<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>It feels like were at the point where there was kinda an agreed upon price IF Lee was willing to waive to CHI. <em>(I think he would considering his wife's from here, they met at Notre Dame, etc... He'd be the 4th player off the top of my head that made this exact move.)</em> But the value keeps on slipping the more this gets discussed. Example...hey the previous post had an agreed upon (2) 2nds...I'll make it a 2nd and a 3rd....the next post will be a 2nd and a 4th...the next a 2nd and a 5th just to see what fans are willing to giving.

I'm open to bringing on Anders Lee. I think his contract term and his veteran leadership are (2) things that line up with the Hawks well. As far as the return...it'll be whatever it is.</div></div>

Yeah. That's why I argue so heavily for more in these types of trades all the time, because if you let up, the other side will continue pushing the price further down. Sellers want pushovers. Isles fans should expect to pay a 1st plus to move a contract that large and with that much term. If they actually end up paying less, then they should be ecstatic about it.

I missed that since it followed the comment about Krebs.

Honestly still don’t think I would accept. I think culture setters are needed and while Skinner is definitely skilled, he has no track record of team success. Is he another one of these players Foligno mentioned this week that are unwilling to sacrifice for team success?

Personally I would go hard after a guy like Teravainen, I know he doesn’t come with the 2nd round pick offered here and the fourth line centre (Krebs) but he plays a more complete game, has won a cup and been a big part of a contending team the past few season in Carolina. In my opinion this is a much better use of financial assets.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>If the Hawks are replacing both Johnson's, Entwistle and Blackwell with Nazar, Slaggert, Dach and whoever, I'm not sure the team is that much better. To expect 3 or 4 rookies to perform at a level that improves your team by 8 or 10 wins seems pretty risky to me. Guess we'll see what happens.</div></div>

They're getting back Taylor Hall, another 2/3 of a season from AA lost to injury, and will add at least 1 maybe two forwards via trade or free agency. Plus Nazar and Slaggart, who are a lot better than the guys you mentioned needing replacing. This on top of progression from Bedard, Reichel, and the 4 young NHL D. This will be a team that finishes with a top 10, but not top 3 pick right in line with Kd's plan.

Vlasic is getting at least three times that amount, and more than likely with term. He will be CHI's top pairing LD for many years to come, unless of course Korch or another prospect takes some HUGE steps and passes him up, which I don't see happening. Even then, he will be a very solid 2nd pairing guy. Also, Samuelsson is looking like a bad-ish contract for BUF. Not that he is awful or anything, but they might have prematurely signed him for too much money and term.

I could definitely see scenarios where they move on from Allan, Athanasiou, and/or most of our picks, as I could for most players on CHI's current roster, but not to add an LD. That would be a pointless move.

Reinhart will more than likely get more money this summer, and probably isn't looking to join a rebuild at this point in his career. I highly doubt Kane will be back in CHI. I don't mind the Montour signing, though. I think he would be an interesting partner for Korchinski.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I appreciate your opinion! Truly. Did you know his wife is from Chicago and they meet at Notre Dame??? Like I hear you, but he'd be the 6th or 7th veteran that came to CHI for none hockey reasons. It happens all the time. Maybe 1 of those 16 teams COULD...MAYBE...POSSIBLY be CHI. Far stranger things have happened.</div></div>

Nothing is impossible. Just don't see Lee at this stage in his career accepting a deal to Chicago. Maybe in a few years when his contract is up and he's a free agent if he can't latch on to a cup contender.

Even saying that though why would you want Lee on the Blackhawks right now? If I'm the Blackhawks I'm trading away draft picks (second rounders as they have 8 over the next 3 seasons) for young players other teams can't afford to keep. Think of Sean Durzi types. Trying to rebuild with just draft picks is really tough because a lot of them just don't develop and I believe that losing teams do more harm to a lot of them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I mean, it does make sense to me as well. I'm not 100% sure we'll be the home run UFA targets, but we know what we have with Reece / Entwistle. Almost 200 NHL games. He's probably not part of the next step forward. I like Kampf more in that role than Entwistle anyway. Reaves above is a healthy scratch most games. I mean...if they got Reinhart, yeah I'm in. Curious what that contract would need to be at this stage of the Hawks rebuild, but I'm open to it for sure.</div></div>

I don't think guys like Reinhart or Lindholm would be targets for the Hawks. They'll want term. But like you have in your ACGM. Proven vets who are willing to take one or two year deals. After reading Ben's article, it sure seems like more than one or two signings is more of a possibility than we've all thought up to now. And I agree w/ you on Entwistle and Reese. Time for them to go. Blackwell too.

We are just going to disagree on Kampf. Don't think he's that much of an upgrade over what Hawks have now. And don't like the AAV or the term on his deal. I'm hoping Ilya Safanov comes over for the 25/26 season to fill the 4C role. Seems like a prototype NHL 4C to me.
