By the time this team is any good Mitch Marner will be over 30 years old potentially making 12 million dollars. I just don't see a fit.
2024-25 Roster…too soon?

The only reason you do it is in a 3 way deal with another team where Marner goes to the 3rd team, the Hawks get futures and the Leafs get Jones with zero retention.
Outside of that specific scenario, Marner makes zero sense for the Hawks.

Bedard needs help. 12 million is too much tho. He does make more sense for someone trying to compete next year tho.

Capfriendly has rolled over. After Reichel is put on the roster, Hawks will be 9.5 million below the cap floor. So you’ve got some work to do Kyle.

Notable RFA's:
Joey Anderson
Mackenzie Entwhisle
Reese Johnson
Taylor Raddysh
If all 4 are retained, I'm betting we are still 4 million under the floor

Onky one likely retained is Anderson. They all have arb rights and Davidson won’t mess with that after Kurashev last year.

Apparently Friedman said Carolina isnt likely to sign Necas.
Sign me up.
Wonder what it would cost?

Probably the Tampa pick+ and hopefully you get him signed in the 6-6.5M range.

Yeah Necas is asking for 8x8 at least. For a non physical second line centre, hell to the no.

I guess we will see but I don’t think he has that value. Or the resume/command to do so.

Pretty sure he's more of a winger. But yes we are too soon in the timeline to move this kind of assets it would cost to bring him in. I'd only make a splash on the open market.
The hawks should definitely look to add a few free agents:
Marchessault-cup winner veteran winger could go to the hawks for an overpay, pipe dream though, could entice him with an overpay on a short term contract with a clause to move him to a contender come deadline or draft with retention could be a good temporary mentor/wingman for Bedard
DeBrusk-if bruins don't sign him hawks should be all over this. He is only what, 26-27? 7 year deal should be no problem brings a lot to like
Montour-another guy who would probably go to a contender but if there are no suitors hawks need a rhd
Pesce- Carolina is losing a couple pieces hawks should be in on any Carolina casualty
TT-see above
Skej-see above
Lindholm-perfect top 6 center to shelter and be a matchup center looking for a big payday or cup contender
Domi-good feisty player would benefit the whole team
Those are just the free agents some trades will open up and hawks need to be getting draft day in order getting ready for any potential trades they should be looking for immediate forward help preferably veterans in the 25-27 age range along with more veteran leader types.

Honestly not that big of a fan of Necas, going to cost too much and get overpaid.
Although he is a good player. But sum is less than the parts.

It did play out poorly. He ended up overpaid for what he had produced at the time. I think it’s awesome he had a breakout year this year and way outproduced that contract.
But both Kurashev and Davidson expressed it was a tough process and not fun to go through. Davidson will not be going to arbitration with any of these players this year, he simply won’t allow it.

"breakout"
He got boosted by Bedard
Separate them next season, and you easily slash 20 points from Kurashev's totals

He was also like the only player on this team who could play with Bedard and not look like an absolute chump. So yes he was boosted, but I will give him some credit as well.
