Stan may have pulled out because of Hossa, but it could be beneficial to the Hawks. Teams knew we were desperate and could have taken advantage of them. Now they are not quite as desperate so may be able to dump him for less, or possibly get an asset in return that we could use.

Maybe you missed the tweets but the beat writers seem to think he will still be moved. If not it is a mistake.

Kruger is a negative asset ,, Holding onto him doesn't make situation any better
Infact it makes Hawks situation worse
Stanley has overvalued Kruger and it has cost Hawks dearly and will continue to cost Hawks.
We lost Danault + 2nd and now this debacle

No. He has negative value to you but analysts and the numbers say the complete opposite.
I am not a fan of holding on to him but if the Hawks can get better value a few days later then the Hawks should wait.

Well, LV took who I expected they would all along. But Kruger is still here...
Maybe he's moved tomorrow. Have to wait and see.

How does it make it worse? And how do you know Kruger has negative value?

Sharp had a cap hit of $5.9 AAV and the cap was what $71 million. Sharp was being paid double what Kruger is, double. That fact makes it completely different.
Sharp did not turn out great and no one is saying that.

I agree. I'd like Kruger to be moved also. But I understand why Stan would pull the deal knowing what he does about Hossa. Teams had more of an advantage making moves with the Hawks, as they had no flexibility. They needed to just salary dump someone. Now, Stan may be able to extract a little more out of him than they would have with Vegas. So maybe he's moved at the draft. Could still go to Vegas tomorrow, also, for someone they selected in the expansion draft.
Just have to wait it out.

I think McPhee got way too cute with all of his pre expansion draft maneuvering and really screwed himself out of some talented players to getsome magic beans

Is this the same source that told him weeks ago about imminent trade of core piece?
So far Jay and his sources aren't showing much

Holding on to Kruger is absolutely the smart move if Hossa is gone. You can't lose 2 of your top 3 defensive forwards when your remaining defensive forward is also a 1C expected to produce. That's completely untenable.
Your fixation on Danault remains hilarious.

Kruger has been absolute **** these past two years
He brings very little of value at this point and extending him was foolish move. Keeping him going forward and further hurting team would just clarify that window of contention is closed and Stanley is not fit to be GM of NHL team
Danault is just one of many talents Stanley has lost thru his poor performance these past two offseasons
Its a move that has hurt Hawks and will hurt Hawks for years to come
This idea that keeping this waste of a roster spot and cap that is Marcus Kruger is a positive in light of losing Hossa is laughable. There is no justification or defense for keeping Kruger in Chicago for another year
But then again you will do what you always do and defend Stanley. Surprised you aren't celebrating TVR departing Hawks since you hated him so much ,, Odd that you will defend a useless plug in Kruger (That is what he is now ,, A run of the mill 4th liner with very little to offer) while trashing an actual productive NHL talent in TVR
Hawks lost one of the best players on team in morning and a productive player for nothing in evening

Maybe this news can back some people from the ledge so they can sleep a little tonight. We'll see if this materializes tomorrow

That is not what Jay claimed weeks ago
Jay backtracking on his own claim ,, Multiple sources told him a core piece was being traded
But now he is claiming his source never claimed such a thing
