If we dont get McKenna which is highly likely, this is my #2 choiceBeyond McKenna, Roobrooeck has been really good in the OHL this season,

Worst the Hawks can pick is 4th and 32nd in round one…best is 1st and maybe 25thThe core is in place with a good draft lottery in 2 weeks.
Bedard-Misa
Nazar
Vlasic-Rinzel
Levshunov
Knight
Lets go
If he wants to stay, then he has to compromise. I don’t mind upping the dollars a bit, but you can’t give him more than 4 years, preferably 3 though.

He would probably just sign with the new team for two reasonsHawks might just tell him go to market get your best offer and if you truly want to be here then we'll decide if we want to match or not
The mathematically equivalent using a 4% discount rate is ~5.875m AAV on a 2 year deal to be equivalent to 4m per on a 3 year deal...would be fine with that if they want him back and don't want to get silly in UFAUnpopular opinion but Hawks should just cave and drive up the AAV by whatever amount to lower the term in a way that makes mathematical sense for Donato/his agent.
If they don't sign Donato they'll have to sign a different UFA anyways, who is if nothing else, not going to be more inclined to give the Hawks any sort of "discount", so either way you're just kind of banking on what level of potential "overpayment" you make for a UFA price as is, and with Donato you have more continuity assurances as far as on ice/off ice fit.
yeah very good points, Davidson was firm on his ask for Donato at the TDL and it looks like he'll be firm on his own bidHe would probably just sign with the new team for two reasons
First is pride, "you don't think I'm worth it, but team X does, clearly they value me more, friendship with Hawks over, team X is my new BFF"
Second is how quickly UFA market works. Probably saw a bit of this on deadline day. Someone offers Donato a deal, he says "ah gee, let me think about it", that team isn't holding that spot indefinitely, if he goes to Hawks and a day later the Hawks say "no, sorry, we aren't matching", then team X may have already allocated their cap and their roster spot somewhere else.
Bye bitch
music to my ears
sounds to me like there won't be a barrage of vets coming inhopefully that means their UFA list is only Marner for the likely max term players
Slaggert, Dach, Moore, Greene, Savoie, Hayes, Ludwinski, Thompson, Lardis, Misiak, would be the "kids" sorted by NHL GP. That doesn't seem too crazy with only 4 entering with any NHL experience and 2 with more substantial experience. Not sure if Misa/Hagens/Frondell/Martone would be likely to play NHL next year, I can see Misa doing 1-year in college with a burn year at end, Hagens likely back to BC and burn year as well.Bedard Turbo Foligno Dickinson Bertuzzi Reichel Nazar Veleno Mikheyev have spots locked up as of now. Kurashev is an RFA that I don't really want back. I'm expecting a Donato or better addition and a vet spare forward. That leaves two spots for a whole mess of kids.
Yep. Moore is pretty much a lock to grab one of the remaining spots and I'd put Slaggert as the front runner for the last one.Slaggert, Dach, Moore, Greene, Savoie, Hayes, Ludwinski, Thompson, Lardis, Misiak, would be the "kids" sorted by NHL GP.
