With the retention, I might bite on this with a slight twist. Hawks have to many forward as is so at the very least 1 needs to go back and I would vote Blackwell. While I agree with other Hawks posters that there is no need (and I think adding a smallish winger is not what the Hawks should be doing), but a 4 million per for 2 more seasons the value becomes pretty compelling on a 27 year old player that has been fairly productive. Hawks will likely be spending similar money on worse players to get the cap floor next 2 seasons (see Perry/Foligno at 4 each). At 4 per when the cap goes up next Summer, Garland should be moveable if he doesn't click with the Hawks lineup (to the point you see him long term). Not a player I would actively try to add, but with retention and the cost of a 3rd (where the Hawks have 6 picks better already and likely to add), I consider this on value alone.
