  1. and they'll be bad, real bad
  2. campbell's not just dead weight like huet, he's a very good blue-liner. someone trying to make the floor should have taken him by now.
  3. he would have been on the top pairing for the sharks.
  4. i'm just putting all of the extra money into a goalie, pretty much, i figure it will take all that we've got left over. i hope niemi gets around 2 mil but i'm not holding my breath.
  5. Jonathan Toews — $6,300,000 Patrick Kane — $6,300,000 Marian Hossa — $5,275,000 Patrick Sharp — $3,900,000 Dave Bolland — $3,375,000 Tomas Kopecky — $1,200,000 Kyle Beach ($325,000) $1,170,833 Troy Brouwer — $1,025,000 Viktor Stalberg ($65,000) $850,000 Marcus Kruger — $735,000 Mathis Olimb — $600,000 Jake Dowell — $525,000 DEFENSEMEN Brian Campbell — $7,142,875 Duncan Keith — $5,538,462 * Niklas Hjalmarsson — $3,500,000 Brent Seabrook — $3,500,000 Ivan Vishnevskiy — $821,667 John Scott — $512,500 Jassen Cullimore — $500,000 GOALTENDERS * Marty Turco — $2,300,000 Hannu Toivonen — $550,000 BUYOUTS NONE LOST VIA REENTRY WAIVERS NONE CARRY-OVER BONUS PENALTY $4,157,753 CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS ROSTER SIZE 21 SALARY CAP $59,400,000 PAYROLL $59,779,090 BONUSES $390,000 CAP SPACE $10,910 this is my latest one. we have to trade reasoner for a pick or something, and allows us to bring up kyle beach to play the buff role. but this roster operates on the theory that scott can be both the 7th defenseman and 13th forward. kane/toews/brouwer hossa/sharp/kopecky stalberg/bolland/beach dowell/olimb/kruger scott we don't lose much off our top 3 lines, and i like the idea of hossa and kopecky getting more ice time together.
  6. yeah bowman has said this type of thing doesn't happen, i don't see him letting it happen, either. there is more than enough room to sign hammer at this point.
  7. i saw this article on second city hockey that said we should let toftbo walk because we have a lot of projected upper-pairing defensemen in the system and bowman needs to send a message to agents like zito that we aren't going to let them hold us hostage. but here's what i don't get, our system produced hjalmarsson, he is 23 years old. is the author insinuating that we should bring up our defensemen for a couple of seasons and then let them walk when they're rfa every single time? we can't do that. when you get one like him, you sign him. you let the other, more replaceable players walk or you send them away for draft picks, but you don't let a guy like that go to a conference rival. if bowman lets him go to the sharks it would be a terrible move that weakens us considerably and strengthens the sharks considerably. if it were an eastern conference team, i could see letting him go, but not like this and not to a team we just played in the wcf. although i am hopeful that bowman is just [expletive] with wilson right now.
  8. Every time Jesse Jackson opens his mouth, he sets back racial equality. African Americans deserve a much better pubic representative. yes, like someone who tells them to be quiet and not get all uppity
  9. i seem to remember hearing a story about someone claiming to be someone else's brother while using his user name over at the cubs.com board. i'm from the espn board, btw, so i never got to see the carnage.
  10. seriously, how many times can two teams choke right in front of the other team's goal? more goals please.
  11. maybe he'll have kids someday and he can teach them to pretend they're not him.
  12. it's amazing how these world class players have their sphincters close right up when they get a shot on an open goal.
  13. i had a soccer coach in high school that was dutch and looked exactly like ruud gullit and had an equally silly name. i can't remember it though, it's tearing me up inside.
  14. pretty obvious he touched it there, should have been a corner.
  15. Trust me I'm not RedFlash. I'm not as defensive about my shortcomings. I know I am a bad speller and very bad about being grammatically weak. If you want to nitpick about my shortcomings, be my guess cause I know I am very bad at it. Have at it. Let me put it out there, I do have agrammatism. i hope you're using a proxy, otherwise they're just going to check the IPs and know it's you Nope. Not a proxy. Same IP. bye-bye redflash
  16. nothing is going to happen about this it's not impossible, contracts have been nullified before and teams punished. if it's believed that player collusion happened, they can penalize miami and force the players to go elsewhere. which would be awesome.
  17. no, i don't like bobby cox because he's old and smells like an old person probably
  18. Yeah, I'd still like to see him, or Bobby Valentine, though Bobby V. does run contrary with the general sentiment I've come to have towards "established managers." Maybe it's Lou and Dusty running things back to back, but someone like Gonzalez appeals to me because I think there's less of an egotistical, "don't you know who I am?," dig-in-your-heels-regardless-of-how-stupid-a-decision-is-type manager there. That's why I really would not want to see guys like Sandberg or Brenly handed the reigns any time soon. fredi gonzalez went after his superstar in the dugout. he should have known who hanley ramirez was. i don't want a guy who feels compelled to make examples out of people who are far more important and talented than him.
  19. Because if you watch Sulley's posts, you'd know....Sulley is never, ever negative about the hometown teams... way different
  20. morin's pretty good, eh? anybody know anything about him? he can score the puck, from what i've read and seen.
  21. Jonathan Toews — $6,300,000 Patrick Kane — $6,300,000 Marian Hossa — $5,275,000 Patrick Sharp — $3,900,000 Dave Bolland — $3,375,000 Tomas Kopecky — $1,200,000 Kyle Beach ($325,000) $1,170,833 Troy Brouwer — $1,025,000 Jeremy Morin ($212,500) $977,500 Viktor Stalberg ($65,000) $850,000 Marcus Kruger — $735,000 Mathis Olimb — $600,000 DEFENSEMEN Brian Campbell — $7,142,875 Duncan Keith — $5,538,462 * Niklas Hjalmarsson — $3,500,000 Brent Seabrook — $3,500,000 * Jordan Hendry — $625,000 John Scott — $512,500 Jassen Cullimore — $500,000 GOALTENDERS * Antti Niemi — $2,200,000 Hannu Toivonen — $550,000 BUYOUTS NONE LOST VIA REENTRY WAIVERS NONE CARRY-OVER BONUS PENALTY $4,157,753 CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS ROSTER SIZE 21 SALARY CAP $59,400,000 PAYROLL $59,934,923 BONUSES $602,500 CAP SPACE $67,577 kane/toews/brouwer hossa/sharp/beach kopecky/bolland/stalberg kruger/olimb/morin keith/seabrook campbell/hammer scott/hendry cullimore niemi toivonen and there it is.
  22. they canot lose toftbo. he and campbell give the hawks maybe the best second pairing in the nhl, it would deplete a major strength that carried them to a stanley cup.
  23. every post you make in this thread is a negative one, at least from the perspective of the blackhawks. you should be more like drew.
  24. if a hawks fan continued with the same level of skepticism regarding hawks success or future hawks success as you, i would pretty much do the same thing to them. maybe you feel the strange need to balance out this already fairly balanced thread, i don't know. but there are plenty of hawks fans who are cautious about the future and aren't willing to declare this team a dynasty, you don't need to fight the non-existent, crazily optimistic fans here.
