We're under way.

Let's beat these a**holes!!

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) We have no need for Perrault at all. It would be a waste of money. Solid center, the best face-off man ever arguably, and would come cheap. BTW, Campbell was just on Chicago Tribune Live Recap: -Says he loves sports and this is a sports city. -Hull/Mikita Night was amazing. -Looks forward to playing with the young guys. -Talked about his hometown of 11K people. -Was impressed by the crowd on Hull/Mikita Night as well.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) ^ That. Also, Memphis is the other tea with cap room. Oh, and Duhon agreed with the Knicks. 2 years, 11.5 mil. He'll get to party all he wants in NY. For that money? Adios.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 10:28 AM) Its a moot point anyway, Brand is gonna be on the Clippers who assuming everyone is healthy will be a pretty damn fun team to watch. The sad part is- with how good the West is, they probably won't even make the playoffs.

QUOTE (Gage Loves Me @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 11:27 AM) Well at least we'll suck so bad it'll be worth it to tank the season and land Tavares. You guys will be fine. Dubinsky, Lundqvist, Redden, and Roszival will not land you guys the #1, not even a top 8 pick. BTW- Detroit has to be the favorites to win the Cup, again. Same team as last year and then you add Hossa. It was smart signing him this year because it shows they're going for it all right now, and now with Franzen and Zetterberg coming off the books next year, Hossa will walk and they'll give Franzen 6-7 per and Zetterberg 8-9 per. One good thing- the Hawks could have about 18 coming off the shelves next year which gives them plenty of room for Hossa.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) Wedge is a terrible manager. Hawk told me otherwise.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 10:57 PM) The Sox have actually won 6 in a row and 7 of 8. That. And, the Cubs have gone 2-5 in the past week.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) http://proxy.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story...&id=3470156 FA Day 1 Break down I didn't think I'd live to see the day the Hawks were graded A+ and A- in 2 FA signings.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 10:47 PM) Lexi's dinger was so dramatic. So was the whole sequence after that. Damn...2 hours later and I'm still pumped up!!!! I was just thinking about the lone Sox run earlier...Lexi was just a hair from clearing the bases with his sac fly....he friggin' scorched that ball. If Sizemore was a foot over the other way...that's 3 runs. What a week- Sox have won 6 of 7, Hawks get Huet and Campbell, Bears give Harrison and Bennett contracts, and the Bulls have a franchise player in Rose.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) Once again, I know Tallon can't come out and say "Now with Huet in the fold, we are looking to ship Nik out of town and soon as possible", but he also has seemed to go out of his way to talk about this duo in net. If I had to bet, I would say Nik won't be around with the Hawks on opening night, but I'm starting to buy what Tallon is selling. Lang could be the odd man out here. I hope when I wake up Bulin is on a flight to Atlanta or LA. TFP says while DT seems situated with Huet and Bulin, a trade is still likely for Khabby.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Gammons saying Cubs may not have enough to get Sabathia. He said the Brewers AA team is stacked with prospects, some scouts were telling him it might have the best prospects on one team they've ever seen. Flipped on the Cubs game and Len and Bob said the Cards might be interested in Holiday. If the Brewers get Sabathia and the Cardinals get Holiday, that will be one hell of a race between those three teams You mean "one hell of a race between the Brewers and the Cards"?

That was 2005-esque out there tonight. OC CREDE WISE ALEXEI DANKS

from TFP If we can move Khabby, I'd love to see us snag Laraque for 1.5 per for 2-3 years.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) hmm interesting hopefully he goes to Montreal, just so hes not in the West Agreed. Right now, we look like a 6 or 7 with Campbell and Huet. But, if EDM gets Hossa, they'll probably be a 6 or 7.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) If the Hawks keep Khaby, that is a collosal mistake. You can't have 12 mill competed to goaltending. I'm assuming he'll use Khaby to get a top 6 forward (or is that too high of an expectation). Afterall, until Khaby is gone they really don't have any other options do they (since they are over the cap)? A top 6 forward for Khabby is way too much. We'll be lucky to get a player- a reasonable guess would be 2 picks, or just 1 2nd rounder. If we do get rid of Khabby, I'd like to see us try to sign Laraque at 1.5 per.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:11 PM) Nice to see that Atlanta with their Plan B and we walked away with the Gold Atlanta is now pursuing Redden and Roszival Pagnotta also said that Hossa will be signed in a couple hours -- I am just guessing that its either Boston or Edmonton Rolston to NJ Devils and Dman Commodore to CBJ for 5 years and a little over 18 mil if i read right earlier. -All that is from TFP and just some of the signing trackers Pagnotta says it's going to be the Habs or Oilers. Also says NYR and ATL are going hard after Redden.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) The only good thing is IIRC there aren't any other goalies on the market left... so if someone needs one Habby will be available. That's true. But there are only 2 teams in desperate need of a goalie- ATL and LA.

Can we please make this one the official gamethread- LittleHurt is bringing us luck!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) Yes, they stand at about 62 million right now. The only thing I'm hoping is DT just didn't want to come out and throw Bulin under the bus before he was actually traded, but who knows. That's what I'm thinkin'. Maybe he's trying to get other GMs to think Khabby still has skill left and that "if nobody else wants him, we'll keep him because he is still good". If that isn't the case and he honestly is trying to keep him, I'm POed.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) If I am right aren't the Hawks now over the cap? Once they trade Khabby, they'll actually gain another $1 million- in essence, that signing of Huet will be a wash.

TSN says he's keeping Khabby and Huet.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) Campbell a Hawk 8 years 56 mill According to Stuy's board RDS.ca is reporting it as well. Not bad for what I thought was going to be 8+ million a year. Way to go, DT!!
