Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread

Bowman doesn't say much, but basically confirms he is alive and not sleeping through this whole thing.

[cardslesson101]

Looking at UFA Goaltenders, the only names that I see that are the top of UFA class for Goalies are Turco and Mason. Where do you think they will land?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pierre LeBrun is reporting the Blackhawks want a first-round pick and a prospect for Byfuglien. Either Bowman is a genius or he is ridiculously overvaluing his players. I don't see how anyone will give him that.

I'm guessing he's just smart and setting the price very high.

Adam Jahns (Sun Times reporter -

) says this:

 

#Blackhawks wheel and deal it. Stay tuned.

 

and now he says

 

Working on finalizing the details. But it looks like Dustin Byfuglien has been traded. #Blackhawks

[Butterscup1679666578]

Now I'm reading Buff-Eager-Sopel all to the Thrashers

[Butterscup1679666578]

Unconfirmed, but I'm reading Buff-Eager-Sopel to Atlanta for 24th overall pick, 2nd rd pick & 2 prospects

[UMFan83]

Now I'm reading Buff-Eager-Sopel all to the Thrashers

 

who is going to be in the gay pride parade now?

 

This is sad...we all knew it was happening but I'm sad.

[UMFan83]

P. McGuire said on @team990 that Trashers get Aliu also. Trashers now have Byfuglien, Eager, Kane, Bogosian and maybe Aliu. Tough team!

[UMFan83]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Chicago to send Byfuglien, Sopel, Eager & Akim Aliu to ATL for 24th&54th overall pick, Reasoner & Morin.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I don't think I hate it. Interested in seeing how the cap situation looks now.

[UMFan83]

Morin was the Thrashers 2nd round pick last year, 19 years old and a LW.

 

Reasoner is a 33 year old 4th line center that played in 80 games last year and had 4 goals and 13 assists.

 

Neither are big guys. We just traded 2 bangers and got 2 little dudes in return, we need bruisers.

 

But we got a 1st and basically two 2nds, so I'm not upset.

[Flames24Rulz]

A guy that everyone liked was going to get moved. Sucks that it's Buff, but I can't be opposed to it. We obviously had to do something.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but that should be the only real substantial deal that we have to make with everything now, correct? Or do we still need to trade another piece?

The big guys thing is what concerns me. We're going to get knocked around a little bit this season.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I have to imagine they still have to move a bit more money, right? I feel like one of Huet (no chance someone takes him) or Campbell would do the trick.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm pretty confident Huet is going to the minors

I dont think so....i mean really depends....if someone signs Versteeg and Niemi to huge offer sheets, all bets are off.

 

I still think we will need to get rid of Versteeg before all is said and done.

you can get someone to do what eager does for league minimum. he might not be quite as effective as eager, but if eager was even worth 1 game either way this year i'd be stunned.

 

value wise this seems like a great trade for the hawks.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm pretty confident Huet is going to the minors

 

Good call on that, slipped my mind.

 

It'd be really nice to get out of this with both Sharp and Versteeg still on the team. Don't know how realistic that is though.

[UMFan83]

Reasoner makes 1.15 M next year and then is a UFA

 

Morin I don't think has a cap hit because he's never been called up

[UMFan83]

I don't have any idea if I'm doing this right but...

 

Previously we had 14 players signed for 57.6 M next year

 

Buff cost $3 M, Sopel 2.3M, Eager was an RFA. Reasoner adds 1.15M next year. So we cut 4.2 M from our payroll.

 

Now we have 13 players signed for 53.4 M.

 

I keep forgetting what "our" cap is....was it like $56.X?

 

 

 

OK so now cut 5.6M from the books for ridding outselves of Niemi. That puts us at 12/47.8 M.

 

So you need 10 guys.

These are UFA/RFA that have at least a slight chance of coming back:

 

-Burish (UFA)

-Skille (RFA)

-Niemi (RFA)

-Fraser (RFA)

-Hjalmarsson (RFA)

-Hendry (RFA)

-Bickell (RFA)

 

Is it possible to sign all 7?

[RedFlash]

Good trade, imo. Everybody on HFboards thought the Hawks were crazy to be asking for a 1st rd pick and a prospect for Buff. Guess those folks are crowing now. (Let's face it the deal, IMO, the deal was 1st/2nd for Buff, and then Eager/Sopel for Reasoner/prospect, in terms of value).

 

I have to believe with the additional first and second rd picks that the Hawks will either try and trade up, or use these additional picks to entice anothr to take either Huet or Campbell off their hands.

 

I really like this trade. Getting a 1st and 2nd in any deal for Buff is a surprise me, but talk about selling high.

[Drew Doughty]

according to bob mckenzie the trade isn't official yet for some reason, sounds like there's some hold up.

[UMFan83]

according to bob mckenzie the trade isn't official yet for some reason, sounds like there's some hold up.

 

the espn article said they needed to call it into the league office still. I hope its official. I'm liking it more and more by the second.

 

Now that I think about it, it's gonna be hilarious to see what happens to all the Buff jersey shirts bought in the last 6 weeks.
