Well since taking off my beer goggles . I am starting to like the 2025 draft a bit more, still disappointed we did not select Martone . After reading very many of the post on here ,feeling somewhat better about the future .Frondell was my 2nd favorite choice ,so am glad he was chosen . Never know Nestrasil may just be the power forward we need he certainly has the size ,and West another huge forward could be a HR . Behm could be ready for a true breakout season .Anyway want to thank the guys and gals on here for great comments ,and getting me off the ledge . Looking foward to seeing plenty young players next year as the Hawks turn the corner to respectability .GO HAWKS !!!!!

Calgary has added Brent Seabrook to their player development staff.

It's going to be hard for our guys to commute from his basement.

There goes Marner!
Off to Vegas!

Like i said Florida is very fortunate the cap went up, Ekblad signed
- BetweenTheDots

Yup
Donno if they can 3peat
But they'll be competitive for a while

Bouchard signs in Edmonton 4 years $10.5 million AAV

They have $500 k in cap space 22 of 23 signed. They want to re-up Perry, going to need to move someone, especially if they also want to try and sign a goalie as well.

Yep, extended at $12M X 8…

@incarceratedbob
Marchand staying in Florida.. tax free

Haven't seen it anywhere else yet

Edit:
Just saw this
@FriedgeHNIC
Hearing Brad Marchand is closing in on a six-year extension in Florida...just under $32M is the total.

The Panthers pulled it off. Verrrrrrrrrrry impressive

They have work left to do. Marchand signing will give them 12F, 6D and 1G while being about $1M over the cap.

Gotta say, as much as everyone likes to poop on the Leafs, that Treliving got anything for Marner who was going to walk free and clear is a really nice piece of work.

Roy is no slouch either.

Would love to grab Lundell. Would even give them back their 1st round pick next year for him.

Heck no! a 4th at most. Remember the summer of 2010 never forget!

They are almost 100% moving Arvidsson and potentially Henrique.

Frondell is a bust.
First!

I thought you were trying to get the jump on Darth.

Ok, HockeyBoyz,

I need help (no wisecracks!)

When the folks at Lines.com managed to f everything up in the 2025 draft, they also lost the first round of 2025 I had up.

So I just went to start recreating it.

I have already voiced my disapproval of this new way, because I cannot put up the mock for 2026 UNLESS a team at the slot is also added.
This new “improved” way, means every time I ADD a prospect, it will not save unless I add the team I think picks first, second, etc. too!

So my brain is already stinging with the debacle 2026 there, I cannot try and guess 32 picks except my wishful thinking of Hawks (McKenna) going one and Florida going 32.

I need ALL your help. I would love if everyone would take the time and make a guess at who is bad picking 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc and whom is good 32, 31, 30, 29, 28 etc.

I just feel iff you help my brain will reconnect to the upcoming season.
You don’t have to feel like you have to accurate to a fault. Just help me with your lists. You can guess here, in PM, or in my email [email][email protected][/email]

I am gonna wait a few days before I start hammering the re-write on the 2026 prospects so if I get any help, I will appreciate it.

Who is on a downward spiral?
Which teams are 17-32 and in the hunt.
This is my payback for my quick posts on the Hawk guys this year (and all others).

Thanks, all

Would love to grab Lundell. Would even give them back their 1st round pick next year for him.

I’d even give them more than that. Lundell is Bolland to me, with the exception of not being as chippy, he brings similar elements. Just another one of those guys that you win with.

I think Rodriguez gers traded before anyone else
One player I would like the Hawks to at least inquire about is William Karlsson from Vegas and see one if he is available and two what it cost to trade for him. He could be that bridge and take pressure off of Bedard. Maybe reichel 2026 2nd lowest of the three and 5th might get it done. Vegas needs to move someone out even with petro going on ltri at some point. And need to resign eichel next year.

It's going to be pretty boring tomorrow. All the big names have been traded or signed.

Could be some more trades than big signings
