Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VGK] Marcus Kruger for Future Considerations

[ObeyPerry]

Watch this, Radulov come to Chicago. With space saved from Hossa, Krueger, Radulov is coming.

Radulov wouldnt last two weeks under Qstache.

 

[wej20]

What's the betting that they retain 1-1.5 million and then flip him picks/prospects at the deadline?

 

[Never]

Vegas will pay the bar tab when the Blackhawks come to town for the first time.

Dunno if Vegas could afford to pay for the bar tab given Kane and Quenneville are on the team.

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

Dude, Kruger is a solid add...

Vegas just got one of the best #3 centers and PK'ers in the league....

Sorry that you don't know hockey... Losing Kruger hurts the Hawks on the ice...

You realize Vegas could get a 2nd, or even a late 1st for him? but if I was Vegas I would keep him...

At half price he'd be an amazing 4C for someone.

Yea, they have 7+ to sign a LW to play with Kane if you factor in Hossa as LTIR...

I'm more thinking a deal for Kovalchuk tho...

I could see the Hawks sign him, then trade AA for a nice defenseman like Hanifin for AA and then slide Schmaltz over to 2nd line C -- or just keeping AA all together

Imagine this - and it will make your head explode..

Saad-Toews-Panik
Kovalchuk- Anisimov-Kane
Sharp-Schmaltz-Hartman
Jurco-Kero-Wingles




I can see the haters faces now..

Yea, I can already hear the "no fair"...

 

[ColdSteel2]

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

He did, he got TVR.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Huh? They are getting a good 4th line center for free.

"But this helps Chicago get out of cap trouble, doesn't make sense with my narrative, ah **** it, Chicago's in cap he'll again, better trade Kane!!!! Also, Toews sucks!"

 

[ColdSteel2]

Chicago's bottom 6 is looking kinda weak without Kruger. If Chicago losses anymore forwards I would start to seriously doubt Chicago as a playoff team next season.
If Toews or Kane go down to injury for a long period of time, Chicago could be hurting without those two.

Line 1 LW Saad C Toews RW Kane
Line 2 LW Sharp C Anisimov RW Panik
Line 3 LW Hartman C Schmaltz RW Jurco
Line 4 LW Kero C Hinostroza RW Wingels

Extra's:
LW Bouma
RW Tootoo
LW Hayden
C Dauphin
RW Kampf

What's the problem? That's sick to start with and I'm sure Stan will add a couple more guys at some point. Love your dress/scratch choices btw!

Why did Chicago traded him for future considerations then...

It's possible and I would respect it because of Chicago is capable to do over and over very impressive. But please don't ever say Anisimov can get you Hanifin again. Like ever .

 

[Skobel24]

Not sure why vegas would take Kruger. He's a solid 4C, but expensive.

 

[TorstenFrings]

"But this helps Chicago get out of cap trouble, doesn't make sense with my narrative, ah **** it, Chicago's in cap he'll again, better trade Kane!!!! Also, Toews sucks!"

TBF it does help Chicago out of cap trouble or there would have been no reason for them to give away a great 4C for nothing. Reality is only one of these two teams can afford a 3M+ 4C.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Win-win.

Chicago ditches a terrible contract. Vegas picks up a forward.

 

[Jondre91]

devils should have made a deal for him they need to get to the cap floor

 

[Tifosi]

Why did Chicago traded him for future considerations then...

To get under the cap, Hossa still not on LTIR yet.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kruger has not been good last two years and Stanley's cost Hawks Danault + 2nd when he chose to extend Kruger

It was an awful deal and it needed to go

Thanks for role in two cups but it was well past time for Kruger to depart. The Danault debacle hurts

 

[CupInSIX]

devils should have made a deal for him they need to get to the cap floor

you guys can have Eakin for Nate Bastian

and a free Sbisa

 

[Iceman]

It's not free....they'll have to pay the remaining 3.775 million in actual salary he has remaining over the next 2 seasons, or at least until they flip him for a first round draft pick in 2 trade deadlines (or they can retain salary this deadline and get one sooner).

What? He is a useful player. They need to stay between 55m and 75m cap.

 

[JaegerDice]

Kruger has not been good last two years

This is laughably untrue.

And you still cant seem to grasp that Danault doesnt see anywhere near the same dungeon deployment that Kruger does.

Scmaltz and Danault are better comparables.

 

[Spectra]

Finally, good.

 

[Lays]

I thought Marchessault and Linberg were wingers on their former teams?

JAM was, Lindberg wasn't

 

[Il Stugotz]

 

[JaegerDice]

Give him back to us at 50% cap hit for Kero and a 4th.


Oh who are we kidding. Carolina is gonna take him and get even better, cause theyre smart as hell.

Why stop at Hanifin I'm sure adding a 2nd to Anisimov could get you Erik Karlsson
