Dhaliwal just said the Kings are calling Vancouver about Garland.

Update:

Hagel is a good player, but I think the Hawks did great here.

Hagel’s signed for two more seasons at jack shit. This is TB’s Blake Coleman 2.0. Worked out pretty well the first time.

Oh yeah, he's a great pickup, I'm just saying that getting two 1st round picks plus two roster players is a pretty nice haul for Chicago.

Usually that's the kind of thing they give away.

It is, but assuming TB keeps contending those firsts are basically seconds and assuming Chicago keeps sucking those fourths are basically thirds. Modern draft wisdom leaves the gap between those picks more narrow than it first appears.

I understand Tampa's motivation as well, they're trying to make history by winning three Cups in a row in the salary hard cap era which would be history making. They'll worry about the future later lol.

Not that I wish any wellness toward that organization but holy shit if they had just nuked the roster last summer instead of doubling down…

Including the 21 draft they could’ve had, what, 8 first round picks over a few years by holding theirs and trading Kane, DeBrincat and Hagel, plus god knows what prospects? Plus guys like Kubalik, Strome, Kurashev and Murphy would’ve fetched much more then than they could today.

Such a shame.

The Hawks got 4 assets, and not bad ones at that, but why is a rebuilding team trading a 23 year old who has scored 37 points in 55 games this year?

Like, aren't you going to need players like that?

The rebuild is over.

Yeah and if Ottawa were to trade Josh Norris at the deadline you can replace me with Dorion and the beverage with Dorion himself.

At some point a team needs more than picks.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

It looks like Dallas is going to make the playoffs, lose in 4 to Colorado and walk John Klingberg to UFA status. I know you can't give up when you are in the playoff hunt but they could get an absolute haul for Klingberg.

What is funny they still have a legit chance of winning the cup while mortgaging the future. The Knights on the other hand, not so much chance of winning.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I don’t think there’s any chance of this happening in season but…

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

You also gotta ask if there are still people insane enough to trade for Seth Jones. Not like the Hawks were the only ones who were willing to go nuts for him last year.

I betcha Boston would do it.

Hawks fans will be asking to bring back the local tv blackout.

That contract they gave him hasn't even kicked in yet, and he has a ten team no trade right.

He is going to retire a Hawk. Whether they like it or not.

But he's still a very good player. He's a legit #1 D. And he pays the right side (rare).

I'm not sure that he's such a hard player to move.
