Sujet: Tor Trade - Compliance Buyout - Saving Cap for Core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Decent chance Shaw and Seabrook are out for the year. I would buy out Maatta</div></div>

Seabrook compliance even if he's out for the year makes more sense than Maatta. Seabrook is owed more cash, and would cost several million per year before dropping off to hundreds of thousands, where buying out Maatta would only cost 680K for 4 years.

Seabrook is unlikely to end up on the IR the rest of his career, and costs much more. Using the compliance on Maatta is financially illogical.

De Haan is an interesting case, but agreed. The hawks have tons of middle six forwards that they can't seem to gel. Maybe they can use his speed? It's a weird offseason. It's really tough to determine what the hawks need in this "Transition period" (I don't even know if that's the right term). I don't think it's realistic for Mitchell and Carlsson to make this team, especially with the cap space available. Does Strome even get resigned? Where does he even fit? Too many questions, not enough answers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>He's a rental goalie, I really wasn't expecting a ton in return. I guess now that we know what we're getting I'm a bit disappointed. Like I said, Demin doesn't jump off the screen at me.

Gus hasn't been good this year. Greene, Scandella and Dillon got 2nd round picks for their defense, which Gus just doesn't have. Hopefully we don't get Kempny-ed again</div></div>

Greene and Scandella can't do much defending, I can't believe Scandella is still in this league at this point. Gus is a PP QB, Carolina's is on IR, why they made a move for Vatanen instead is beyond me. Vatanen is not nearly the QB Gus is.

Gus should've been unloaded in the offseason anyways when you think about it. What did Bowman do to make this team better? Traded for Maatta (Yikes), traded for Nylander (A huge unknown), traded for De Haan (Good price, injury prone), traded for Smith (Overpaid PKer), and signed Carpenter. Why are we expecting a bunch of bottom 6 Fs and average D men were going to carry this team to a playoff spot? Bowman and co. had to know these moves wouldn't make this team a contender, with teams like STL adding Justin Faulk.
