Campbell to FLO for Rostislav Olesz (3 yr, 3.125 cap hit) and the rights to Steven Reinprecht.

Apparently Hawks are getting Rostislav Olesz and Steven Reinprecht.

 

Rostislav Olesz: $3,125,000 for three more years

 

Steven Reinprecht: $2,050,000 for one more year

 

Campbell: $7,142,875 for five more years

**All from Capgeek.

 

Saved: $1,967,875 at least, could put Reinprecht in the minors as he seems over the hill.

 

Stan Bowman FTW

Phillip Danault, 2nd of Chicago's first round picks tonight, 26th overall.

 

Victoriaville head coach Yanick Jean

"The thing about Danault is he's a tremendous worker. He's dedicated to the game, but now he's taking more and more leadership and it's contagious. He has the admiration of every single one of his teammates just on how hard he works. He'll bring work ethic, dedication and leadership. His passion for the game is unique because he's the most passionate kid I've ever coached. He plays with pride; he's not the type of kid who thinks he's better than the next guy, but he challenges himself to be as good if not better."

Hard part is over. Who knows if Olesz is even someone they want, but a 3.1 million dollar cap hit player shouldn't be hard to move if they want.

 

Hawks just became major players in the FA market. I also expect to see Sharp signed in the next week to ten days.

 

Brad Richards....your table is ready at 1901 W. Madison, sir.

Stan doing a solid job! Never thought we'd get Soupys contract off the books.

Depending on what they do with the guys traded back, we will have at least $12 million cap room. Awesome.

Thank you Tallon.............What a hugh albatross gone from the Hawks salary cap. Great job

Bowman

Dale Tallon, Chicago LOVES you so much right now! Thanks for taking the horrible contract You/McDonough originally signed!

Fixed

My source says it's Olesz for Campbell one for one. We'll see.

This is amazing news. Brouwer for a 1st and Campbell gone too?? Someone pinch me!!

If the deal is one for one, Stan Bowman deserves not only a mini giraffe, but also a mini elephant.

Brad Richards + Tomas Kaberle would be epic.

 

 

Kane - Toews - Smith

Hossa - Richards - Sharp

Frolik - Bolland - Bickell

Pisani - Kruger - Olesz

 

 

Keith - Seabrook

Hjalmarsson - Kaberle

Leddy - Campoli

 

Crawford

Salak

Brad Richards + Tomas Kaberle would be epic. Resign Frolik,

I want Sopel back regardless. He is the ultimate 6th defender. I wouldn't mind Campoli at the right price, but we need a penalty killer big time on the D side. Richards would be great and allow Bolland to center the third line every night.

Cup time of that happens.

I would love Sopel back for the 3rd D pairing

Actually, Sopel instead of Campoli makes perfect sense. Each pairing is balanced. Sopel/Leddy 3rd pairing would be nice.

Also really like Joni Pitkanen as a free agent defender.

Hawks have $14,461,538 in cap space.

That's corrected now with the one-for-one deal, right?

Correct. 15 men currently under contract.

Olesz has a $1mil buyout but it's 6 years.

Today is the day we begin laying the new foundation for our next Stanley Cup.

 

Atta boy Stanely.

Speaking of Cane FAs, I like Chad LaRose too. Good PK guy, plays tough.

Wowee, never thought they'd be able to dump Campbell's contract, but they've been able to do that and not get a bad contract in return for doing so.

 

Seen that Richards, Kaberle, Pitkanen etc. have been mentioned as possible FA targets. Do the Hawks go really hard after a #1 center like Richards, or try to sign a real good defender to replace Campbell as their 1st priority?
