Description

Let's assume Hawks don't win the lottery and pick Levshunov.

Priorities for this offseason:
- sign Vlasic long-term
- sign RHD to play with Korchinski
- sign linemate for Bedard
- sign another top 9 forward

I think Hawks can contend for a playoff spot with this roster. They can overpay FAs for short term contracts to get them to help us to make the next step.

In for season 2025-2026:
- Oliver Moore
- Gavin Hayes
- Ryan Greene
- Artyom Levshunov
- Sam Rinzel (maybe AHL for one year)

Well done! Solid lineup. Like the UFA group. Reichel probably gets more. Don't see DeBrusk getting a 5 year deal. Still don't think this team sniffs the playoffs but they are better for sure.

I agree this lineup would make definite positive strides next season.

I agree with everyone else on here. Pretty dang good team. I'm curious if Tanev will sign that knowing we're probably not going to the playoffs...might need to be a bit more, but we got the cap space to do it.

I'd try to work a deal for Ander Lee if Debrusk/Chandler don't work out. Seems to be a strong NYI contingent looking to gain that cap space specifically. Maybe something there.
