Sujet: Punishing PLD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>CHI is nowhere near the same point with Reichel as LAK is with Kaliyev. That is a false equivalency, and there is no way to justify that. There is definitely a case to be made for CHI having interest in Kaliyev, though.

PLD will cost significantly more to move. That is still one of the biggest head scratcher trade AND contracts of the last few years. Someone brought up the Flames with Huberdeau, but they were essentially forced to get the best deal possible for Tkachuk, at which point it just made sense to re-sign Huber. LAK's traded too many assets for a mid 2nd line center, that probably won't age very well and already has a history of asking for trades and overplaying his hand.</div></div>

Friedman was discussing the LAK possibly buying him out immediately after the Cup Finals if they end early because he's still only 25 years old so his buyout would be 1/3 the contract vs 2/3.

Sujet: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>lol. I was literally just building an ACGM with almost the same exact proposals. I don't think this is too much at all, though. Something like this coincides with what KD has stated in his exit interview about improving the team, while still maintaining some of the more important guidelines he has laid out for the rebuild over the last two years.

Aside from Pesce (which is far too much salary and term, imo) you have brought in some veteran players on short term deals, made the NHL club more competitive, created roster competition for the young guys who may or may not need more development time in the AHL (and are still waiver exempt and shouldn't just be handed roster spots), and brings in more/higher-quality draft capital. All while bringing in more guys who are not injury prone, and who, presumably, are only worried about themselves and their next contracts. They are all guys who can motivate a locker room, take orders and play within a system, and are great team first guys, aside from maybe Mikheyev.

I think as far as Mikheyev goes, though, I would rather just re-sign Anderson. We don't NEED the extra 2nd round pick and Anderson has been fantastic. And for Pesce, I think for $6.5 x 5, we can probably do better than him, or just do something shorter term. Not that he isn't serviceable, but he has shown signs of decline and 5 years is a long time, especially for that amount. That contract has some potential to look pretty bad pretty quickly.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newman23</b></div><div>I woiuld prefer the hawks only make one of these types of moves (I definitely dont the idea of picking up anders lee). I think what Jones and Foligno said during their exit interviews is important - we need to have vets that actually want to be here and buy into trying to rebuild the blackhawks. I think picking up the worst contracts from playoff teams is a generally not a great way to get a guy that cares about the project in Chicago. Theres plenty of good veteran presence that will be available in free agency. I'd rather us target guys a little more intentionally. We dont really need the extra picks anyway.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I don't see Davidson plugging up that many holes for the young guys, especially with all these deals being multi year this is just way too much imo</div></div>

The only thing I'd say with the picks is that we need to be trying to move up in the draft if we're getting picks. I fully understand if you don't want Mikheyev...ok. That's fine with me. Maybe it's a Faksa? Maybe it's someone else. My point was simply that I'm ok with having a Brett Connolley down in Rockford. Guys that aren't coming here by choice, but also don't want to skip out on their NHL contract. Faksa can help lead the Ice Hogs. I'm ok with that. Maybe it's Reeves? He's a "locker room" guy. OK, be that for our prospects. Sign Pitlick to a max AHL contract...whatever that is...I honestly forget. Spend the money to set up these young guys to develop into NHLers at the AHL level.

Anders Lee to me is different. He's a Captain. I'm sure he wants to win a cup, but when he and his wife (from Chicago) sit down and talk about their family, life, and future...it's not at all an impossibility that CHI is an acceptable location. He's still an ok hockey player. Just paid a lot for what he provides.
