I’d do that goodrow trade. But I’d be shocked if Chicago wasn’t on his no trade list

This roster is like $10m below the projected cap floor for next year. And arguably worse than the current roster is now.

Connor Brown has not looked very good thus far. I dont think he is a priority UFA.

I expect Chicago to sign or trade for another veteran UFA similar to Foligno/ Uncle Perry to help get to the Cap Floor.

Maybe not my 1st choice but Tarasenko comes to mind.

I'm hopeful that Reinhart is in the mix.

I would want more to take on Goodrow, but I also don't think NYR really want to trade him either. Seems like a lose/lose trade to me. I also would not want to part with Wyatt Kaiser. Maybe swap out Kaiser for Isaak Phillips?

Resign Foligno for $10M?

No thanks on either trade. Goodrow is on pace for 10 points this season and is owed 3.6 for 3 more seasons. Upgrading a low 4th to a low 2nd is not in the right zip code for the Hawks to take that contract. That is 11.25 actual dollars in salary for a guy whoses production can be replicated with an AHL level plug.

While I like Frost as a buy low reclamation project/gamble, I would not do that for either Kaiser or a 2nd much less both. 5'11 170 forwards are not something the Hawks should be spending good resources on given their current prospect pool mix (which is generally smallish with Bedard, Nazar, Moore and even Reichel).

Kaiser > 2nd > Frost, IMO. Frost would be an interesting acquisition, but not at that cost, and not for a rebuilding CHI team.
