<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>The problem is the 2nd line FO% especially on the penalty and PP. Schamltz is terrible at the dot and Duchene is great....we need to take the load off of Toews so Duchene on the dot does that.

The other thing I wrote in the description is Duchene for a 2019 1st? Or, skip Duchene and sign JT for 10.5 for 6 years which would be better I think given that the wingers are young and locked up.</div></div>

I have faith Schmaltz will figure out how to win draws.... Winning draws is something you learn, it's not really a natural trait. I'm sure Schmaltz has been working hard on that this summer (and he has plenty of time to get better, lol)

IMO, I would try to stay away from high priced long-term contracts with the exception of Panarin, if he's available next summer - you lock him up long-term at 7.5 per..

Remember, Debrincat and Schmaltz won't be cheap forever...... Schmaltz is up next summer so, he's going to want $3,500,000 on a bridge deal, and Debrincat will cost the same at least. Both guys have the potential to be $6,000,000+ players in 5 years..... So you gotta think about that when you sign UFA's to long-term deals.... I think part of the reason why the Hawks found themselves in "cap hell" for many years is because Bowman took the approach of "win now and worry about cap hell when it comes", well "the time has come" many times... I suppose my point is I think Bowman should take a more planned out approach to the salary cap and I think he is..

I don't have a problem with Stan bringing in a big contract as long as he has a plan for 4-5 years down the road.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Bingo. I don't think Faulk is worth more then the #27 pick personally, maybe that and Duclair but Saad is worth more then that on a longer contract. They say Skinner (1 year rental) is worth a late 1st rounder and prospect, Saad then is worth slightly more since they have identical stats and same money basically but Saad has 3 years remaining and is younger.</div></div>

Indeed, there is no way Saad gets moved for Faulk alone... The Hawks don't have any legitimate LW's after Saad besides DeBrincat...

I'd do Hossa, Duclair &amp; 27th overall for Faulk &amp; Darling (1,100,000 retained)..

I threw Hossa in the deal so Carolina gets cap space (which is doing them a solid) because they will be around the cap floor... Not only that but the trade cap-wise offsets itself....

Well, as far as the lines I would have Schmaltz playing #2 center and Duchene playing #1LW

The trades....That Hawks/Canes deal...... Talk about a blockbuster....

So lets see here, let me break this down..

1. Anthony Duclair, 8th, 27th &amp; 65th overall for 2nd overall (Svenchnikov) - IMO, that's fair.... The Hawks move up 6 spots but give up those 3 picks and Duclair to do it - it's risky, but for Svenchnikov I'd do it.

2. Anisimov &amp; Hillman for Viktor Rask. - It's a little bit biased towards the Hawks, but not much.... At the same time the Hawks gave up a lot to move up 6 spots in the draft so this kinda evens the 2 trades out..

Saad, Forsberg &amp; Hossa for Faulk and Darling (1,400,000 retained) - this is more than fair, this is actually tipped in Carolina's favor.....

As independent deals they look great when you break it down but the Hawks are giving up a TON of assets, but I think it's OK... This trade surpasses "BLOCKBUSTER"status tho, this is a "MEGA, MEGA DEAL", lol...

As far as the Sens Duchene deal - I think (2) second round picks is a little low, I think the Hawks would have to add a prospect to make that work.....And IDK if Ottawa is willing to trade him so soon after acquiring him.....

Also, the Hawks have 6M in cap space left, I would definitely use that to bring in a few "shutdown" bottom 6 forwards and guys that have been excellent at the dot... Sign a guys like Vermette, Maroon or Hartnell etc.... You can never have too much depth or experience on your team... And those 3 would be really great adds..... No they're not going to play a ton but those are the guys you use as a 2nd PK unit or toss them out there to shutdown an opposing line....

Yea, it's pretty interesting tho.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>Faulk is a top pairing defenseman. And will be the hawks 2nd best defenseman if he is traded here. Saad is not more valuable to the hawks than Faulk at that point. The hawks defense was horrible this past season with a struggling PP. Faulk can improve the hawks in both facets. It's a no brainer if I'm Bowman. Plus the hawks save a little over one million in cap space to use on Moore, JVR, or whoever else they may be interested in.</div></div>

Faulk is a #3-4 defenseman - NOT a #1-2, and the fact he will play with Keith on the top pairing doesn't mean he's a legitimate top pairing defenseman..

If I was Bowman, I would not trade Saad straight up for Faulk and I would be making the right decision....

Saad is the only legitimate LW the Blackhawks have, and I'll be damned to see Panarin turn into Saad turned into Faulk - screw that nonsense.... And on top of that the Hawks are taking Darling off of Carolina's hands and the Blackhawks are without question the only team that would consider taking Darling...... So Carolina can have fun knowing that their #1 is Darling going into next season, that or Darling will be their 4.1M dollar backup goalie....

Taking Darling back in the deal should SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the price of Faulk considering Darling is a cap dump...

Heck, I would give 27th overall for Faulk and Darling...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>In isolation looking at each piece as such.

For the Carolina trade, if you dial back the retained money on Darling to $1.5M and include Duclair and a 4th or 5th rounder it works.

For the MTL trade, remove one of the 2nd round picks and it's fair.

Have to move Rutta or Murphy and seeing that Jokiharju is either partially ready or 1 year away, I'd move Murphy and Hillman to NYI for a 2nd round pick back and keep Rutta for 1 more year.

As much as I'd like to see Kane with him, Ilya isn't coming to Chicago...can bet on that, but signing JVR would be good.


Sign Riley Nash as a 3C. Hartnell and Vermette not necessary.

Lines are a bit of a mess up front. I would do...

JVR - Toews - Svech
Car - Schmaltz - Kane
Chucky - Nash - Sikura
Edjsell - Kampf - Hino

Overall good ideas. I'm going to steal this and do something similar, please see what you think.</div></div>

I'm not opposed to JVR, but at the same time I don't want to see Bowman hand out a 6x7 contract - especially when Panarin is a UFA next summer (and I strongly believe Bowman will pursue him and that was Bowmans intent all along)....... Which is why Kovalchuk would be perfect because he's only going to get short term offers considering he will be a 35+ contract...

Nash is interesting , but does he have the legs to keep up? and what would he sign for? 3M maybe 3.5? I would have interest on a 1 or 2 year deal.

This isn't bad tho:

JVR - Toews - Svech
Car - Schmaltz - Kane
Chucky - Nash - Sikura
Edjsell - Kampf - Hino

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>You have to give to get. Faulk is a top pairing D man and 26. Saad is a top 6 F and 25. You can’t get away from that. Carolina shouldn’t be short changed. Many teams are interested in a RD like Faulk. Duclair is on the block he’s probably gone. I doubt Edjsell makes the team especially as a C. If you get Faulk Murphy has to go.</div></div>

Saad is way more valuable to the Hawks than Faulk will be. Besides, Faulk is not a #1-2 he's at top 4 - more like a #3..... The Hawks can just sign a defenseman - there are plenty on the UFA market and keep Saad.

I would give up #27 + for Faulk tho. But if Carolina wants Saad - then no way unless they're swapping picks or adding to the deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bluedemon5</b></div><div>This is interesting. First off I don't think Kovalchuk comes to Chicago, if we need a top 6 winger I think our best shot would be JVR. In this scenario you need to move Murphy and probably not sign Hartnell. Sikura and Hinostroza should be in the top 9 as well. I don't think that's enough to get Carolina's 1st rounder. You would need to include more picks or a guy like Duclair most likely.</div></div>

It would be nice to avoid long-term contracts because they tend to get the Hawks in trouble..... Besides Panarin is a UFA next summer and it would be nice to re-sign him (which I think was Bowman's plan all along) but that is a different debate all together...

Sure, I would throw Duclair into the Carolina deal........ But I wouldn't trade Saad for Faulk without without trading #8 for #2, I would would toss in someone like Duclair but that's it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Matt Barzal was drafted two years before entering the NHL. Nobody has had that type of rookie season as a teenager since Ovechkin/Crosby in ‘04-‘05.

You have no idea how ridiculous you sound. It’s gotten to the point where the Hawks fans are getting so defensive because they have too many overpaid players to contend for a Cup. They need a top pairing defenseman and another top four, not sure where these guys are supposedly coming from. Also factor in the forwards that need to be added and there’s nowhere near enough money to actually fill these holes dude</div></div>

Funny how I'm a Hawks fan and you're trying to tell me how much cap space the Hawks have , lol...... Depending on where the salary cap ends up, the Hawks will have between 16.5 and 18.5 million+...... And I have demonstrated this in numerous threads......

And that 16.5-18.5 isn't even taking into account roster moves and trades.... There are a few defenseman presently on the roster that wont be on the team next season, not to mention Anisimov will be traded and his cap hit is 5 so a potential trade there will fix one of the Hawks problems.

But honestly, I look forward to you and your ilk crying this season about how "lucky" the Hawks are... How the Hawks should be "punished" for that Hossa contract...

Here is something that has been left out.

Hossa hasn't signed his official retirement paperwork, therefore he is technically an active player still. Therefore Bowman is some how circumventing the system again and going to be able to use Hossa's $5.25 cap hit to sign another player. Once again this is if the NHL doesn't step in and do something about it. This was the kind of stuff they wanted to eliminate when signing the last CBA.

If everything stays the same now, Hossa will be placed on LTIR due to him being an active player since he has not officially signed his retirement paperwork.

It looks like you are correct in this situation. I just didn't know he never signed the paperwork.</div></div>

That's exactly the point, he's not signing his retirement paperwork because if he does the Hawks would be hit with a MASSIVE recapture penalty.... Besides, why would Hossa? he gets a $1,000,000 a year for basically doing nothing.

Bowman will spend Hossa's 5.275 cap hit this summer because he can go 10% over the cap and will place Hossa on LTIR the first day of the season.

Oh and there is nothing wrong with this, Hossa's is legitimately injured - he cant play.. I don't know why the Hawks should be punished for that...... Besides it's not like Hossa wasn't good when he got is skin condition - I would LOVE to have Hossa back - last season really showed just how important Hossa was to this team..... So the notion he just "decided" to unofficially retire is BS.... No, the league should step in and do nothing - the same situation has happened before with David Clarkson, Nathan Horton, Dave Bolland, Chris Pronger and Brian Bickell just to name a few situations - not to mention Pavel Datsyuk who went on LTIR and went to go play in Russia which is nuts......... Look, players get injured - in Hossa's case a skin disorder that requires medication that will damage his health... So yea, Hossa could technically play but it would require the take medication that damages his heath - that is a legitimate reason to unofficially retire....

Sujet: Canes Habs and Tavares
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyplayer1</b></div><div>In none of my comments did I once say that the hawks aren't going to have salary cap space to make big moves this summer. I know the Hawks cap situation. They are in a good position.

You're clearly missing the entire point of my comments. If they are over the cap $1 prior to the season start and use Hossa LTIR to get below the cap they are limiting their ability to call-up whoever they want. The Hawks would get $1 of LTIR relief for the entire season on the Hossa contract. Not the entire $5.275M to use whenever they want. The season opening LTIR only brings the team down to the cap and then that players LTIR is stuck at whatever that may be for the rest of the season.
It doesn't matter if a player is on an ELC. If the player you want to call up has a ELC but his salary is higher than the player you want to send down YOU CANT do it. That is how LTIR works. It doesn't change once you set it at the begining of the year.

Here's an example:
Cap is set at $80M for the season. Hawks spend $81,500,000 on players utilizing a small portion ($1,500,000) of the 10% buffer allowed in the summer. The Hawks then place Hossa on LTIR to start the season in order to be cap compliant. They now have a cap hit of $80M and get $1,500,000 in LTIR cap relief from Hossa going on LTIR.
Now lets say a roster player, Player A, with a cap hit of $750,000 gets injured and has to go on LTIR during the season. The Hawks will obviously want to bring someone up to fill his spot. They want to bring up Player B who is on an ELC with a cap hit of $925,000. The Hawks only get $750,000 in LTIR cap relief from Player A so they cannot bring up Player B. They do not get more cap relief from Hossa's LTIR because his was season opening LTIR and is not variable from the $1,500,000 that was set to start the season. The team must replace Player A with a player of the same or lesser cap hit.</div></div>

No they're not limiting themselves with whom they call up or send down.... Most of the guys they will call up and send down will be on ELC's so the cap hit is interchangeable... The only guys that would count are those on 2-way contracts, but they count against the cap anyway..

There will be no issue there..... Yes, I'm sure Bowman will save some breathing room, but not 5.275 million in breathing room - you can count on at least 4 million of that being spent..

Hossa's LTIR cap credit will basically be used to replace him (not that you can replace a Hossa)...

The Hawks would have no more issue calling up and sending guys down than if Hossa was on the team - think about it that way..

No matter who the Hawks call up or send down they will get 850k either way...... So for example if they send down a guy making 1.2 million and recall a player making 850k then that would cost 350k against the cap...... The Hawks don't need 5.275 in breathing room...... The guys the Hawks will be recalling and demoting wont have that big of salaries to begin with.... So roster moves with Rockford wont be an issue.

Sujet: (CHI / WSH) - 3rd round pick for Kempný
Well Hawks fans are pissed off..... I went out for a couple of drinks and started talking hockey with this dude at the bar and he was bashing Bowman and portraying Kempny as the next Ray Bourque or Bobby Orr.....lol.. He said this trade was "one of the worst trades in Blackhawks history".....

WTH

Kempny didn't work in Chicago - it happens, sometimes players don't work with one team but they work with another..... Trevor Daley is another example of a guy that didn't work in Chicago but he worked in Pittsburgh...... So what? what were the Hawks supposed to do? redesign their defense and strategies to work around these guys?

It's no ones fault that Kempny didn't work in Chicago... He didn't fit the Hawks game/style/strategies etc..

I'm happy with the 3rd round pick (watch the Hawks draft a stud with the pick too), and although I really don't like the Caps I'm happy things worked out for him in Washington.
