SoxFan1 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jun 30, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Two guys I'm hoping to see the Hawks sign tomorrow are Cole and Madden. I like our chances of signing Cole. I think the Hawks definitely have interest. Don't see them going for any more d-men unless they can't ink Campoli. Â Names that keep getting thrown around include Max Talbot and Mike Rupp. Here's one I'm throwing out: Simon Gagne. Apparently he's going to come pretty cheap.

Apparently he's going to come pretty cheap.  I actually think Sopel comes back on the cheap. The defense 1-6 is set, but then you have John Scott as your #7 and I would think the Hawks want more stability at the position in case of injury. (not buying the whole "Scott needs more playing time," though I hope I'm right) And I don't know about Gagne. Dude is literally one hit away from a career ender with all his concussion problems/history. Might as well sign a more talented player like Tim Connolly as a #2 center if thats the case.

Controlled Chaos Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Stole from some dudes post on committed indians..  Campbell ($7.1 mil): 5 G, 22 A, + 28, 6 PIM, 84 SOG, 28 Hits, 101 Blocks Montador ($2.75 mil): 5 G, 21 A, +16, 83 PIM, 118 SOG, 86 Hits, 138 Blocks  Almost identical production, still a great +/-, more shots, more hits, more blocks, and for more than $4 million less! Montador did play 8 more games than Campbell this past season, but even still, I'd say this is an absolutely GREAT move by Bowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 CHICAGO SUN-TIMES/CHICAGO DAILY HERALD: reports the Blackhawks, having re-signed defenseman Steve Montador, are now focused on adding role players. They’re also in talks with RFA Michael Frolik and Viktor Stalberg.  As expected. It should be interesting to see whom we covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 As predicted. The free agent class is rather weak and teams need to find that salary floor. I think it's best the Blackhawks avoid going after anyone, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
