QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) Danault is an RFA at seasons end, tough to fit everyone in. Yup, benefits of a deep system as well.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Canadiens acquire Phillip Danault + 2nd round pick in 2018 from the CHI, in return for D.Weise and T.Fleischmann. That might be the move. Two veteran wings. Little upset about giving Danault up, but the organization really loves Kruger. And even though Kruger will be a RFA after this year, after being hurt, I don't think he'll get much of a raise. That said, Hawks are stacked. Ladd/Toews/Hossa Panarin/Anisomov/Kane Weise/Teuvo/Fleischmann Deshardins/Kruger/Shaw Mashinter/Rassumensen Stacked.

As currently constructed, Bears have 60.5 million in cap space right now. Could be close to 70 million with cuts.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip Scouts listed for tonight's game: Blackhawks, Canucks. He is the beat reporter for the Raleigh News. I believe that's 3 games in a row with confirmed scouts at a Canes game. I like it. I've always been a fan of Versteeg and his inconsistent play. Him, Teuvo, and Shaw on the 3rd line would be fantastic.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 5m5 minutes ago Source: The 2016 @NFL salary cap was just set at $155.27M. A lot of people thought the cap was gonna be at 150. Another 5 million won't hurt.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Just get the whole band back together? Haha, I really disliked Versteeg the second time around, but it the cost was minimal this year, I'd roll the dice. The Manshinter/Danault/Sekac role players have left me wanting more. Ladd/Toews/Hossa Panarin/Anisimov/Kane Versteeg/Teuvo/Shaw Danault/Kruger/Deshardins Mashinter Stacked.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) @ChrisKuc 19m19 minutes ago Source: #Blackhawks aren't done. They're looking for a winger to play alongside Teuvo Teravainen. @ChrisKuc 15m15 minutes ago #Blackhawks like Teuvo Teravainen as a center. He's played well there. A gritty winger with a little scoring pop to play next to him wanted. I wouldn't mind Kris Versteeg back lol.

Looks like the Hawks are acquiring D Christian Erhoff from the Kings for Rob Scuderi

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) Bears are placing the Franchise Tag on Jeffery per Adam Schefter. Hopefully they can work something out long term before the deadline.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 5m5 minutes ago CHI's interest in VAN D Dan Hamhuis has cooled considerably. At THIS moment, CHI focusing more on lower-level depth options on blueline. Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 3m3 minutes ago Could that change? Sure. Door not completely shut, but at this moment in time, that's the CHI outlook, FWIW. #tradecentre #TSN

Former 49ers OT Anthony Davis is coming back. Only 26, and would instantly help us on the OL. Put Davis at RT and push Long back to RG.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) Screw it. I've seen enough. Fire everybody. Agreed. Entire staff needs to go.

It's amazing how Illinois goes into these scoring droughts. If there is a stat out there. I wanna know since the Bruce Weber days, how many scoring droughts of 5+ minutes that Illinois has had. i swear they have one every single game.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) I call it like it is. 7 has been bad defensively. Period. You don't like it? Get over it. http://thecommittedindian.com/follow-me-to...idateeven-good/ The fact that you gave a link to the committed indian is laughable. That dude is a joke. Had a total agenda with the Kane case. All about click bait. Seabrook has been great offensively, and average on defense. He's fine.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Since no one has mentioned it yet, this was the most interesting thing said in the chat. Obviously he is coming off of Tommy John and is only close to starting to throw again. But if Hickman really does turn out to be first round pick quality, he would instantly give us another big time prospect for the 2018 to 2019 range. It would be a huge boost to the system for a guy that hasn't generated a lot of conversation as of yet. If he could bounce back, then that's just another plus for the system. That slash line for Anderson has me all sorts of giddy. That's all star caliber numbers from the SS position.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Hawks have two confirmed scouts at the Leafs/Canes game tonight. Leafs, please take Bickell off our hands....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) Yeah, that is pretty steep. The other side of the coin is that Saad turned into Ladd and Anisimov, +. And Panik (traded for Morin). Hawks also get D Jay Harrison and LW Matt Fraser in the deal. Jets also retain 36% of Ladd's deal. General Fanager ‏@generalfanager With Ladd @ $2.816M annual cap hit ($681,290 the rest of the way), #Blackhawks to end season with $341,970 cap space, $1.59M on deadline day Hawks can still get a D man closer to the deadline with 1.59 left in cap.

Ladd to the Hawks is huge. Dano and a 1st

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) gary lawlessVerified account ‏@garylawless hearing some conversations heating up between #nhljets and @NHLBlackhawks on Andrew Ladd Ladd has been scratched tonight, FWIW. Who's that?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 5m5 minutes ago Jim Callis Retweeted Is Baseball Back Yet Realistic slash line for Anderson = .285/.330/.435, ceiling of course is higher than that. @WhiteSox #Top30 If Anderson provides that offensively and average to above average defense, that is a 3-5 WAR player.

What would it take to get Reddick from the A's? Any thoughts?

Adam Jahns ‏@adamjahns 54s54 seconds ago The #Bears have scheduled a formal interview with Arkansas' Hunter Henry, the best tight end in the draft, more: http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-football...combines-top-te …

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 44m44 minutes ago Aaron Leming Retweeted Chris Emma Would not fully rule out a 1st round QB if Carson Wentz drops to 11 (not likely). Been told they love him. #Bears Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 28m28 minutes ago Keep in mind that even if the #Bears drafted high on a QB like Wentz, it doesn't mean they want him starting day 1. Cutler still the guy. Chris Emma ‏@CEmma670 QB Dak Prescott met with the Bears brass at the Senior Bowl. Another talented prospect on Ryan Pace's radar at the Combine.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Add me to the list. I hate the Cubs with a passion. I hate the Cubs with a passion as well, just respect what they have done.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) People saying this is some awful offseason aren't dealing in reality. They made quite a few substantial improvements. That said, what is so frustrating to me is that it WAS a pretty good offseason, and they left themselves just one major hole short that would have made it a really good offseason. That makes no sense. Why go most of the way? When Fowler was obviously so affordable? That does piss me off. Voice of reason. Everything in this post is 100% true. QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Or could it be the fact that they are truly done? I really don't know at this point but what I do know is they have officially pissed me off. Could be, but I doubt that. Everything that Hahn has said is that they are still looking for an upgrade.
