July 1, 200817 yr Speculation: Hossa to EDM that would suck, him and cole would make quite a winger pair.
July 1, 200817 yr 3:40pm ET - Sorry for the big gap, things are a little hectic around here. Chicago, Ottawa and Atlanta are among the teams pushing hard to get Brian Campbell... Hossa camp being very hush-hush right now. 4:22pm ET - Word is Hawks close to trading Nikolai Khabibulin to Kings, meanwhile Kings already got Denis Gauthier from Philly. I'm thinking its for one of their forwards maybe? Edmonon offered Hossa $9M a season IIRC.

July 1, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) I'd like this deal with the Kings done. Agreed. To have almost $13 million rapped up in goalies would be a bad way to start for the "new look" Hawks.
July 1, 200817 yr Author Atlanta and Chicago offers Campbell 8.5 million. from Andy Strickland, writer on hockeybuzz.com
July 1, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) No Yes I understand that is a boat load of money, but Tallon wants to win. Sure, we could go after Redden but by the rumors, we haven't even talked to him. Plus, Redden is more of a defensive defenseman, while we need more help offensively on the PP. At least now stud FAs are considering us. Now, if ATL kicks it up to 9 per, then I will not want us to match that- that is insane. Edited July 1, 200817 yr by whitesoxbrian
July 1, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) It's eight and a half million dollars, and you are ok with that, but if Tallon adds 500,000 to the deal, he is insane? Interesting...... Because if it gets up to 9, you know ATL would kick it back up to 9.5, and so on. They are desperate. I'd like to think DT has enough sense to end that bidding war and make a push for Redden at 5-5.5 per.
July 1, 200817 yr I don't really want Campbell at 8.5. Obviously Hossa's out if he's getting 12 per (which is f***ing ridiculous). Give me Roszival or someone else, Campbell's not worth that type of money.
July 1, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:14 PM) TSN says the Hawks are pushing more now for Redden then Campbell. Not surprising. They want to make a splash, but they have to stay reasonable. We have extensions for Kane and Toews to worry about down the road.
July 1, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Can you just please put a link or just a source (TSN, sportsnet) so we know where you're getting this from? it was just speculation, and when i said to EDM i just went that we know EDM put up a big offer to him, and him with cole would be a good wing duo. Hockeybuzz is where that came from though
July 1, 200817 yr http://worldsportsnet.blogspot.com/ Hawks close to trading Nikolai Khabibulin to Kings. Edmonton is close to sign Marian Hossa to deal worth up to 7-10 millions per year. STAY TUNED for this one.
July 1, 200817 yr I seen this and laughed but how true is this? If only the other GMs would think this way. A GM said to TSN just mins ago (unamed) this market is just to rich for me. I'm going home. This is insane. The money being thrown around is insane!"
July 1, 200817 yr Author 5:15pm ET - Detroit, Rangers, Oilers, Habs, Bruins, Canucks among teams interested in Hossa. TFP Looks like we're out of that running.
July 1, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) Not surprising. They want to make a splash, but they have to stay reasonable. We have extensions for Kane, Duncs, and Toews to worry about down the road. Fixed.
July 1, 200817 yr TFP 5:30pm ET - Blue Jackets shopping forward Dan Fritsche... Hawks waiting to hear back from Brian Campbell.
July 1, 200817 yr Redden to Dallas? Berger just said on Fan590 again that Dallas is the front runner with a 5 year deal. Redden wants a 6 year deal, but he has already spoken with Turco. If this happens Boucher is all but gone.
July 1, 200817 yr Campbell a Hawk 8 years 56 mill According to Stuy's board This is a lot better than I expected it to be. Edited July 1, 200817 yr by EvilJester99
July 1, 200817 yr Author 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!!
