Poconono Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Black Hawks' Duncan Keith is gonna be out for quite some time due to surgery to repair his meniscus. Who can we unload and what can we get back? I think we already have Chicago's second pick this year. Personally I'd deal any of our defensemen for the right deal. Since they might be running out of draft picks maybe we can hit them up for a forward prospect? How about Ryan Hartman or Garrett Ross for L. Schenn or Schultz? Not the youngest of prospects but these aren't the greatest d-men we're giving up either. We definitely could use some depth on the wings. I guess I'm just looking for an excuse to bring up Ghost or Morin. Even if they aren't quite ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ8812 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 A bag of potatoes for L. Schenn And no. Don't bring up the kids before they're ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earle'sGaffe Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Keith is out for 4-6 weeks. If I'm the Hawks I stick the next man up into the line-up and play with what I've got until Keith returns. No point giving up anything of value in response to a short-term problem. Besides, Keith with a torn meniscus is better than a healthy L. Schenn, so there's no reason for the Hawks to consider a deal. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 And they have no cap Space once Keith comes back. They would have to trade equal salary to remain cap compliant so prospects wouldn't work. Interesting thought just not feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Since they might be running out of draft picks maybe we can hit them up for a forward prospect?I'll take Nick Schmaltz off their hands...for a Dman....or Luke Johnson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleashed Fury Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't think the Blackhawks would even want any of the defense from the Flyers. If they're not going to get much production with whoever takes over for Keith the Blackhawks might as well use who they have in the system then give up someone for the same type of production player like the Defense of the Flyers.

Pretty sure they'd love to have Streit. Not sure they'd like the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Pretty sure they'd love to have Streit. Not sure they'd like the cost. Or the cap hit. Could they even do it without moving salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmatus Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Pretty sure they'd love to have Streit. Not sure they'd like the cost. A lot of teams would love to have Streit. He's a perfect example of a guy who can elevate a contender just enough for a solid playoff run. Of course, that typically means a deadline deal, not so much a deal this early in. Still, he absolutely should be traded at the deadline this year. I expect that's already the plan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleashed Fury Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 @flyercanuck@murraycraven I was trying to get a little jab in on the Flyers fans. I think the Blackhawks are going to use young defensemen in their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poconono Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 They took Kimmo last year and he was a shell of what he was. I agree with you but never say never..That's kind of where I was going with my little daydream there... I heard an interesting stat on NHL Network today: 77% of the teams that are in playoff position at Thanksgiving actually make the playoffs. Last year 15 out of the 16 qualifiers were in that position last year. Only Ottawa sneaked past anyone. Chicago might be a bit worried about falling too far behind this year. Right now they are second last in their division and out of the playoffs if they ended today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I agree with fc, Streit would be the perfect fill in for Kieth while he is recovering....but from a Hawks perspective, the status quo will be how they go....Seabrooke and JVR's little brother will man the points on the 1st and 2nd pp....no sense in giving up assets when the void can be filled from within...not the perfect solution, but I believe it is how Bowman will be approach things.

Streit is not the "perfect fill for Kieth." Chicago has cap problems, and bringing in a 40 year old defenseman with another year on his contract, would hurt them financially.

I can handle a dirty look, but when fans get too much alcohol in them and they start all out fighting that is when it gets scary. I haven't been to many live games in my lifetime and have never seen that happen and I am glad I haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not perfect, but he Streit runs a pp nicely and is a veteran presence, which the Hawks are in need of right now. They already have a few kids back there, Trevor VanRiemsdyke and the kid from the Yotes. If Streit did not have another year left on his contract he would be a nice fit....but yeah, as it stands, they cannot take on any more cap. They had to move Saad because of cap problems, so adding more is not really an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this hambeast of a woman just yelling at a Flyers fan several rows in front of her for an *entire* playoff game because he had a Briere shirt. He never acknowledged her.Yelling doesn't do the situation justice mind you. It was way worse, but I don't feel like typing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're also trading for his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
