Agreed

Thanks for the quick move. I get fleeced here but was in a dire situation needing to cut nearly 10mil this close to the start of season.

Cap space is holding a premium price right now

Without looking at your sheets, curious what the cap savings is?

Interesting trade, great offseasons to have cap space

With the Hank and Ryan buyouts, I have been able to weaponize my cap space pretty effectively this off-season.

Chicago sits pretty well this year, with additional assets to trade and with an eye to next season looking to weaponize that cap space even further.

Future looks great!

Yowza…I'm sure that'll help both teams.

Overall, it's a pretty good swap. Mark definitely benefited from Ryan being bought out and signing a very cheap deal to make him a better trade piece.

Rebuilding teams need to take note to not shy away from adding any NHLer and salary right now if you can snag some future assets. This is a rare opportunity for teams to give up decent players on a reasonable discount. Cap room is very valuable no matter what your goals are as a team.

Props to you for sticking with this team. There's an ADHL team that has probably been better than yours but has seem like 10 GMs in 4 years all of which get discouraged with the team being bad and leave.

It's not fun being bad, but rewarding when you make that climb.

I don't like taking over elite teams unless there is money on the line. When it's just for fun, I find it more enjoyable taking a beaten down team and bringing it back to life with a little patience.

Damn my planned starting offer was way better than this lmao

Good job hawkes. Way to capitalize on the cap.
