Hawks announce a 6 player deal with the Calgary Flames to add some frontline scoring for our playoff drive.
To CGY
Minor Leaguer C - Tanner Richard (2012: 3/71 - 0 Games) Bluechip prospect
Luke Schenn, $5.8m (2012-2016) 62.85 pts
LW Ryan Jones, $0.2m (2013-2015) 36.95
Minor Leaguer C - Chandler Stephenson (2012: 3/77 - 0 Games) decent prospect filler
Round 3 - 2014 (CHI)
6.0m in salary
To CHI
LW Max Pacioretty, $3.7m (2011-2014) 102.05 pts
D Josh Gorges, $1.3m (2013-2015) 40.05
5.0m in salary
Chicago ships off pieces of its future in Tanner and mid-round pick plus some veteran players to rent Pacioretty for 2months! Gorges helps balance the budget on this deal and the additional MiLR prospect was included because Calgary wants to restock the farm.
Not sure we want to resign Max at the end of the year at 7 million per so for my Hawks this is likely an expensive player rental.
Flames to confirm trade. JD, good working with you man!
