February 18, 200422 yr Author I agree ONLY in this sense: Sully is a very good complementary player on a good team. He is NOT a superstar, and he is NOT a front-liner. Yet he was leading the team in scoring, was he not? What does that say about the team? The SlackHawks will NOT be a good team for the foreseeable future. Their "cash-over-titles" philosophy will never allow it. A championship team needs players like Sully to provide an offensive threat on the 2nd or maybe even 3rd line. You have to KEEP players like Sully and ADD top-line players if you want to be taken seriously. The SlackHawks do NOT want to be taken seriously. They want to put as cheap a team as possible on the ice and hope lightning strikes. Not the most ambitious plan ever devised. Draft picks are great to supplement existing players - the Slacks have NO existing players. They have about 72 dollars in salary designated for next season, because their owner is going to make sure there IS no next season.
