Get over yourself. This isn’t the way the league works with GM’s competing through spite.Unless a team desperately needs the money, giving more ammo to Chicago after they lucked their way into Bedard seems foolish.

Hawks should get Kane and Toews back ..maybe even Debrincat and go for it with Bedard.The Chicago Blackhawks are currently slated to have 41 million in cap space for 2023-2024, and a frankly hilarious 71.6 million in cap space for 2024-2025.
The 2023 free agent class is the poops, and there’s no better way to undermine a rebuild than making some long-term ufa signing on a guy who happened to the best of a bad selection. Most of GMKD’s comments suggest he recognizes this.
So the Blackhawks are gonna need bodies, just to hit the floor. And we still want picks and prospects.
List the contracts you’d like to move and the sweetener(s) you think would get it done.
My offseason plan involves Yamamoto to Seattle for the lowest of their three 2nds. He's a hometown kid for the Kraken that's scored 20 goals in this league, I think it's good for both sides. I think he needs a fresh start and Edmonton needs someone meatier in a puck retrieval role as a top 6 RW.If Chicago wanted Yamamoto we could work something out, but we aren't paying you to take him. Mid round pick coming back to Edmonton, and you have yourself a tenacious little honey badger with middle six scoring ability.
Yeah ok bowmanHawks should get Kane and Toews back ..maybe even Debrincat and go for it with Bedard.
? They're gonna be good with a solid farm system already and now Bedard. What's salty about that?Could you possibly be any more salty about the Hawks landing Bedard?
Don't know if it's spite so much as getting creative in order to not make the rich even richer.Get over yourself. This isn’t the way the league works with GM’s competing through spite.
Seabrook and Keith too, right?Hawks should get Kane and Toews back ..maybe even Debrincat and go for it with Bedard.
Los Angles adds a 2nd and 3rd and its a dealAny interest in Arthur Kaliyev or Alex Turcotte and Sean Durzi attached to Cal Petersen? Maybe sending Tyler Johnson back with some sort of retention?
To Chicago:
Alex Turcotte
Sean Durzi
Cal Petersen
To Los Angeles:
Tyler Johnson ($2.5 million retained)
That might leave the Kings enough room to sign both Gavrikov and Korpisalo.
Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Johnson - Vilardi
Iafallo - Lizotte - Grundstrom
Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Clarke
Bjornfot - Roy
Korpisalo
Copley

I think you’re wrong about the long time thing. Several D men will come onboard over the next 2 years. 3 good forwards on the team (out of 14 LOL) 2 looking ready in the minors. 2 in JR’s, 2 in college, this years other picks, next years 2 1sts, oh and some kid named Bedard.Sure they can acquire a few guys who are still legitimate NHLers (but mostly bottom 6 even if a couple aren't) but nobody who is going to part of their future. They are going to be awful for a long time to come.
Other teams arent going to worry about their trade partner getting too good, unless it's a divisional foe - in which case, trades are extrememly rare. And nobody is expecting the Hawks to trade with the Blues or Predators here.? They're gonna be good with a solid farm system already and now Bedard. What's salty about that?

Turcotte at this point has very little value , he's like Humpty Dumpty (so many concussions) . Davidson has to be careful which goalie / and or bad contracts he gets to maximize returning assets.I'm not even sure the pick is necessary, Turcotte still has value as a prospect with potential that fits the age timeline...
So the Bruins throw in the unproven Lysell?That’s funny. I was worried it was awful for Boston. Three prospects that might never make it for three guys in their mid 20’s that are playing first line/starter minutes.
But I did say it was crazy and never would happen anyway.
I think you would be lucky to dump him for free. I think you would be taking back equal salary.If Chicago wanted Yamamoto we could work something out, but we aren't paying you to take him. Mid round pick coming back to Edmonton, and you have yourself a tenacious little honey badger with middle six scoring ability.
