Hawks would just prefer a 3rd round pick instead of the other stuff thanks.

Boqvist for Nosek.

Answer: the most inconsequential deal of the year

Respect elite player Jesper Boqvist

50% retained for a conditional 3rd based on games played and sv%, if he doesn't meet turns into a 4th

John Hynes ruined Jesper Boqvist potential. I know he used to be a bit of a floater…but he had him terribly miscast for years.

Sure if that's the highest bid but I bet they could just get a straight 3rd

Meh, the goalie rental market just hasn't been that in the past

1.8 mill Desmith for a 3rd and they took on a cap dump
1.3 mill korpi got a 3rd
1.1 mill rittich got a 3rd
2 mill adin hill got a 4th
even 1.1 mill Robin Lehner coming off a 3rd place vezina season only got a 2nd and a 5th

Ok. You retain 500k

Personally I would give 3 1sts to get my beloved boqy back

Exactly. Half retained for a 3rd. That's the mean.

1 mill for a 3rd on an in rental. i'd give up a 3rd for him at 1 mill, but you'd have to split the value of that 3rd with the team retaining the other mill

Lehner was also coming off proclaiming he was bipolar and had alcohol issues. To this day, I wonder how much that impacted his value.

Chris Driedger or trade for one of the Wild goalies?

If he's an elite player than Jordan Martinook is one too

I'm a certified martinook enjoyer too so I have no complaints with that statement

The Hawks aren't retaining anything. In fact, tehy are actually gaining cap for this year in the goalie swap. And they get a goalie for next year who was pretty damn solid last year, who only went to hell in the playoffs, which won't be an issue for the HAwks.

No argument there. Didn't say it was consequential, but teams need good fitting depth too.

Driedger is an AHL goalie. If i could get Gus at a discount I'd do it

Allen, Mrazek, Monty, Lyon, Reimer, Stolarz, Lankinen. All guys I'd target for around a 4th ideally.

Schmid been actually pretty good his last 6 appearances, I'd roll with him as the starter/1B and look for another guy to fill the tandem, at least while vanacek gets his **** together

Lyon and Gus would be the two goalies I would target even though Gus has played like utter garbage this year

Agree on Schmid. Assuming Saaros is out as a candidate, the only guy I think could be worth trading for and potentially gettable this season is Vejmelka, but I don't know if he's a big improvement over Vanecek so hard to go much more than what I proposed for Mrazek, plus maybe a 4th. And with Arizona playing ok, don't know that they'd move Vejmelka for that at this point. Stolarz, Lyon, and Reimer are all guys I'd be happy to take for what you said as a 3rd goalie, essentially replacing KAllgren or Kinkaid.

Vejmelka has at least been pretty analytically underwhelming like Vanacek this year, and while I can't say I've watched a lot of him this year, I've heard mixed opinions from AZ fans. I've always been a big fan of his tho, so some kind of Vanacek-Vejmelka trade could be appealing

The one thing I like about Vejmelka is that he's used to playing behind a terrible defense. Analytically, he's been positive in GSAA last two years, including half a goal above average this year. He's never played in the playoffs while Mrazek has awhile ago (and actually did pretty well) so hard to tell how he'll do but VAnecek has had several playoff runs and been terrible in each, which means alot to Devils but not much to Blackhawk or Coyotes.

I'm so done with vanacek tbh. Even at his best he was never the guy to save a goal with a ridiculous save, just didn't let in bad ones. This year he's letting in a bunch of bad goals too

Yep, he was average last year, which got the Devils to third best in NHL, and that is pretty much what Devils need/can get at this point to salvage teh season. This year he's basically like having Blackwood again. Best to get someone like Mrazek, and ride Schmid. Then they would have two goalies that are FA and can decide if tehy want to completely redo the position or move forward with Schmid and a competent backup.

Imo the time to lock Schmid in is now while he's cheap. Give him the Pyotr deal this second and I'll be a happy happy man

Hawks don't need cap and that prospect would never see the nhl with the plethora of LD prospects the hawks have. If the hawks end up needing a goalie they'll just sign a ufa
