Rangers decline. Puts NYR right back into the market to find another RWer and we won't get anyone nearly as useful with a 2nd rounder.
If CHI would do a 1st (they wouldn't) then NYR would be interested.

The last Celebrini chicago post
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>How? Between Levshunov, Lindstrom, and Demidov, Demidov is absolutely the best player with the most upside. He has upside to be a bigger star than Celebrini, even. He could arguably have the best processing speed of any player ever. Just watch some tape, look at how quickly he adapts on the fly and makes decisions. Watch how he moves and handles the puck in small areas and manipulates defenders. Watch how he uses his feet in entirely unique ways to create deception and set himself up for his next deke/faint/pass/shot. He is insane.</div></div>
The more I watch Demidov the more I'm sold that he should be the guy at #2. The upside is just higher than Lindstrom/Levshunov and we need more elite talent right now rather than higher floor. Also, I'm just not as high on Lindstrom as others are. I see his videos (and I'll continue to watch) and I see his physical maturity right now vs his opposition combined with other elite talent on his team as items that I'm more concerned about than the average fan. He'll be an NHLer for sure. I just see his floor as being very high.
The video below I think does a decent job of highlighting his higher end talent. Some of the things they call positives...I simply disagree with. For example the very 1st highlight ~ 1 min in. He needs to pass that to his teammate and trust his teammate makes the right decision to either A.) shoot it or B.) pass it back. The goalie can't move faster than the passed puck. The video outlines his 10-2 skating which is a nice thing to have in your back pocket and I see Makar's edgework utilizes a lot of this lateral movement, BUT to go up and down the ice like the video shows at 10-2...that'll need to be coached out of him I believe. And CAN! That's Hockey IQ and one of his strengths. What I like the most though is that he went attacks the middle regularly and will sacrifice his body in order to make a play. THAT will 100% translate to the NHL if his body will hold up.

100% agree with you on this. What does this really do for the Hawks long term? Furthermore, overpaying for a stop gap plug makes sense, IF there is value to that player at the TDL in year 2 of the contract. I don't see how a playoff team in 25/26, is going to be able to afford Stamkos at this rate even at 50% retained and at the age of 36 years old.

Yeah, this all seems feasible. This roster should meet the "being better" goal KD has. Feel like the Hawks are going to give Nazar a shot at being a C. So if they acquire JGP, could definitely see Nazar spending the season in Rockford playing C.

I'd probably lineup the forwards differently, but this is pretty good. Definitely a 30+ win, 70 point team if they avoid the injury bug.

As Tom Petty sang “the waiting is the hardest part”. Ultimately it all depends on how the players we’ve drafted develop. They all play like Vlasic , it will be sooner, they go like Reichel, it may be put off longer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>This guy you are responding too is a prime example of why you can't just look at point totals on elite prospects and call that a scouting report</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanrushton</b></div><div>That's a fair point</div></div>
For sure. You also can't watch or know every player inside and out. I think it is ok to use a quick look at stats, but it should go along side the players history, whether that is controversy or injury, etc., what your own team needs, what the other team needs, what fans think, and what pundits think, in order to make determinations and valuations.
For one example of many, there have been a lot of recent proposals from DET fans on here, we know they need cap space and we know a guy like Fabbri is constantly injured and hasn't been producing. We also know that CHI has no other reason to be interested in taking Fabbri's contract aside from being compensated to do so. I don't have to watch Fabbri on a regular basis to know he is a cap dump. I know I have watched Fabbri through the years and that is not particularly impressive relative to the rest of the league and that he is not someone I would target for any reason. And this goes for a lot of players and teams around the league. I'm not going to watch a players entire career over again every time someone proposes some garbage trade. haha. But yeah, scouting prospects is a whole different beast, and, personally, I find it way more fun and exciting.
As for pending free agents like Necas, I use what I know about CHI and Kyle Davidson's intentions. What I know is, they aren't targeting anyone like him or packaging high value assets to acquire them. They are building from within. Also, I know that Necas is not good defensively. All this would do for CHI is cost them valuable assets and create an unnecessary roadblock. I would rather take the assets that come with a cap dump and bank on them having a resurgence and bringing in even more assets at the trade deadline than go overpay for a young player, at this juncture in the rebuild. Maybe in another couple years, though, we can start talking about that kind of move.
But, if KD went out and did something like this, I can't say I wouldn't understand. I just feel like it runs contrary to the plan he has laid out and stuck to thus far.

Kyle Davidson has showed this far no willingness to switch gears from using picks to build through the draft. He of course will at some point , when he feels confident that he has his nucleus in place. Nothing against Tkachuk, but the Hawks are a lot further away from competing than what he can bring, so the timing is not right to pull the trigger on this type of trade right now.

I'd rather see Laine with 2 years left on the deal, and wouldn't cost as much in trade assets, and gives the Hawks the option of trading him at the deadline in 25/26 or resining him. Laine would light it up with Bedard.

But market value is a different thing, $3M would be 100% underpaid on a bridge and even more underpaid as a factor into a long term deal thus taking the ability away for Vlasic to really cash in at the age of 24 or 25.</div></div>
How about this.
Contract structure:
Year 1: $5M
Year 2: $5M
Year 3: $5M
Year 4: $5.5M
Year 5: $6.5M
Year 6: $7M
Year 7: $8M
Year 8: $8M
This would put him at a $6.25M cap hit/aav for 8 years, more manageable cap hit, paying him fair market, and locks him up long term. Something like this could work.
