I`d go after Reeves, he`d be a crowd pleaser.

Tanev reeves would and speed and toughness plus players think twice about running toews and kane etc.. Plus hawks would a little bigger .

They would move other pieces before McAvoy and Carlo. 6'5 defensive studs are hard to find. They have enough space to sign them.

10 million according to cap friendly assume the cap goes up 3 million. That give them 13 million. It be tight. Just putting idea out there for discussion sake.

Like Matt Cooke thought twice about the hit that ended Marc Savard's career with Loooch on the ice and Chara, Boychuck and McQuaid on the team?

[quote=mohel]You brought it up,
I know here is a question? Since Boston in the offseason has to sign Carlo and mcavoy and debrusk in a year or two would trade saad + krys or another one of hawks young d prospect for carlo would boston do that trade?

- Scott1977


Boston had managed their cap very well. They have Pasternak, Marchand, Bergeron, Krejci signed for several years af a total of 27M.
I don't think they have to revamp their roster. They can extend Carlo and McAvoy up to 4 or 5M each per year and still be under next year's cap. They'll find a way to fit in DeBrusk the next yesr.

yeah, I know. Like I said, they will move other pieces to get them signed. Carlo isn't going to be terribly expensive. Doesn't put up enough points. McAvoy has had some injury issues which may lower his price. They would move Millar and Moore long before those two.

Figure Chara is done after next year ( he just signed for one year).

They are going to need to unload 5 players at least The vultures should be circling.

Also, as pointed out about other RFA's, they don't have much leverage.

They don’t need a third round pick they already have three of them.

No, the Hawks get the 3rd. Hell try for a 2nd.

To my point, face punchers dont prevent opponents from taking runs at your team.

I guess.

Have to see that again. Was that a hand pass? Or played with a high stick?

Nope. Off Polak.

Veagas isn’t trading Theodore. He is their best defenseman and they have locked him up long term.

After London went up 3 games to none, Guelph has charged back with 3 in a row so now the series will be decided by Game-7 in London. Boqvist with another goal (10th in the playoffs) and Entwistle with 2 assists.
