Korchinski for Shane Wright? They're both underachieving.

If Kyle was really cool, he'd swing Korchinski+ for Fantilli

 

[Clownish]

I mean sure but every team is eyeing this type of deal

How many teams are able to deal from such a position of strength where they can afford to toss a 2C to the Hawks and have another center ready to move up into that role while also needing a defensive PROSPECT? It's pretty much just talking about Frost. I'm sure Detroit isn't giving up Marco Kasper. Anyone else that might have something like that is a playoff team or in the Western Conference and probably not interested in swapping prospects.

 

[CallMeShaft]

I don't see why we'd be looking for a 2C for the future.

We already have Nazar, Moore, Boisvert (Musto's fav), and Greene who could potentially fit there long term. We're also likely drafting high next year, so we could realistically be adding any one of Hagens, Frondell, Misa, McQueen, Ryabkin.

We need wingers for the future, not centers. Also, wingers cost a shit ton less to acquire.

Seattle already signed Mahura and Montour on defense in the offseason and I doubt they want the optics of giving up on their first ever pick. I haven't watched them, but their lineup I'm looking at says Wright is their top line center with Beniers as their 2C. If that's the case, they're probably trying to make it work with Wright rather than giving up on him.

Centers can always move to wing.

Worried ownership is putting on some pressure to do one of those “speed up” the rebuild type of crap moves that never seem to work.

Those are all POSSIBLE, not probable, solutions for 2+ years from now. They need to generate more offense now and in the nearer future.

 

[Pez68]

Not a huge fan of Nazar anymore. Was excited when he was drafted but I no longer think he's anything special.

I'm higher on Boisvert and Moore at this point.

Probably good news for Blackhawks' fans. We all remember your Brandon Hagel take.

Just don’t do something stupid please

Again

Morgan Frost fits this and again Torts has put him in doghouse

Frost getting out of Philly would be best for his career and Frost as our #2C for now would be major upgrade and would mean there is no rush to push Nazer into role until he is ready

Question is what could we offer Flyers that fits value wise from Hawks end and need from Flyer end?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Oliver Moore is just Andrew Cogliano. Good third liner eventually but nothing more. Which makes Davidson borderline crying over him at the draft hilarious.

Korchinski for Shane Wright? They're both underachieving.

I have thought of that exact trade recently, but I don't think that it would work, as I don't think it fits the needs of the Kraken.
However.....maybe Nazar for Wright?

Probably good news for Blackhawks' fans. We all remember your Brandon Hagel take.

yeah, that was a bad one.

Nazar could still be a useful player but I don't think he's going to explode or anything.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Centers can always move to wing.

But centers cost MORE than wingers. Why go after a center, pay a premium for them, just so you can move one of the kids off to the wings?

Those are all POSSIBLE, not probable, solutions for 2+ years from now. They need to generate more offense now and in the nearer future.

I don't give a shit about offense now. We're not competing now, are we?

 

[Kevin Musto]

f*** no

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Who do the Hawks have that they could trade for nhl-ready talent, especially a difference-making second liner center? Wouldn't it have to be a vet? My guess is the management is manipulating Kurashev, Reichel and Nazar to see what more they can get out of them.
