This is a pretty direct answer to Toews.

They are really in a great position. Kane and Toews have 3 years left each, if they retain they can probably get a big return, imagine what teams will pay for 3 years of either player at 6-7M. Keith could probably be moved without retention. They are going to have to ride Seabrook out but that's really the only boat anchor they have.

2-3 years from now they could be a force again, that's a pretty short rebuild.

Toews would be a mega grab. I'd move the 2021 1st for him if they retained 4m or 3.5m on top of Ryan and a couple.of prospects. Monny, Toews and Backlund would be epic. Absolutely epic.

Give up all of draft picks for the next three years, Zary, Pelletier and whatever needs to be done for salary dump for Kane and Toews retained at 50%

I dunno, their last rebuild (well, second rebuild after the Daze years I guess) did net them 3 Stanley Cups. Hard to really feel sorry for their fans.

I kind of like the Hawks being honest about it. The whole point is to win the Cup. If you're not competitive enough you have to do something about it, it's better than being mediocre and hoping for the best and not getting anywhere. Good for them.

I feel like they improved their team in the off-season? Other than in net. Saad for Zadorov was a great trade IMO.


Team as it is composed is not gonna tank.

With Covid, I feel that it would be the best possible time for a rebuild. It just really surprises me they waited until after the draft to announce this.

edit - Ooof Kane and Toews both carry a 10.5 for the next 3 years.

oh, I absolutely don't feel sorry for them, on the contrary ... boo-friggin-hoo as far as I'm concerned.

Kane is worth his salary. He's still a 100 point player.


I think they could get a great return on a retained Toews as well.
