Tomorrow's deal should be Olli Maata, Nic Beaudin and a 2021 2nd round pick to Jersey for Subban at 33% retained.
This will finally give the Hawks a D man to run the first P.P. unit that can actually get hard shots through to the net. He would be a good place holder until some of the young guys are ready.
Preemptive explanation for the Nay Sayers: This is a comparable package to what Jersey gave up to get him with a roster player with term left, a top prospect, and a 2nd round pick. I believe they would be happy to get that after the season he has had,
For the Hawks this works because he still has some good hockey left in him and in a better situation he will bounce back. They get a top level power play QB and swap out a third pairing D man for a first pairing D man at a net 2 mil in cap hit.
