If Darling keeps playing this way, do you think about moving Crawford?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Darling is a UFA after this season. If he keeps playing this way, he won't be as big of a discount from Corey as he would be now.

 

I'm willing to bet he gets no more than 2.5-3 mil which is still half of Crawford's contract. I wish the Hawks knew this a year or two ago. Could've traded Crawford and kept Saad. I probably wouldn't deal him now (Vegas could take Kruger in the expansion draft) but I wouldn't be opposed to it either.

It comes down to whether or not the Blackhawks can reasonably move Brent Seabrook. That's a long, ugly contract, but he is a blue liner. If not him, pray for an increase and try to move Kruger.

I would love for the Hawks to expose Seabrook to the Knights if that's possible.

No offense, but Crawford has essentially carried this team until his appendix burst. He's not going anywhere quite yet.

I tend to agree. I would hate to lose Panarin, however. A young talent like him may be too hard for this organization to lose. Saad was bad, Sharp was necessary, but Panarin looks like he has a bright future and I would hate to see it in another uniform.

That 2nd goal for the Hawks tonight was a thing of beauty. Finally, a great game for the teams power play. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. By the way, that Panarin one-timer seems legit and is reminiscent of Ovechkins PP one timers.

It isn't, considering he has a no-movement clause.

 

No-movement? Never heard of that clause in sports. Specifically made in case of expansion teams?

It's just an added bonus to Seabrooks contract, and they do exist around the NHL. They are similar to No Trade Clauses in the MLB. For any player who has a NMC in their contract, their team is required to use an expansion protection spot on that player.

The no movement blocks a team from putting a player on waivers and dumping him in the minors, that's the added difference between it and a no-trade clause. Basically, it prevents a team from doing anything other than buying a player out.

Panarin has been the Hawks' best skater this year (I said it). Without him, the Hawks would likely have a bottom 10 offense in the league. I think you can't lose him. Order of priority should be to move Kruger, Seabrook (if there's a way), Crawford, and then Planarian.

Another Russian on the way?

Hawks offense showed up yesterday finally picking up Darling even though Darling didn't play terribly.

That Hino blind backhander for the GWG was a highlight reel goal.

Hawks merrily rolling along with 5th straight win. Love when Hartman and Hiney score.

YES.

 

Pray for a cap jump.

Seabrook has an NMC, but I'm guessing he is the guy Stan and Co are going to try to move.

Hearing the Panarin extension with CHI as reported by @ByScottPowers is two years with a $6M AAV. Creative.

 

That's from Elliot F on Twitter.

 

That is pretty awesome.

I mean, for a "bridge" deal the money is still high, but it buys them some more time for the cap to hopefully go up, Hossa to retire, or figure out a way to kill Seabrook and Kruger, ha.

 

Figure Kruger will be gone in the expansion draft.

So.Many.Rookies.

 

More. Eric. Semborski.

 

Couple more chances to win another Cup then hope the Canadian economy prospers.

Figure Kruger will be gone in the expansion draft.

 

He or TVR most likely. I think Kruger is definitely tradeable though.

NBC has gotta be pumped for the Wild - Blue Jackets Cup Final
