Well. I'm trying to keep things realistic If Enstrom gets moved... it's a separate trade or more than likely happens in the off season. Pav Stu Thorburn. Combined to make about 8 million next year. That's a problem

Depending on who picks first... Laine could go 1st. I get that you are very high on Matthews... a guy you've seen play? Once maybe twice right but what Laine is doing in a better league at the same age... altho younger since Matthews has a late birthday is pretty Damn impressive. Matthews is a good player but at the same time Laine is also. There is no guarantee that Matthews goes first.

Lol at Enstrom. Hawks can't afford him. Would be Chiarot or Postma Maybe Burmi. It's not someone making 5 plus million a year. No chance. Florida and Calgary also here. Florida would be checking out Ladd. Maybe stafford. Calgary is interesting tho. My guess is as crazy as it sounds they are here checking out Pav

Depending where our 1st rounder is... cuz trouba plus pick 2 or 3 or 4 is an overpayment

Ladd shouldn't play If they are going to trade him. The worst thing that could happen is he gets hurt. Don't let him play or let him play one shift then send him to the room. Asset management. I have a bad feeling that if he plays he gets hurt and we lose him for nothing

Just a question. 2 months ago. Did you know who Pokka was? Did you know he was actually a 2nd Rd pick in 2012? By the NYI but was traded to Chicago? Schmaltz was a first round pick. You can't always get what you want. Sometimes you need to take what is offered... cuz man it would suck to lose Ladd for nothing cuz you wanted a d man back that apparently isn't being offered

Somebody has to finish last or bottom 5 every year. So be it. Don't think Toronto wins the lottery anyway since draft gods don't seem to like teams who actually tank.

Ladd will go to the team who offers the best package. Matheson and a 1st from Florida? No thanks. Matheson has been compared to Paul Postma. Ian McCoshen would be the Florida d man I'd want Chicago? 1st and one or both schmaltz and Pokka would be fair If Chicago wants Ladd they will get him. Why should Chevy be targeting Pokka ? He's an rhd. We got those. Schmaltz will be very good. I'd take him and a 1st for sure. Easily.

Shane will win. And take control of raw

Lawless did not say the Hawks offered schmaltz and their first. He speculated that's what they offered. He also said Washington would probably offer Matheson and their 1st. For the record Matheson plays for Florida so lawless was just bs ING. If it was true he'd have tweeted it bit he's speculating

Schmaltz would be fine with me.

Buff Trouba Bowey ?? ?? Morrissey

Then you can trade Myers for an LHD

Just LA doesn't of all those teams

ok. Cool.

Speculated on the teams interested in Ladd Chicago who he says doesn't want LA to get him who he says doesn't want Anaheim to get him. So there is 3. Washington i believe was the other. Believe 6 teams in total were mentioned. The other 2 being Florida and Tampa.

Chicago.

Armia was very good again. Set up Ladd a few times but Ladd couldn't capitalize Copp? Played 4th line with 2 black holes. What you expect

They only have 1 first currently unless I missed something. Pitt needs to make the playoffs for their first to go to Toronto

Lawless says the jets are getting calls on Ladd and that 1 team gas already offered a 1st and prospect. Ladd is gonna be a hot commodity here. He's gonna get a nice return

Ladd is producing at a 1st line level tho. He's on pace for over 20 goals after a very slow start. 6 million a year don't bother me for Ladd, the 6 years does tho. 6 x 4 is fine with me.

Floyds gotta Floyd i guess.

So no announcements yet as to who the coaches will be this year... All we really know is MOS is back, Hall is back, Buck has been promoted to QB coach, Walters mentioned Wylie will be back.. But nothing else.. Any idea as to who the rest of the coaching staff will be? I'm assuming most defensive coaches besides Miles will be back but.. On the O side of things? Buck,Lapo,Wylie? Who else?

Wheeler and Buff are for sure but they are also not as as young as Scheif,Ehlers,Trouba, Helle,Connor etc... throw Lemieux in there 2 cuz i think he's gonna help the bottom 6 out significantly. Coaching is a question mark tho, it really is. Helle was over played, Maurice rode him in to the ground, similar to what Claude Noel did with Pavelec the first 2 seasons back... guy played 2 many games in a row at times, Maurice needs to learn that sometimes a kid you just called up from the minors needs a break, he needs a rest, sit a game or 2, let hutch play.. It was actually ridiculous how much they rode Hellebuyck in to the ground here. Goes back to the Moose and is 3 0 0 with a ridiculous save percentage and a a ridiculous goals against average. The guy is good, he just was so over played.

Scheifele,Ehlers,Trouba are definitely core guys moving forward, I'm not 100 percent sold on Trouba tho but... I think he has potential to be very good but at the same time, It wouldn't upset me if they moved him for help elsewhere. Kyle Connor will be a very good player for the Jets also. Kid has star written all over him. Hellebuyck i think makes a big difference also to this team in the future. Some pieces are there, Others aren't. I agree change is needed. I'm just not sure how much. I don't think it's as much as some think but i don't think it's as little as others think either. I think coaching plays a role and i'm probably not as sold on Maurice as i was before. He makes some very head scratching roster decisions at times. I'm not sure if he's gonna be the coach when this team is ready to compete on a consistent basis.
