Oh my god that contract is still a thing? Probably Arizona's most valuable asset.

I would be ok with such things. Which means it will not happen. But like your thinking.

12.2 mil to get to cap floor

olofsson gets 5
6k gets a tad over a mil

that leaves 6 mil for a goalie and a bottom pair rd

or more cap dumps from other teams

Do u want Quinn & Peterka in the AHL??

We’ve known the roster situation for a while now

We’re gonna continue developing the young talent we’ve been drafting- and that’s the SMART move

even if it’s not as fast as we’d all like

This is a terrible game to play with Quinn. First they don't want to burn a year on him, then they prefer him in Roch for their playoff run, now hold that against him?

He earned the opportunity half a season ago.

Well there is the insurance if Quinn and Peterka aren’t ready for the big lights I guess….

Unless they plan on making Vinny the 13th forward but that AAV screams NHL regular to me.

Scotty Bowman no longer working for the Hawks.

How does everyone feel about a package Bowman deal? Stan and President and Scotty as advisor with GMKA still the GM?

Would bring some credibility back for sure or is it too soon for Stan to get in the game?

He got thrown around and knocked of his game at the most important time. He was physically outmatched in the playoffs. If he's not ready, he's not ready. See how Camp and stuff goes.

Well Adams is gonna have a much better read on that at the moment when we are

I’m fairly certain that his offseason plan has in mind if he thinks they’re ready or not

He did as well, but we had to carry 9 D so Fitz could play in the NHL and AHL playoffs.

Even if there are things either of them have to work on, not sure the AHL is the spot for JJ or Quinn to grow their game anymore.

When players are this dominant this quickly, they tend stray away from working on other parts of their game because they know at that level they can get away with it.

i.e, I may be less inclined to work on my play away from the puck if I know that once i get it back im a full step faster than everyone. Tends to lead to players developing bad habits, conditioning them into thinking they can just skate or shoot their way out of trouble.
