Levshunov is also Russian so this trade means nothing re: the draft

Seems like KD should have gotten more than just a 2nd. At least not have to send back a 4th. Don’t understand the strategy that a team with second worst record in league needs to acquire UFA rights. Make your best offer on July 1. KD is looking more like Stan each offseason.

Levshunov is also Russian so this trade means nothing re: the draft If he was playing at Michigan he’s probably pretty comfy in North America already though, no? Is that other d-man in the top 10 Russian too?

Make your best offer on July 1. KD is looking more like Stan each offseason. If you take Laff out or keep him in, it’s basically the same deal. Why not find out what he’s looking for a little ahead of the game? Tell him whatever offers he gets to bring back to them and get a match or go answer. Saves KD the trouble on UFA day which could be important if they are bidding on bigger fish.

I doubt Lafferty was much of anything in the deal other than a throw-in at the end. So agreed, the deal of a 4th for M-Russian and a 2nd for that cap hit wasn't the greatest deal for the Hawks.
And watch them pay Lafferty north of $2.5 million a year to have him not become a free agent. Foligno part 2.

I like the deal. Mihailyev can only get better than he was last year. He has size, speed, and can play the PK. If nothing else, his speed will create room for everyone else.
He's not worth his contract, but will be if just 5-10% more of his shots reach the net next year.
I have no thoughts on Lafferty until they sign him except that he's better than 90% of the players they ran out last year.
Adding second round picks is vital to extending any window. Hopefully KD keeps thinking this way for the next few years so we can create a pipeline to sustain a run after Bedard and (HOPEFULLY) Korchinski get paid.

Van used the cap space they gained to sign Dakota Joshua to a contract. Too bad, if the hawks were gonna overpay for someone I was hoping it would be him if he it free agency. I like his game.

Buffalo now has 14 after trading back with San Jose. Might be a good place to trade up. Think Sabres are looking for extra picks to maybe go after established player like Necas.

Entwistle, Raddysh, the two Johnsons, Blackwell and Joey Anderson must not be thrilled with the Lafferty trade, knowing their contracts are up.

They do all need to be replaced but I figure at least a couple of them stick around.
Blackwell can stay. The rest can GFY

I'm good with KD so far. He's just stowing away some future assets. Don't share any enthusiasm on Mikheyev. I think Lafferty is more useful. Please prove me wrong.

Capt Jonny bought a $3.5 millonz penthouse a few years back. Selling it now. Asking $4.7 millonz.

Should KD kick tires on Ryan Suter? Need a vet on the back end.
