He shoulda gotten started early, so he might've gotten a little more back.

The Hawks know they are not making the playoffs. These are deals for the future. That's got to help the morale knowing their GM gave up on them. Good. That's what it means being a seller. I hope you're not implying the Hawks were better off holding on to their expiring contracts. |

No not at all, just thought they should have gotten better returns and sent them to The Eastern Conference.

""“Nobody wants to give up assets for a guy who can’t play defense,” said an NHL source.""
From an Athletic article on deadline deals, about Gus.

Gustafsson (a former 60 point scorer) brought the same return that Brandon Bollig did 6 years ago lol.

barring something internally I'd have kept him vs a b.s. pick.

Flames best Bruins 5-2 last night. Gus with a helper and led Calgary dmen in ice time. Bold strategy there. Maybe Gus can play d and Colliton is an amateur?

The sin was not moving him last Summer when it likely would have been a first, not taking what the market would bare at the trade deadline....a 3rd. I assume (maybe mistakenly) that our front office is not totally (rather just mostly) incompetent and actually had multiple teams interested in Gus and took the best deal. I didn't mind Gus per say, but he is not a guy you are keeping past this season based on what contracts you are already committed to, what kids you have coming, and what contract you are committing to going forward with Gus. Assuming a one dimensional D (PP specialist that has to be sheltered otherwise) sees a little bit of an uptick playing on a significantly better PP then the Hawks (5% better conversion rate), What does Gus cost to sign in the Summer. If his uptick is something sniffing 40 points coming off 60, I would guess 4 years @ 4 will end up on the low side of what he gets this Summer which would be complete insanity for the Hawks to do. You are contractually obligated significant money to Seabs, Murphy, Keith, DeHann, & Maatta until proven otherwise. Boqvist and presumably Ian Mitchell are hopefully both deserving of roster spots (hopefully Mitchell is at worst a guy that doesn't need more then part of next year in the AHL).
