Thank you Elon!
Solid leader. Heart and soul type player, will pk and do the little/dirty things needed. He will help show this young blue line how to be a NHLer. Zero downside here and can even be dumped to a contender at the deadline. Very much like this move, solid job KD!

Martinez is always a great add to any Dcore, that said while with Vegas he has been oft injured however still really like the add, he will increase compete level, lead by example and sacrifice himself for the betterment of the team. Another nice veteran add who still has a year left in the tank...

Great deal, I like Alec alot as a defenseman... but I'll never forgive him for the 2014 goal.

We're guaranteed to not lose in a game seven this season.
Granted, we were already guaranteed to not lose in a game season already for a very different reason.

Pretty sure Martinez plays the left side, which won't influence where in the lineup Murphy plays.
always liked him, he's a good addition.
If he misses time, we have room to call up a young player. I think they expect it to happen with Murphy and Martinez. This buys time while getting some NHL quality icetime.

RIP Fugu
Jones has missed a few games here and there but he is very durable. Doubt he misses much time barring some freak/devastating injury
Murphy probably is out by November with something

Jones is not being traded with that contract and Hawks currently have no defender capable of replacing him. Retaining on 6 years of contract isn't really viable either if Hawks intend to become contender in coming years
As for Murphy no one wants him, and he will be injured at some point so I agree a kid will get some experience. Unless of course our GM gives Luke another shitty vet to use over kid which we cant discount

ya the
after traded was me understanding its not likely to happen...guy can hope though...Murphy well, should have traded him 3 years ago when they could. I hope he just gets LTIR'd at some point soon...Need to create spots for kids to grow!

I could even see him possibly improving, at least in quantitative analysis, with a better team around him and more reliable partners.

I don't think there's any chance Jones finishes that contract with Chicago. He'll be moved at some point. The cap is going to go to 100M within the next 3 years. Worse deals will be given out, his deal will start to look pretty fair by comparison. But there's no rush. Have to see if someone like Rinzel forces him out.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong in trying to embed this but this is a nice interview session with Alec.

Thank you Elon!
With guys like him here and the kids starting to step up, how can you not root for this group? This is going to be a likeable, hard working team where a few players will benefit from extended ice time leading them to go to a contender at the deadline- namely him, rightfully so.
