If the Hawks want to rebuild they will trade their big 3 of Toews, Kane and Keith. When it comes to Toews and Kane they will need to retain salary in order to get the value they want and likely 3-4M on Toews and 2-3M on Kane.
I don’t see a fit for the Flames for either player but feel like we would only have a shot at Toews as Kane would not waive for Western Canada.
Maybe the rumored Hall package for Toews?
Hanifin+Bennett for Toews (retained $3M) works out to a complete cap wash but the Flames would be down a player.
It would be a chips in the middle move.
