Did we get a bag of pucks?
I wouldn't. Locker room cancer and he doesn't put us in contention. I think he's also signed through 2025, so we'd be stuck that long with him.Guess they're trading him for "future considerations." Not to sound too cold, but I won't miss him.
Some interesting names on this list. Strome is obviously not surprising -- I would do a Strome for Debrusk trade straight up, why the hell not?
Also, I'll be the minority here considering the guy's baggage, and this is sure to piss off the tear-it-all-down folk, but I think I would take a chance on E. Kane at 3.5 per year. Assuming you can get him for peanuts and SJ will eat half his salary.

The cosiderations are how many pucks do we get?Did we get a bag of pucks?

They'd have to eat half (and they're paying dead cap on a Martin Jones buyout), take some of our trash, AND send us picks/prospects before I'd consider it.
Yup...no Theo Fleurys, Doug Gilmours, or Bobby Orrs....picks or prospects...no bullshit that this team is a few tweaks from being a contender.Perhaps he is better than some of the beancounter's acquisitions, but I would not get him at the expense of the rebuild. Either we get pieces that help us build the team up long term or no dice.
Jim I am sorry that I will disagree with you, this team is very far from a few tweaks to be a contender. There is to much deadweight eating up cap space that can be used for players that can eventually help this team move forward.Yup...no Theo Fleurys, Doug Gilmours, or Bobby Orrs....picks or prospects...no bullshit that this team is a few tweaks from being a contender.
If my verbage did not properly convey my thoughts, I apologize, but I was trying to say exactly what you did...I agree 100% with you...I watched the Hawks bring in guys like Fleury and Gilmour and Coffey and Housely and Tonelli and pretend like they were still the players they were at their prime and it made the team better, when what it really did was deplete resources need to properly replenish and rebuild a team from within... Rocky's dad worked on the model that getting 8 seed every year and at least your 2 home playoff game revenues was success...I hope his son and grandson understand the reality that no one stays on top permanently, and that you build, hopefully win, endure a proper rebuild, and hopefully win again.Jim I am sorry that I will disagree with you, this team is very far from a few tweaks to be a contender.

Dehaan and Strome for starters, I love JT but his talents have diminished so much, that it’s not helping, great at faceoffs but this team needs more on the scoresheet from him.
Once this team gets a qualified GM who has hockey sense and direction the Hawks will be better team. I certainly hate being such a pessimistic fan, but it’s difficult to see any light at the end of the tunnel. I may be wrong, but at this point there is not so much optimism surrounding this team.
I’ll stick up for Housely. He was damn solid his first year here and ran the PP like a boss.If my verbage did not properly convey my thoughts, I apologize, but I was trying to say exactly what you did...I agree 100% with you...I watched the Hawks bring in guys like Fleury and Gilmour and Coffey and Housely and Tonelli and pretend like they were still the players they were at their prime and it made the team better, when what it really did was deplete resources need to properly replenish and rebuild a team from within...

CashSubban having season ending surgery, so much for anything great on the future considerations. I guess less pucks now hey Da Hawk?
