Controlled Chaos Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 This needed to be done. Hawks should be in good shape to keep the other vital pieces now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Stalberg and Paradis look to be the prizes....all three sound decent and a good haul for the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 So much added young talent this offseason with Morin, the Hayes brothers, Stalberg and Paradis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 My roommate is a longtime season ticket holder and diehard hockey fan (annoys the hell out of me, sorry guys) and he seems very excited about Stalberg. Said he put up worse numbers last year because they really didn't have anyone (besides Keisel). Look at the bust Phaneuf was. Â Well done Stan.

SoxAce Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sad to see Versteeg go, but I wasn't as attached to him as Buff. Hopefully he can help Kessel and others from the Leafs and at least he is gonna play in Canada. Good trade for both sides. Â I'm assuming this means the Hawks now are done pending on the RFA guys?

Â Im really hoping now that Buff and Versteeg were traded we can hold on to Ladd unless the trade offer is too good to pass up. It sounds like to me though they should have enough room to keep Ladd and Hjalmarsson and still be able to afford Seabrook and Sharp in the future.

It sounds like to me though they should have enough room to keep Ladd and Hjalmarsson and still be able to afford Seabrook and Sharp in the future. They still have Niemi to take care of, too, unless someone else offers him too much and the Hawks settle for Huet. If they do that, then they have his cap hit on the books and maybe they have to re-do the cap math. Â All in all, a nice job by Bowman & Son to work around the cap problems. Getting good value for guys everyone in the league knew they had to deal away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Man we are gonna be playing some kids next season. Should be exciting! There are reports the Hawks are at or around 55.2 mil. (Bowman is staying quiet about it of course) That Connelly kid looks ready from all reports so... Â Sharp (3.9) - Toews (6.3) - Kane (6.3) Brouwer (1.025) - Bolland (3.375) - Hossa (5.275) Stalberg/Persson (.850) - Reasoner (1.15) - Kopecky (1.2) Bickell (.675) - Dowell (.525) - Burish/Skille (.800-.900) Â Keith (5.538) - Seabrook (3.5) Campbell (7.143) - Hjalmarsson (2.0-3.0*) Connelly (.875) - Hendry/Denis-Pepin/UFA (.800-.850*) Â Niemi (2.0-3.0*) Crawford (.800) Â ?

Controlled Chaos Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Thank you Stan for getting rid of the exact 2 big pieces you should have. How often does that happen? So far great job by Stan. I think the only way Ladd doesn't sign is if we're receiving max value in return. In other words, I don't think Ladd will just be a salary dump if he isn't here...it will actually be a move to improve. Â Removing Huet from the equation...Hawks look to be $9,718,663 under. Need to sign Hammer, Antti, Ladd and some fillers. Edited July 1, 2010 by Controlled Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Flyers re-signed Leighton, two years, $3.1 million. I thought they'd sign or trade for a big name to finally shore up that spot but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Man, I love Steeger. He has great hands and a nose for the net. Gonna be hard watching him in another uni. With that said, he had to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yep, so far so good. Versteeg is a very talented guy, but he's about as dumb as any hockey player I've ever seen, and Buff simply didn't try enough. They were contributors on a champion and have talent so we'll miss them, but to save as much money as they did and get some young talent back for those two guys is a great start to an offseason where people had to be moved. And everybody else we've got rid of so far is replaceable. Now is where I get concerned though, I really don't want to see somebody like Ladd or Niemi leave, but I'm worried we might anyways.

Hence why he had to go, but the guy could still score. I fully expect him to continue his development throughout his career. He was a clear rapeage of the Bruins when he was acquired.
