<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>2nd + Thomson is way too much to "dump" a player that shouldn't even a cap dump. Dorion would be dumb to do that (it makes a lot more sense to trade either Kubalik or Brannstrom)

Thomson is NHL ready and seems quite improved. Joseph was a monster last night. And with the way he destroyed the QC 3v3 league this summer (25 goals in 7 games in a league where Letang, Suzuki, Dubois, Perron, etc play), the guy is hungry to prove people wrong.</div></div>

I'll just address the comment to mine. I'm not suggesting Dorion should do the trade. I'm simply stating that there's an order of importance. Us talking on Capfriendly has less importance than what a GM says, BUT IMO what a GM says also has less importance that what a GM's actually done. I guess that's an opinion, but "talk is cheap" / "Actions speak louder than words" / etc... Lots of sayings follow that logic.

Dorion should explore a Kubalik/Brannstrom trade. Hawks aren't interested. We're looking to capitalize on other team's mistakes. Dorion's overextended himself...Hawks are looking to make him pay for his mistake. Nothing wrong with that. It's not personal. It's business. We each need to say yes to a trade, so we'll dictate our terms or you can go somewhere else. That's perfectly fine and I hope for your sake you do go somewhere else. Let us know when no one else shows up. That's how we got Zaitsev/Bailey/Hall/Dickinson/TJ/etc... Tons of examples. We're here waiting...out terms haven't changed. My comments fall on track record. Others on here looking for that 1st are because Kyle Davidson has specifically said that any contract dump with a 3rd year of term is detrimental to his plans going forward. AKA...his words saying he doesn't want any 3 year dumps. So, they're suggesting that what Kyle Davidson would ask for his higher than what he's done in the past.

As for Joseph. I agree he played well last night. I'd be willing to take him on...if you meet OUR demands. I honestly didn't know about his men's league stats. I don't care who's in his men's league. Could you imagine if us Hawks fans started saying Bedard's going to score 164 goals just because his 1 scrimmage he scored 2 goals??? We don't say that because that's insane. Kinda like quoting stats from a summer men's league that means literally nothing. It's not negative...it's not positive...it's literally nothing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>As long as Price is done, the cap isnt too much of a issue and Gallagher can sit as much as possible. However you would like him and Monahan healthy to guide the younger guys and thats a pretty weak bet. I doubt Gallagher waives except to a contender, so that eliminates most of the teams that could absorb his cap hit or trade you a cap dump back.

For instance, some sort of Gallagher and Jake Allen and a pick (a 2nd ? a 3rd?) to PHI for Cal Petersen (5mil for 2 yrs) and Cam Atkinson (apparently healthy, 5.8mil for 2 yrs) could work, but only if Petersen sucks still or Atkinson is looking poor, but again Gallagher would block that trade.

Ultimately, he stays on the team and eventually retires, goes on LTIR and MTL can take the cap hit for now, but I said it at the time: due to the type of game he plays, his size, a long term, big money deal was a mistake, because those two aspects catch up to a player like him, and they certainly are</div></div>

I think what you're saying is very logical. That's likely what ends up occurring. His NTC is only a 6 team no trade just for conversations sake.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Can't see the Hawks taking on that contract for 4 more seasons. Even for a top 5 pick. Gallagher is toast.</div></div>

I'd do it. Just look at the team above. That defense is actually worse than the Hawks. I don't mean hypothetically either. Last year it was literally worse. Promoting an AHLer to #1RD and a rookie to #2RD...rough year ahead. That goaltending was also worse too. Caufiled/Suzuki are really good. I don't want to pretend they aren't. They'll score goals, but this team is in the hardest division in hockey. With a little assistance they might have tremendous odds for Celebrini. Understood there will undoubtedly be lottery protections, but top #5-#7 picks don't grow on trees. We need as many as we can get.
