RFAs
Here are the top Restricted Free Agents Available:
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=638294
Should the Hawks put in an offer sheet on any of these? Any of these would be schweetEvander Kane, F, Winnipeg ($3.1 million)
Kane turns 21 years old next month, and scored 30 goals for the Jets last season. He could be one of the League's premier power forwards for the next decade. Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press reported earlier this week that Kane's representatives and the Jets are working on a long-term contract.
Ryan O'Reilly, F, Colorado ($900,000)
O'Reilly had a breakout campaign in 2011-12, finishing with 18 goals and a team-leading 55 points. He turns 22 years old in February, and is already one of the top two-way centers in the League. The Avalanche also have centers Paul Stastny and Matt Duchene, but O'Reilly could be the most valuable of the three.
P.K. Subban, D, Montreal ($875,000)
Subban played more than 24 minutes a night in his sophomore NHL season, and the 23-year-old is one of the most dynamic young defensemen in the League. He had 14 goals and 38 points in his rookie season, and seven goals and 36 points in 2011-12.
Tyler Ennis, F, Buffalo ($875,000)
Ennis had just five points in his first 18 games last season and missed about six weeks with an injury twice, but finished with a flurry as the center of Buffalo's most productive line in the final month. He ended the season with 15 goals and 34 points in 48 games. Eight of his 15 goals came after March 8. Ennis had 20 goals and 49 points as a rookie, and turns 23 years old in October.
John Carlson, D, Washington ($845,833)
Carlson has teamed with Karl Alzner to form the top defensive pairing for the Capitals in each of the past two seasons. He had some growing pains in his second full NHL season, but Carlson finished with nine goals and 32 points while logging nearly 22 minutes of ice time per contest during the regular season before playing more than 24 minutes a night in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He will be 23 in January.
Jamie Benn, F, Dallas ($821,667)
Benn squared off against Carlson and Alzner in the marquee matchup of the 2010 Calder Cup Final, and the 23-year-old has become one of the Stars' most important players. He had 26 goals and 63 points last season while earning a spot in the 2012 All-Star Game, and could be Dallas' No. 1 center for years to come.
I'd check in on John Carlson seems cheap
John Carlson sounds great. I also wouldn't mind Subban, but probably gonna cost quite a bit. I also wouldn't mind maybe getting the other Kane.
I don't think anyone would mind the other Kane but he is a little too pricey and I don't think we need another scoring winger
wouldnt mind evander
There's never too many scoring wingers. Need PP help. But that's assuming that Saad isn't going to have a good year. Which is a safe assumption just because we don't know.Originally Posted by whitesoxman77
True but I think we should address our lack of a big body... We haven't had a player like that sense Buff
I would be pretty damn happy with Evander Kane. I am just not holding my breath.
Warning, the following may be Not Safe For Work or a storyline spoiler.
Nobody can...bowman has been quiet

Now would be a decent time for the Hawks to work the RFA angle, considering that they'd lose draft picks in the process but their farm system is pretty stocked right now.
Still feels like wishful thinking.

calm before the storm...wait thats kenny williams my bad.
Yes our system is stacked right now...now would be the time to act on rfa's

Ennis and Benn would solve the #2 center spot
I'm good with Kane but I think we'd be better off with Subban.
Love Jamie Benn
I wonder how long it would take to convince Bowman about getting any of these guys...............................
Jordan Jaye Sanders
The Blackhawks pretty much can't put in offer sheets for any of these RFA's. For the slot that most of these RFA's would land in money wise, it would require the Blackhawks to have their own 2nd or 3rd round pick in next years draft. The 2nd and 3rd round pick in next years draft were traded for Oduya.
Here is the compensation
Not going to happen as none of these players will be signed for under $1.1mil or above $8.1milHere are the numbers:
$1,110,249 or below - No Compensation
Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 - 3rd round pick
Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 - 2nd round pick
Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 - 1st round pick, 3rd
Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 - 1st round pick, 2nd, 3rd
Over $6,728,781 To $8,410,976 - Two 1st Round Picks, 2nd, 3rd
Over $8,410,976 - Four 1st Round Picks
Completely forgot about that. Guess it's trades or nothing.
@_DaveMelton
Well damn...bubble burst
Totally forgot about compensation

I believe you can compensate MORE than the required amount, correct? Say Subban would cost us a 1 and a 3... is it not correct that we can do a 1 and a 2? I was under that impression.
As many young players as we have who look like they're going to make it in the league (Pirri, Morin, Saad, Hayes, Shaw, and this new midget), I don't mind giving away a few draft picks for a 2nd line center and/or a top 4 defender.
I have never heard that before and RFA compensation seems to be pretty strict (the draft picks must be the teams original picks).
well atleast we had a little more conversation in this thread then, even though it sucks we cant sign any good RFAs. lol
