I would trade Hossa for Kruger straight up. Kruger is signed through next season at a cap hit of 2.8 million but his salary is only 2 million. The Yotes get Hossa for the next 3 seasons for 3 million in cash but a cap hit of over 16 million. That's a huge win for the Yotes in terms of their motives. The Hawks need to dump Hossa because LTIR is a pain in the ass and basically handicaps you in the summer. They can afford to eat Kruger's 2.8 million cap hit for 1 season. Kruger likely plays better back in Chicago and would be an ideal trade deadline depth acquisition for a playoff team given that he is a UFA at year's end. Hossa + swap of AHL fodder for Kruger + swap of AHL fodder. Maybe one can stroke the Yotes' cock with a swap of late round picks which allows the Yotes to move up a round essentially. Kruger to playoff team for 3rd-5th round pick (think Wingels trade) at deadline. From my anus to God's lips. Even with the swap of late round picks and all the AHL fodder (Hino included). Maybe Stan is a lurker? Jim C is Stan's pen name?

Kruger's AAV IS $3.083 mil. He has a limited NTC this year of 7 teams he can refuse to go to.

I can't believe he got a limited NTC in exchange to that ridiculously large deal. Did Stan also toss Kruger's salad while the contract was being signed?

That contract was a reward for being a good boy and signing for cheap when the Hawks had cap trouble.
Kruger deserved a bigger contract in 2015. But the Hawks couldn't give him that, but I think there was a hand shake agreement that he'll get taken care of.

The other 4th line center the Hawks have is making 10.5 million. Kruger is a steal.
