southsider2k5 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) He is going to get fairly equal money where ever he lands because it's an ELC. So the sell has to be "Look at what Panarin was able to accomplish in his 1st year here. Lets keep the ROY train going here. Even if you are only here for two years, you're going to be playing with top tier talent along side you, so when you're up for a FA deal, you're value is going to be sky high." Yeah, with equal money, the Hawks have the best case of all to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Hawks now are so much like what the Red Wings were for so many years, right? It always seemed like the Wings used to get richer all the time, year in and year out, just because everybody wanted to play with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a core of a few main guys, and they would just pull the rest of the team out of their ass on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Vesey will be a Blackhawk. Of that there's little question. Thank you, Rocky Wirtz, for reviving this once-s*** franchise. The Hawks are a no-brainer choice for a guy like this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't really understand hockey drafting why is this guy not forced to play for Buffalo? Is he slotted on the first line...quite the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about the kid other than the press clippings, but if you get a solid 2nd liner out of it, that is all you need as the Hawks.

SoxAce Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) https://mobile.twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/stat...147869495992320 Good god.. the Hawks should jump all over this. Even if you don't believe in the offense anymore, he'd probably still be the best 4th line center in the game (though I think he'd still out produce Kruger). His face off numbers are still elite.

LittleHurt05 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Patrick Roy suddenly ups and quits as coach and VP of the Avalanche. No word from the team yet. I'm bummed, he was highly entertaining and it's not like they were getting better under him. Who else will pull a goalie with ten minutes left in the game?!?!?

They cant always get who they want and it just seems like they are due to miss out. Since money isn't a determining factor, the Hawks have probably the best offer that Vesey can get. You can come here and probably play on the top line with Hossa and Toews, in a team that is always in the Stanley Cup hunt. Look at what that line did for guys like Shaw and Saad. That can be Vesey. Can anyone else offer anything like that? Hell no. Come here, put in your time, and hit the free agent market as a really rich man if you don't like it here.
