Sujet: TB BlockBuster and minor moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>graderman</b></div><div>No to Sharp and Oduya. NMC are huge in the "minor moves". I can see the Hawks moving both Hjalmarsson and Panarin but would hope the goal is to create cap space first and foremost. While it would be nice to acquire Drouin as well as Palat to shore up one of several weak positions, the reality most likely is that Chicago will continue their trend of going with youth. There seems to be skepticism whether or not DeBrincat can play in the NHL. Connor Sheary is doing just fine, ADB will also be good, maybe real good! Knott should get get a good, long look as well.

Cap space, center depth, defensive depth, secondary scoring would be my main concerns going into the next few weeks. Bowman, yet again, has his work cut out. After the ED, his attention just may be with Vegas until the draft. Dallas and NYI would be others to keep high on his radar, IMO.</div></div>

All great points. My thought process behind Oduya and Sharp: Both have played in the system, playing less important minutes, and alleviate the need for depth being filled out with youngsters. Other than Schmaltz and Hartman at times, I think they all could get valuable time in the A bulking up and getting stronger. One thing we didnt have this year, the versatile forwards who can play on lines 1-4 and be effective in whatever role, for example Steeg, Shaw, Ladd, guys like that. Sharp and Oduya can both do that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Karr31</b></div><div>From a Dallas perspective, not sure any of these deals make sense. Schultz would be worth the pick if he was sure to sign, but don't see Pitt offering given the turnover on D they're likely to have already. Nill will either keep Lehtonen or deal due to his contract only having 1 remaining year, but no chance he pays that high a price for Vegas to select. Not enough for Eakin, &amp; too much for Palat. Nill is patient and strategic, so look for him to surprise in the coming weeks. I'm hoping he'll partner our late 1st rd'er with either Eakin or Faksa for Fowler, and then add via free agency for some depth at forward. Deal Lehtonen for a pick, buyout Niemi, sign a FA backup. Done. See everyone in the playoffs :)</div></div>

Appreciate the insight man! I just moved to Dallas from Chicago in SEP and loved being able to go to as many games as I did. I watched them a lot and felt like they were 2 Dmen away from being a playoff team. The loss of Janmark hurt as well. Personally, I would take any call on Klingberg to see what his market value is. He is a complete time bomb in his own end and if he gets moved with the addition of adding Fowler to build around, I think they will be much better.
