Would Hossa accept a trade to somewhere like Phoenix? Starting 2017-18, he makes only $1M per with a cap hit of $5.275M. Could be attractive for certain teams, but he does have a NMC (and if he retires, the Hawks are screwed).
That would probably be the best case scenario for Chicago...Panarin would basically take Hossa's pay slot.
Monahan got 6.4.
Panarin is definitely more valuable than him and less valuable than Tarasenko. Unless he breaks 80 this year, then CHI will make a killing in the trade.
If he puts up 75-80 points again this year, I imagine his price would have to start at 7M per season.
7.5M for 7 years.
Hawks gonna be in trouble.
The chances he signs with the Hawks is slim. He is going to put up big numbers again and will be looking for Tarasenko level numbers. Hawks will be hard pressed to fit him in without further diluting their already weakened team.
He is going to resign with Blackhawks, I don't think there are many other teams he would sign. Maybe Capitals and Blues, but they won't have room for him, won't pay the price and Bowman isn't going to give Panarin a chance to play against Hawks at least 5 times a year. So count them out.
And the fact how Bowman is handling the cap this offseason, it seems that he is letting some extra space for bonus overages so they wouldn't affect in next years cap.
If Bowman is going to trade Panarin, I'm not sure that he want's to play in every team in NHL. I am just speculating, but I could see him going back to KHL.

There are teams like Islanders, that are in a dire need of good forwards. What winger will decline an offer to live in New York and play with John Tavares?
He put up 77 points last year assuming he does that again and I see no reason why he won't what's he looking at? Would 7 million be in the ballpark? I can't envision a situation where the Hawks don't move heaven and earth to get Panarin done but what's it going to cost?

Ballparking this out, the Hawks can do it. The rub is that they would need to be replacing every single other RFA with someone who makes $600k, unless they decide to trade Crawford or Seabrook (neither of which is happening) or Hossa were to suffer a career-ending injury (which he hasn't yet).
Finding that many 600k guys who can play (if they all make even 800k, Hawks probably can't sign him, depending on what happens with the ceiling), would be really, really, rough though.
Perhaps a reason for why he wont is because Kane likely wont do as well either?
Panarin can be a solid 50pt guy but I doubt hes scoring 70+ more than another few times, if that.
The Hawks have 15mil in cap space for next year as it is right now.
There are no major RFAs or UFAs, other than Panarin.
The cap could probably go up 2-3mil, and they could quite possibly lose Marcus Kruger in the expansion draft. If that happens, they will have 21mil in cap space with 12 guys to sign, or if Kruger doesn't get picked up, 17mil in space with 11 to sign.
Hawks could just hold out on Panarin, with the intention of matching any offer sheet (as long as it's not too outlandish, and get Panarin for a decent price. If he goes to the KHL, they hold his rights until he wants to come back.
Not too worried.

You don't say?Maybe a winger who want's to play with a real contender or with his friends.
2. Hossa likely retires next year when his salary goes down to a 1m. Hawks then get hit with a 4.6m recapture penalty for 4 years. If you think the NHL is going to let that slide forget it. It takes cap circumvention seriously. They are going to take it on the chin.
.
What's with the pipe-dream that the Hawks are going to get hit with recapture for Hossa? Everybody knows as soon as Hossa doesn't want to play anymore, he'll go on LTIR like all the rest.
Lower back injuries are nearly impossible to disprove medically. You really think that the NHL is going to take the legal risk of telling a player who feels he is unable to physically perform at an NHL level to suck it up and play? No way.
That's what you're saying. You're implying that if Hossa says he's injured, that the NHL is going to overrule a team doctor and tell Hossa that if he wants the rest of his money, he has to play.
Good luck with that. His cap hit is gone as soon as he decides it is. For the record though, I hope he plays as long as Yagr. Love the guy.
He was absolutely able to produce offence on his own without Kane's help. They make each other better, but neither depends on the other.
You don't say?

If that other guy with Tarasenko and Panarin is Kulemin, I get your point (I can't recognize who is the third guy). If not, read my post from first page.
Panarin is not going to play for Blues. Bowman won't trade him if it's not insane deal.
