Mark Stone says on TSN he's agreed to terms on an extension with Vegas. As per @TSNBobMcKenzie, will be 8 years and AAV around $9 million plus

If that is what power forwards are going to get in this market it becomes even clearer that the Hawks are YEARS away from adding anyone of that caliber via free agency.

Stone’s AAV on an eight-year deal with VGK is $9.5M.


Glad we didn't trade for him at that price.

As long as they subtract Anisimov without taking any salary back this offseason, they absolutely can fit one large free agent contract into the salary structure, about $9.5 million per year. Are things tight all over again after next season then? You bet. But they could do it if they want to.

They will have Joki and Baudin or Boquist manning a defense slot at $925k for the next 2 years. With Hossa going on LTIR each season, it's doable. Key is what you spend to resign Caguilla, Strome, Dcat, and Kahun. Get them all done for $17 million, do Dcat and Strome this summer for cost certainty, and they could absolutely move forward.

Will they? For a lot of reasons, it's doubtful. Mainly because they need to get better at D and most impact guys seem to be forwards. Unless they just want to be content making Kane happy and bringing Panarin back.

No matter how you slice it , this teams needs are monumental and the salary cap and aging core along with NMC is killing them.

Just woke up from my nap, time to make some trades!

Wtf. Dayyyuuummmm

CC is back only because it is McD's last card he can play to try and will the team to the playoffs this year.

The Western conference just beefed up.

The Eastern conference throwing in the white towel to Tampa it seems. (Except for Columbus)

Which is fine. My only hope for the TDL was Bowman to do no harm.
- Elbows15

THIS!!! 👍👍👍

Why would they do that? If they are going to sing with their current teams they still can on or after 7/1. Doesnt make sense not to test the market at this point

Toronto just said oh poop, how much is Marner going to want?

Blackhawks didn't make any last-minute trades, source says. So, nothing today for the Hawks.

Actually Stan dropped the ball. Stone IMO was the best young 2 way forward to hit free agency , we all knew he was going to get around 9 to 10 million.

That's a trade Stan shouldnhave pursued IMO .

Stan is wasting toews and Kanes best years remaining with this half in half out tinkering.

Yep, it is pricey. Wonder what that deal will look like in four years.....

I'm guessing CC is back because he's a competitive guy, cleared concussion protocol and wants to help his team win, but that's me.

Stone would look good on any roster, but that’s not really what they need most anyway. For the same or similar money, I’d rather have another top 4 defender and a solid 3C.

Fiala is a good player man! I like his skill set but couldnt seem to stick with alot of Top6 talent there.
- nickmo2699

He isn't that good. Granlund is much better

Maybe I'm overvaluing Simmonds, but what is everyone's fascination with Hartman? He gets a fist and a prospect last year, and Simmonds this year (albeit, NSH added a 4th)...

I am fine with Stan not making any trades today. Things will happen in the summer and I am sure they already have a plan.

I think you see AA and one of Seabrook or Keith get traded.

We could have Bobby Hull, Maurice Richard, and Gordie Howe in their primes and the Hawks still would not win with this defense and goaltending.
