Trade Deadline- What to Do??

[Hawkaholic]

He is definitely more valuable to us than he is in a trade. I just don't see anyone giving up a first for him anytime soon. I would do a 2nd and a B level prospect just to shed the salary though.

I've always thought that AA's contract, while not awful, would lower his value and for that reason the Hawks would keep him. 3 more years at 4.55 is a big commitment for a team. That's much tougher to take on than just a rental.

Most teams would sign him to a 3 year 4.5mil contract if he were a UFA on July 1st this year. But to do that and give up a higher pick? Just won't happen.

Other than moving Wingels for a pick (which likely won't happen until the last minute), maybe the only way we get value back enough to move Anisimov and Hartman is as a package -- most likely to Winnipeg. I'd add in their choice of Murphy or Rutta to get Trouba.

Other than that, I guess just Anisimov to Columbus is still a possibility. What do you guys think of Ryan Murray? He's a young dman who has a few years of NHL experience under his belt. Can't place if he is a right or left. What's his upside?

Strickland said Hawks and Preds are working on something.

Seabrook for Josi E5.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If Hartman is on block and Canes have shown interest

Wonder if a Hartman for Julien Gauthier + mid pick deal is possible

Gauthier has talent but is a developmental project

Could also ask about Jake Bean

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Seabrook for Josi E5.

haha. Strickland is a legit source though, no?

 

[Hawkaholic]

Wingels for a 3rd round to NSH..book it

And that is exactly what a rival GM will pitch to Stan. He can't cave.

Maybe that's where Wingels lands. They certainly would not be in on Anisimov. Doubt Hartman either.

I think so?

 

[AmericanDream]

I think so?

yeah he is decent...but honestly, most of these clowns suck...I think most of us have a similar track record with pulling shit out of our ass just with a smaller following on twitter!!

 

[AmericanDream]

well, so far my do a shot per trade "drinking game" hasn't worked out so well today....still very very sober!

Someone on the main board said he tweeted out it's Hartman, then he quickly deleted the tweet, FWIW.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I miss TSN trade deadline coverage

SN coverage sucks

 

[ChiHawks10]

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If its Hartman it better be a damn good deal for Hawks

If we give him away and he haunts us for next decade playing for Preds,, Ugh

I agree. I'd like to see a 1st, or a 2nd + A-level prospect.

 

[ChiHawk21]

if hes going to the preds the hawks must really like the return

Yeah, it would have to be a great return to trade him within the division.

 

[clydesdale line]

Tolvanen please.

Don't the Preds have a good farm of defenseman prospects?

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

I'm not too worried about trading Hartman in the division.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Now Freidman and panel is talking about Hartman
