Joel Quenneville's Mustache 2 mins · Raanta on his extension and pay cut: “Money is not the biggest thing right now. I’m just 25 years old. There’s still hopefully plenty of years left in my career, so I can make some money later on. You can always go to Europe or Russia and they can maybe give you a little more money, but hey, then you don’t get a chance to play on one of the best teams and organizations in the NHL.That’s the big thing. The Blackhawks were No. 1 all the time in my eyes." This is just awesome.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) Who would be available next off season as a FA? There will be no LBJ, possibly no love, I'm curious who the pitch could be made for Is Durant next year, or the year after?

Seth Lakso ‏@SethLakso 12m Marcus Semien makes his first start in CF today

@MarkLazerus With 21 players on roster @capgeek has Blackhawks payroll at $69,479,295. So $69M cap is trouble for Chicago.

Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames 20m NHL & NHLPA announce 2014-15 cap range: $69M maximum, $51M minimum.

Jeff Keppinger ‏@JKeppinger 16m Never pay someone before they do the work! All they do is make excuses on why they can't uphold their end of the deal!!! #lazy #bum

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) When is salary cap official? There has been no clear statement on that.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) Well at least this will be over relatively soon: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/source--carme...-172349955.html I can't wait to see his decision special!

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) No doubt he's confused but the look is more like, constipation. His look is more like "whaddya mean he gets to throw over to first? HOw is that fair?"

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 3m Jeremy Morin deal with Blackhawks: $800,000 AAV per year

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) 5 stars for Feeky 0 stars for DeAza in his trade season 0 stars for confused De Aza.

Jay Zawaski ‏@JayZawaski670 4m LRT : Hawks concern w 2015-16 cap points to Spezza, who will be a UFA. That is if they even can afford to make a deal.

Renaud Lavoie ‏@renlavoietva 2m Concerning Ryan Kesler, Blackhawks were interested but the impact on the cap was a concern, specially for the 15-1f season.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) Now I'm starting to think that Sharp really is as good as gone I'm guessing if they are cap locked at replacing Sharp, they won't trade him. If they could have dealt him and replaced him with a Kessler, they would have done it.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 5m Avisail Garcia taking early fly balls and throwing to 2nd (view from restaurant in Rogers Centre hotel). #WhiteSox

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) That's it? Hawks could have matched that No cap room from the sounds of it.

The Committed Indian ‏@RealFansProgram 10m A $68 million cap would have the Hawks already over it. Think more than Oduya moves tonight.

Jay Zawaski ‏@JayZawaski670 2m If the cap truly is $68 million as reports would indicate, the Hawks will be adding no one, and losing someone.

Sudden Death Hockey ‏@SuddenDeathNHL 1m #Canucks were asking for a lot for Kesler but sounds like they may end up with Bonino, Sbisa and a first. #NHL #Ducks

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1h After exercising his $16.5M player option for 2014-'15, Zach Randolph has agreed to 2-year, $20M extension with Memphis, sources tell Yahoo.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 11:16 AM) That really says it all right there. There are 30 teams in the league now, and even though there used to be less, this game in terms of recorded history is what, 120-130 years old? And to top it off you had the steroid era inflating numbers, where pure hitters like Paulie, who really started to come into his own as that period was ending, would have statistically looked greater. Being #81 in the HISTORY of the game at any position is a f***ing amazing accomplishment. No, he shouldn't be in the Hall, but he's still been an incredible player and a huge piece of the heart of this franchise. And that is the basic point. You can't just throw Konerko out there like he has been garbage. If Abreu has that kind of a peak, or career, this has been one of the best signings in franchise history. Those guys don't come along every day.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) Top 5 hitters in franchise history is unfortunately a very low bar to reach, and I don't think he gets enough HOF votes to say he is "just short". Look, I love Paulie, but for all but 2-3 of his seasons, he was only good enough to be the second best hitter on a contending team. And if Abreu has anywhere near that kind of impact, it will be impressive.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 10:39 AM) Personally I feel that Sox fans have always overrated Konerko. You are talking about one of the top 5 hitters in franchise history, and just short of a Hall of Famer type of career.
