I can see him back in the desert soon. 3 hours ago, dudacek said: As things stand right now, I will be shocked if Auston takes a penny less than $12. i doubt he will sign a deal that doesn’t make him the highest paid player in the league. If he was gonna take $10m he'd have signed by now. He's going to hold out like Nylander, prolly go play in Europe or KHL because money. 9 minutes ago, Randall Flagg said: The Coyotes traded Strome and Perlini to the Blackhawks for Nick Schmaltz. Tank justified. Just think, if BUF wins that OT game vs ARI, then Strome ends up in BUF and Eichel is in the desert.

This is an interesting deal. Schmaltz was very good last year. Seems like the Blackhawks are hoping to turn one cheap young player into two before Schmaltz becomes expensive (he’s an RFA this offseason). Are the Hawks just in eternal cap hell?

Seems like the Blackhawks are hoping to turn one cheap young player into two before Schmaltz becomes expensive (he’s an RFA this offseason). Are the Hawks just in eternal cap hell? Schmaltz is playing really bad, not winning puck battles and bad possession numbers. Solid trade for the hawks, Put Strome with Kane and see how it goes. Hawks are trying to create two top lines again. This actually makes sense to me, Strome was in the doghouse in Arizona, they might regret this trade later on.
Hoss Posted November 26, 2018 Report Posted November 26, 2018 Strome and Debrincat had great success in Erie. I’d be surprised if the Blackhawks have sunk as low as putting a guy struggling in Arizona right into one of their most important roles.

Well if I may believe coyotes fans, Strome was in the doghouse with his coach and had the best possession numbers on the entire team. Hawks might have been a bit desperate making this move, Schmaltz has scored a lot of points for them. But they need a Center that can drive possession, surprisingly Toews isn't doing that this year and neither was Schmaltz.

The voting was based solely on this year only. Hall and Barkov have similar stats but on teams below .500 at this point.
bg17 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Posted November 26, 2018 Coyotes defending with numbers....poorly.
Marions Piazza Posted November 26, 2018 Report Posted November 26, 2018 Nylander has until Friday to sign or else he will have to sit out the year. Babcock believes that he will be back before the deadline.

Do you think Hawks ever move on from Kane?? If you were the Sabres GM would you be interested in Kane for some picks, prospects to have Kane on Jack's RW for the next four years? Reinhart, Scandella, CJ Smith, and San Jose 1st for Kane??

Kane replaces Reinhart as a RW'er, Pilut in for Scandella, Smith and the SJ 1st I could live with for a 7 mil a season Kane ?

We all know Kane is one helluva player, but he is 30. how many 70+ point seasons does he have left? the first time he dips below 70 points, that $10.6M salary will be rough. I'd be torn if this were a real thing.

That Kane conversation was held in another thread and it has some interesting takes. I don't believe that offer is enough. I don't know if I want Kane around this team either. Also: the Flyers fired Ron Hextall.

That coaching staff, at least Hakstol (I have no clue who the assistants are), is Hextall's going off the playbook all or nothing move. You'd have to think that he was probably on his way out anyway if Hakstol was sent packing.
