You can probably acquire Kevin Labanc for future considerations.Chicago isn't trading assets for anyone.
Other than insulating Connor, I see no need for the Hawks to make any trade for a top 6 forward at this time.Plenty of cheap options in MTL
Pearson
Ylonen
Evans
Dvorak
RHP
Monahan
Maybe even Anderson
Trade for Domi and Reaves+ Domi playing limited time in Toronto, would be a good fit with Bedard. Reaves could replace Perry if he doesn't returnCould Connor Murphy be moved?
Not that I disagree with your stance, but there isn't a lot of urgency from Vancouver at the moment either. Our cap is ok, even better with Soucy LTIR'd for now, and Garland is pushing our 3rd line into relevancy. If it's not a fit though, no pressure.No thank you. I feel like we could get Garland for far less than Murphy, and could use Murphy to return better assets than Connor Garland.
Not that I don't like the player or think they are comparable, I am just factoring Vancouver's desire to shed cap moving forward and the lack of urgency for the Hawks to really need a move like this.
Kubalik saves us a bit of cap, but just shifts Garlands roster spot to a less useful player. He's available because we have too many forwards. Considering the 3 years of retention, I don't think the return is worth it for us either.Kubalik (24% retained) 1.9M + Ott 4th to Chicago for Ott 3rd.
Kubalik + Van 2nd to Vancouver for Garland (19% retained) 4.05M + Van 3rd.
Ottawa gets their 3rd back for their 4th and retaining on Kubalik who I seen posters say they want to move. Frees up some capspace for Pinto eventually.
Vancouver gets their 2nd back and frees up 4M longterm for their 3rd and retaining less than 1M on Garland the next 2 years after this. Kubalik could be kept for depth or flipped elsewhere.
Chicago gets Garland for 4M, better cap hit for what he provides, the next 2 + years for one of their extra 2nd's while getting a 4th rounder as well. Garland is a good age for the Chicago group as well as he should remain useful the next few years and could be kept around if he works out.
No thanks sir. Do like veleno though.Fabbri

Reaves sucks, Perry doesn’t. Rather have Perry out of the lineup than a Reaves in it.Trade for Domi and Reaves+ Domi playing limited time in Toronto, would be a good fit with Bedard. Reaves could replace Perry if he doesn't return
I don’t blame you. Reeves is terrible. You would be better to run with 11 forwards than a full forward lineup with Reeves in it.Reaves sucks, Perry doesn’t. Rather have Perry out of the lineup than a Reaves in it.
