<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newman23</b></div><div>You generally want to be multiple million over the cap floor so you have room to sell guys at the deadline and such.

That's true-- being right at the floor could cause issues in case of injury too. I don't think that's a big factor, though, because it would be really easy to sign someone to a multimillion dollar deal and send them to the AHL midesason or to be a middleman on a trade for basically nothing. Put another way, they might as well use the cap space they have, but they're now close enough to the cap floor where spending more money isn't really any sort of concern.

Sujet: 2024-25 Hawks Am I crazy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EthanBradley</b></div><div>I’d love to see Del Mastro up and playing some minutes, guys are gonna get hurt this year and he’ll hopefully be the first call. RD are a rare find nowadays, Vinny D reminds me of seabrook in ways.</div></div>

I have absolutely no problems with signing a RD, although I'd be surprised to see one signed for three years if the Hawks take Levshunov. There's no clear internal candidate to join the team this year, although Rinzel and Levshunov could both be NHL ready next year. Worst case, Murphy with retention should have plenty of suitors. I agree that there will be defensive injuries, but you don't sign a guy to a 2x$3 million contract to start the season in Rockford, and I would hate it if Del Mastro or Kaiser spend time in the AHL instead of the NHL only beause we don't have space for them in the NHL. I'd much rather resign Phillips or even Roos to a two way deal (or to risk losing to waivers) and save the spot for Del Mastro or Kaiserwhen they're ready.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newman23</b></div><div>I wouldnt think so. For one thing hawks would still need to add some salary to be comfortably above the floor but I think mikheyev is more of the tyler johnson replacement. Just a defensive forward who can chip in 30 points.

It does make the forward group a little crowded but Id imagine were just letting a lot of our RFAs walk and using these guys to improve the depth</div></div>

With Mikheyev, we're $5.25 million below the cap floor. That's without counting Sam Lafferty, whoever end up as 3rd pairing defense, or players 21-23 on the roster. We won't have to sign a big name free agent to hit the cap floor. But I suppose even if we sign Teuvo we've only got 13 forwards, and it's unlikely that each healthy all season long. If Hayes, Dach, Lardis, or anyone else in Rockford earns a promotion we could presumably trade Hall, Donato, or Athanasiou. I 'd be surprised to see two more big forward acquisitions, but I suppose one makes sense.

Sujet: Moving Draisaitl and Nurse
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>That's a bit rich bud. He was great and he may still improve but he's not a franchise defenseman like you're suggesting here with the top 5 pick. Nurse also won't cost "multiple 1sts" that is absurd. PLD got traded 1 to 1 with zero retention.

That said: mw6 there really is no way you're getting Foligno who is basically the team's captain and Vlasic who is the team's current best defenseman and put up pretty solid metrics on a horrific D corp last year in his rookie season. If he hadn't had a few extra games prior to this season already he would've been talked about in the Calder voting, but he didn't qualify. Nurse and Jones are arguably two of the worst contracts in the league. No way Chicago wants or needs him.

For everyone else reading this post, Davidson is building a team of his own vision. Anything he's acquired, signed, or drafted is likely OFF the table. He appears very calculated in his moves so acquiring and signing Foligno and signing Vlasic to 6 years is purposeful and he's not going to then just flip them for parts. I encourage you before you make an ACGM involving Chicago, it shouldn't involve any Davidson pieces.</div></div>

I strongly disagree on being a franchise defenseman. Last season, the Hawks were outscored 51-50 at 5v5 with Vlasic on the ice. I don’t have the numbers for 5v5 without Vlasic, but if we include all 5v5 goals with a goalie pulled, the Hawks were out scored 89-186 without Vlasic. That’s a goal share of 49% vs 32%. He was one of the best defensive defenseman in the league last season. He’s already a top-pairing defenseman, if not a #1 defenseman. But he was one game away from being a rookie last season; it’s very likely that he gets better; and he’s signed for 6 years at $4.67 million per year, which would become one of the best contracts in the league if he continues to develop even a little bit more. I’d take that over Sam Dickinson or Zeev Buium.
