I've seen it with Sabres and they might now be a playoff team after 11 years of no playoffs. There are definitely dangers in a scorched earth rebuild. Especially in tanking. Teams like the Sabres and the Oilers have rebuilt and re-rebuilt their teams for more than a decade. Sometimes the pieces you build with just aren't that good and you are fucked. Multiple high 1st first rounders still don't mean much in the big picture. Sometimes just getting rid of contracts is enough to restart and just sign good players in good deals. Vegas didn't need high picks or top prospects. They had cap space and they used it. Not until Pietrangelo did they start giving out massive contracts. Maybe Davidson's strategy is not tanking but signing good players to good contracts, and giving them a chance?

Looking at the players brought in today, and the hawks roster heading into tye season....ya...scorched earth...lol
I dont mind any of Fomi, Athanasiou or Blackwell...all competent NHL vets ..amd all.worth a 2nd or 3rd round pick at the deadline. Hawks jlhave to have some actual NHL players on tje roster...amd all 3 play with an edge as well.
As for 88...not sure WTF he is thinking...after saying yesterday he is requesting a trade, he now says he wants to see how the season goes before deciding on a trade. So dumb...just go already...staying here accomplishes nothing, and the hawks can use the assets he would return Him staying proves and accomplishes nothing.

Kane never requested a trade. Just some clickbait rumor. He’ll still be traded at some point as a rental likely to return to Chicago in the offseason. This will be Toews last season in Chicago and potentially in the NHL.

Wl the statement from his camp was that he would formally request a trade Wednesday ..then he said he changed his mind.
The list with the Rangers at the top is a real thing.
Either way...I am done with all the will he or wont he saga with both 19 and 88.
Just move on...or retire.
NHL radio reported today hawks approached Kane about moving last season amd he said no....trading his buddy and 40 goal running mate may have factored into that scenario.

There is absolutely NO credible source that says Kane ever requested a trade. Stop using unknown Twitter misfits and clowns as your sources.

If you read Jim's post... Flyers have NO business adding a piece like Lane...or Kadri...yet will try to be in the market for both. ...it's actually some dude called Lane who doesn't want to stay in Chicago. No idea who that is (probably one of Jim's boyfriends), or why it's a big deal.

And here we thought the Dylan Sikura era ended but now it’s reborn.

Take it up with Kouleas and Boomer and Hahn and Benrstein on NHL network.

Also...Mark Lazerus and Craig Button both said there is zero percent chance Kane is staying in Chicago.
I dont know why you are so upset by this.
19 and 88 have also already publicly ripped management for dismantling the the team and making it 'no fun ' any more to play in Chicago.
I guess 10.5 mil.per year doesn't buy as many hookers as it used to...

He’ll be traded because the team won’t be in the playoff hunt, but there is no rush to move him now.
