GDT: 2025 NHL Trade Deadline - March 7

[Hawkaholic]

the hawks have a handful of bad contracts on the books, they don't spend their money well, thats what...what do you not understand about wasting cap space

The part that we can still do what you are talking about, because we still have lots of cap space?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Cool

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Mrazek and Smith for Veleno

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Donato extension would be just another bad decision by KD we will have to deal with going forward

Davidson has shown no ability to build an NHL roster and has repeatedly been disaster handing out contracts to "Vet character" guys

Enough with the mistakes

 

[ColbyChaos]

Huge trade in 2019

if you don't understand that a cap dollar wasted has an opportunity cost then idk what to say anymore to make you understand that

 

[Kevin Musto]

Doing a favor for Mrazek

That's all this is

Veleno sucks

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks got rid of Mrazek who had no place in organization anymore

Veleno sucks but so does Mrazek and Smith

 

[Hawkaholic]

You dont understand that we have tons of cap space so how is there an opportunity wasted?

Veleno sucks

I like this more as a tank move than anything else

 

[CallMeShaft]

Good to see Mrazek moved. Give him a chance back in Detroit. Shame to see Smith go, but I wasn't figuring on him being here next season anyways.

Veleno is nothing.

 

[ClydeLee]

Cool

I recall some mad here Stan didn't draft Velano when they took Beaudin, not a great player but was a much better pick... folks saying it's nothing. He's a center probably better at draws than most Hawks

[MTU34]

Doing Mrazek a favor and taking back Veleno to make the money work. Worst case Veleno is a 13th forward next year when they’ll have to spend to hit the floor anyways

 

[ColbyChaos]

Veleno was a legend in NHL 18 franchise mode

Turns out both weren’t great picks

Explain it. If we have a lot of cap space, we still have an opportunity to make other deals, no? You're complaining about nothing.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Veleno = $2.275M cap hit next year
Mrazek = $4.25M cap hit next year

Hawks open nearly $2M in cap room for next year

-- My math bad, ninja edit not fast enough --

 

[Hattrick Kane]

2018 was just a shitty draft in general outside of the very top of it.

 

[clydesdale line]

Veleno 47% at the dot. That alone helps since we are terrible in faceoffs.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

 

[Fortyfives]

What time is the deadline?

 

[Taze em]

Veleno to Bedard's line confirmed. Finally have talent for our sweet boy!

 

[Hawkaholic]

Yeah, who really cares at this point? Cleared up the goalie situation, and chelped Mrazek out who has been nothing but class.

you don't understand the basic concept of opportunity cost, its not worth discussing anymore...KD is doing great, love the collective 20m+ spent on bums
