Rumor: - Elias Pettersson and Nylander to the Hawks (2024)

I'll believe it when I see it.

And I don't figure on seeing it.

Not saying that I'd oppose it, obviously.

You happily take both.

The date is August 1st 2024. Nylander has signed a 7 year 11 million dollar deal with the Blackhawks.

Elias Petterson has signed a 7 year 10.7M offer sheet with the Blackhawks. He has done an interview with Elliotte Friedman and told the world he will refuse to play for the Canucks if he is matched.

Bedard Pettersson Nylander starts game 1.

It is written so let it be so.

how. Yes.

Bedard-Nylander
Petterssson-Kane

Celebrini?

I think nylander will be heavily overpaid and the hawks need to keep some cap flexibility.

I know this is make believe but why would Petterson sign a massive deal (that is still underpaid for him) just to sit out and not get paid?

Because

There is absolutely no chance that the Hawks get Pettersson without giving up significant assets. He's not going to sign an offer sheet that Vancouver won't match.

I love the idea of Pettersson but it's just not going to happen. Even if it does, what are the Hawks looking at for a package? Our 1st this year, plus Nazar/Moore, plus someone like Reichel or Kaiser maybe? I don't think we're in a position yet to deplete the cupboard and take a swing.

Now a UFA signing like Nylander? Sure. I don't see him and Bedard working well together on a line at all but he's certainly be a good player, depending on the price. I certainly wouldn't go over 9.5M for him.

If he comes to the Hawks on an offer sheet, we lose like four 1sts, depending on his salary. He's an RFA.

Pettersson would have to strong arm his way here like no one has done since like… I donno… Lindros?

Under 10.7M is just a couple firsts and we have plenty of extras sitting around. Then EP would have to throw a fit and demand to be let go.

It’s pretty much unprecedented in the NHL I think.

Yes I know, that's why I said offer sheet lol. The compensation is moot though bc Vancouver would match.

You said the bolded. I was correcting that. There is no package. Players don't move in OS signings. You compensate the team that owns his rights with draft picks based upon salary.

After we win the Celebrini lottery, Chicago can't win the lottery again so may as well trade the future four 1sts for EP.
