Sujet: To cost an arm and aleg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>There are rumours about plenty of players. What has actually been reported is that Kuznetsov has requested a trade and Calgary is in talks with Lindholm about an extension.

Kuznetsov does not help Calgary, he is at best on par with Kadri at this point and is 31 years old. Neither Kuznetsov or Kadri are legitimate 1st line center caliber players whereas Lindholm is. If Calgary is trading Lindholm it should be for strictly futures since unless Aho or Matthews hit the market there is no one close to replacing what Lindholm provides being available any time soon.</div></div>

There is no smoke whithout fire, and if Lindholm does not want to sign a contract, then the question is - which team does not have center of 1 line and have assets that can replace him?
Or do you believe that Calgary will re-sign it?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>No guarantee that he ruins the PP chemistry but if he does they could just place him on the 2nd line in place of Petry. He'll still contribute 5v5 and with Graves, they'll have a solid pairing.

That Hellebuyck trade won't happen. I'm sure Dubas checked the cost of acquiring different goalies including Hellebuyck before signing Jarry to that deal.</div></div>

Maybe the Hellebuyck deal didn't go through because Dubas is now obsessed with the Karlssson deal. But if there is no deal with EC65, then the exchange of goalkeepers does not look far-fetched. The Jets get a goaltender for less money with a long contract, and the Penguins significantly improve their goaltending line, and a year later, after Carter's departure and trades, they will be able to re-sign Hellebuyck for what he wants.

Sujet: Expected changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LivingAnew</b></div><div>There is something else the Hawks must consider, on top Mantha's value to the Hawks and the paying out of draft picks for having him on the Hawks... Who among Hawks players who may play an important role in the Hawks' future will Mantha elbow out of playing time/development, if he (Mantha) is on the roster?

IMO, the Hawks are HIGHLY unlikely to dispose of any of the vets they JUST signed (Foligno, Hall, Donato, Perry, Athanasiou), or Dickinson, Tyler Johnson, etc - who've established themselves as important pieces.

No, some kid will be elbowed out who may/will be important to the Hawks' future - a kid who either needs development and/or will tell the Hawks (or other teams) what their potential is to the Hawks' rebuild: Raddysh, Katchouk, Reickel, Guttman, Kurashev, Anderson, etc. We have an abundance of young forwards who've played for the Hawks, and I think it's MUCH more important for the Hawks to learn how any one of these players develop, than Mantha.</div></div>

As part of Chicago now:

Perry 38 years old, 1 year contract $4 million

Foligno 35 years old, 1 year contract $4 million

Johnson 32 years old, 1 year contract $5 million,

Dickinson 28 years old, 1 year contract $2.65 million

Blackwell 30 years, 1 year contract,

Are you sure that Manta is worse than them?

As I understand it, Chicago will have the next TOP-6 this season

1st line: Hall, Bedard, Reichel

2nd line: Athanasiou, Johnson, Raddysh

Raddysh in 2022 is 33 points in 74 games, while he hits a little (76 to 74), takes little (31 to 74) and does not rebound the puck at all (12 to 74), which means he is useless in defense.

Athanasiou - hits even less (41 in 73), but slightly more tackles (52 in 73) and few rebounds (21 in 73)

Johnson

And all this despite the fact that Chicago was one of the most passing teams last year, which means the team played more defense. Therefore, everyone should have higher hits, rebounds and tackles.

If you want to remain the same soft team that has no room for pressure, then stay it with your young talents.

But if Chicago wants Bedard to progress, then you need to think not only about the development of Raddysh, Reichel, Kurashev, but also about a competitive capable TOP-6
