Speculation: 2019-20 Expected Blackhawks Roster Part 4 - To Eberle or Not to Eberle - that is the question..

[RememberTheRoar]

I talk to Scott. He has no inside information about any of this yet.

Well I will just go ahead and sit my ass down then, haha.

Didn't mean it like that. Just share information when I have it sometimes. Organization is pretty tight-lipped at this point.

Your post and thoughts weren't wrong on the whole, just not the case in this instance. Yet.

Rangers already have top 9 C's set for next year

Zibanejad
Strome
Howden

Howden is part of rebuild (Was key piece of Mcd + Miller trade) and got his first full season in NHL last year

AA would make no sense for them

I forgot about Ryan Strome. I’ll delete the post.

I definitely didn't take offense to what you said, I was just trying to be funny while making it clear you have more knowledge than me on this one.

Like you said, in general, what I said is largely true but not in this specific instance.

I laughed haha. It was funny. Glad you took it well, sometimes things don't come across via text as intended.

Anisimov @ 5 million in real dollars owed after July 1 when his modified NMC goes away would have to be real tempting to Ottawa. Notoriously cheap and devoid of any decent vet centers. They are really devoid of anything on the NHL roster (that they would consider trading) that I would be interested in but they do own 7 2nd round picks in the next 3 drafts and Batherson would be an interesting prospect maybe along with a midround pick to build something around. I love the idea of move Anismov and trade for Haula (I would not be opposed to sign Brock Nelson either if it can be done for something around Anisimov's cap hit).

He'd still have an NTC and Ottawa being the biggest tire fire in the league right now, I'd feel pretty confident he wouldn't waive to playing there.

Cap friendly lists the current year as the last year of his modified NMC. There is NO trade limitations in his contract for 19/20 which begins July 1. Anisimov will go where he is traded if he wants to get a pay check....unless capfriendly is wrong.

You are right. I coulda sworn he still had some sort of trade clause, but I looked at capfriendly too and they don't list anything (and I trust them as a site).

Still, would have to feel for Arty if he has to go to Ottawa. He might be better off retiring then playing there.

Yep, Anisimov’s contractual ability to have any say in where he goes ends soon.

I know your not supposed to look at it like this but it would feel wrong for Hawks to send AA to that dumpster fire

You send guys like Hayden to an organization like that

 

[u2wojo]

Maybe I would have some sympathy for someone who actually did something in the Indianhead, but AA will have collected almost 19 million to make the playoffs half the seasons he has been here and lose in the first round the half we did. That is not all on him, but he hasn't been a driver of success during his tenure. He has been a role player in a stretch of mediority we haven't seen in more then a decade.

i am sorry but i don't.....

the reason is sports like the nhl is a 2 headed monster. there is the sport/fan loving side and the other side it the business side.

flip side, look at Seabs contract and seabs not waiving his NMC.

it is business.

AA seems like a laid back easy going type anyway.

Going to Ottawa would be a fate worse than death. I only wish it upon the worst of my enemies.

Great city. Abysmal team.

Yeah it's gotta be tough on some of these guys .. getting paid millions and millions and millions of dollars and maybe having to play on a team that sucks for a year or two ... "it's a hard luck life!"

Ottawa is not a travel destination like Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal (my favorite) but there is good food and a lot to do. More of a short weekend trip type city compared to spending 4-5 days there.

It is no New Orleans though...

Guaranteeing that there will always be at least one person who has this take is as reliable as the sun rising the next morning.
