[Cubs2024wildcard]

Probably for a pick.

McPhee bending over to help the other perennial Cup contender with their cap problems. Hope he got a couple of dinners out of it.

lindberg is a center for sure, he's RFA. Marchessault is listed as a C on capfriendly, could play left wing I guess.

Other way around. Hes a winger who can play Centre. He played all his games last year at wing.

You have to think a prospect is attached to kruger...Pokka?

The original rumor was that the Hawks leaving TVR exposed was part of it.

Did his $2m signing bonus get paid yesterday?

This is basically a expansion draft deal. The Hawks would have moved TVR themselves otherwise.

Honest question, how would they have avoided leavin TVR available?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Must be a Bernier-like trade Toronto did last season. Trade was late so he could collect his bonus.

Trading him to a team that had a spot available. Or one that was going to lose a better Dman so he could step into their role.

Dude, we just saw Vegas flipping TVR to Carolina for a 2nd. Chicago could've very well done that themselves, prior to the expansion draft.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

These signing bonus hand shake deals are wacky. Either make signing bonuses stay with the cap of the team that pays them, or let teams trade guys and retain signing bonuses within the player's upcoming year of their contract.

It seems like a CBA loophole. Why is it that accrued salary throughout the year stays on each team's cap, but signing bonuses paid out don't if the player is traded?

 

[Teemu]

Past considerations maybe

Everyone is saying for future considerations on Twitter:

 

[thesaadfather]

Works for me. Hate to see him go though.

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Lol a 7th round pick fer sure.

Guys a warrior. Vegas can have him

 

[Shrimper]

McPhee couldn't get something alongside it to take it from them?

 

[JLarucci23]

Even minus his 3 million, were still over the cap. NHL needs to make its decision on Hoss.

Guess they forgot to chance the word "future" to "past" Considerations.

 

[SquiddFX]

I hope Future Considerations gets a chance with the Hawks. Poor guy gets traded multiple times per season.
