Thats why i think the hawks should explore trades more than FA's nowOriginally Posted by LonghornBob

You're right. At this point with what we need gone or overpriced we need to trade picks/prospects from that bevy of young forwards we have for a Top 4 defender, and try to package Hjalmarsson/picks/prospects for a legit 2nd line center.
The way I see the hawks system is that we have a plethora of guys projected to be top 6...
Our top 6 has hossa (health willing), sharp, kane, and toews locked into it
Not alot of spots gonna be available anytime soon...we can afford to dump a few youngins in the system to improve the nhl club now in other areas (pk, goal, defense)

At this point if we can't make a trade involving prospects like Saad, Morin, Beach, Pirri, or someone else, picks and Hjalmarrson, to fill the defensive hole and the lack of a sniper to replace Kane when he moves to center, I'd do something like take a flyer on Kostitsyn for a few mill and go hard after Carle, or take a flyer on Semin and shore up the D with a potential disaster like Cam Barker who might get his shit together. We're out of the running for sure things now and if we can't make a trade for a sure thing we're going to have to wing it.
I really wouldnt be mad with semin......I like him

Don't forget Nashville lost a key defender and can throw money at someone too
I know you do from all of my
That they need to use on weber. Lol

If Weber has a decent year then when free agency comes around every defender in the NHL should send him a fruit of the month club membership or something because he's going to drive the price on Dmen straight through the fucking roof. The 5th guy on the list will get 1st guy type money.
Every time I try to further my understanding of hockey in terms of salary caps and team structure and what not by coming in the 'hawks forum....I see a capt srs post and just leave for a week or two.

If you're interested in getting more info on salary caps, and things like that, I suggest Capgeek.com. There is a ton of great info at that website.
And others may laugh, but play the GM mode in NHL 12. The contract rules in that game are damn near identical to how they are handled in real life. Some of the trades you can pull off aren't as realistic but understanding RFAs, UFAs, offer sheets, etc. can come from spending a lot of time in that game.
