I'd be draft in the #3/#4 slot as well. If they get #1/#2...Then things get interesting. Cole Eiserman and Macklin Celebrini are dang good players.

To answer the title, Moore probably takes 2 years in minnesota. One and done is so rare these days even for top players unless youre in that Cooley/Fantilli tier. Hes started the NCAA season as a 2C, so very very unlikely hes going to be a top line NHL center within a year. I wouldnt be entirely shocked if he did make the jump bc hes an incredible skater but I'd bet the front office wants to let him be a top line C at a top program next year and learn to dominate so he can hit the ground running in the NHL

Why on earth would Hawks sign Mantha let alone for that much? Guy is working his way out of the league.
Time will tell how Raddysh plays this year. If he builds on last year there will be suitors sniffing around at the trade deadline considering how low his cap hit is.
No rushing Moore ( or anyone for that matter) , if he is ready fine but let’s not force it.

Cant think Bedard doesnt get at least 2 years at center. Moore will likely spend a year in the AHL or return to college. I could see Dach making the Hawks top 6 next year, his camp looked excellent.
