Zidlicky to the Devils.

 

Good, I did not want Stan to get him. We need a move but a move for this year and the future. No more washed up players.

So apparently the Hawks were bidders on Carter and Quincey, and are "in" on Rick Nash but have shown an unwillingness to move their 1st round pick. In the meantime, NSH, DET and LA have all gotten better, and Hjalmarsson and Leddy continue to cost us points. Oh, and Toews is hurt.

 

Apparently their eyes are on Mikhail Grabovski, Derek Roy and Ljubomir Visnovsky.

 

Nash was never coming to Chicago with his $7.8 million cap hit through 2018. They aren't in salary cap hell anymore, but no way they add a contract like that unless it's Malkin or Stamkos (which obviously won't happen).

TSN reports the Rangers have traded Wojtek Wolski to the Florida Panthers in return for defenceman Michael Vernace and a third-round draft pick in 2013.

 

Vernace, 25, has scored two goals and 14 assists in 44 games with the Norfolk Admirals and San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League this season. He played 22 career NHL games with Tampa Bay and Colorado, registering one assist.

 

 

Making room for Nash?

I was just reading some where they think the Rangers are the leader in the club house to get Nash.

The PP is comically bad right now

Frolik is trash

Rarely has someone skated so much and so quickly to accomplish so little.

I really wish he was skating quickly and pointlessly in Rockford right now.

He is horrid!

Good point - did Skille change his name to Frolik when he went into the Goalless Protection Program?

This team is ridiculously depressing. With how hot some of the lower seeds are, there's a real possibility this team doesn't make the playoffs. 2012 can f*** off.

Well hey, at least Bowman made a deal to get the incredible Brendan Morrison!

But we finally just scored a power play goal!!!!

 

I feel like the blame goes to all 3 levels, Bowman, Q, and the players. Some of Bowman's moves didn't work and Q doesn't seem to have the team on the right page. But when your PP consists of Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, & Keith, and you still can't score, that goes on the players at some point. (It started before Toews got hurt)

 

NHL Trade deadline is the most exciting of the major sports, so we will see what happens Monday. I don't see anything major happening for the Hawks, but it would be nice to see something change.

They just got outhustled and outworked for most of the game. I didn't even watch the end of it.

Wow.

Terry Crisp was told by Preds coach Barry Trotz that Nashville has made a strong offer for Rick Nash. #SNTrade

Pierre LeBrun ‏ @Real_ESPNLeBrun

Blackhawks have interest in Jets pending UFA blue-liner Johnny Oduya among others in their d-man search. Jets almost surely will move Oduya

Islanders making goalie Al Montoya available. Would probably love to come home to Chicago.

Rumors are that the Hawks are about to acquire a Dman. Johnny Oduya is rumored to be the guy, but Dennis Wideman's name is also being thrown out there.

Jay Zawaski ‏ @JayZawaski670

Oduya is NOT a done deal yet. May not even happen. Hawks are in and in strong. That's all we know so far.

Committed Indians

JOHNNY ODUYA TO BLACKHAWKS. DONE

Oduya to the Hawks for a 2nd and 3rd in 2013.

Wow Stan just got raped... he isn't even an upgrade

Oduya to the Hawks for a 2nd and 3rd in 2013.

 

Seems too much to give up for a #5 or #6 dman who is a FA in less than 30 games.

They're next year's picks, so that helps. Plus, the Hawks already have core players locked up and their system is loaded with talent and has depth. You can only play so many players. I don't mind the deal.

 

Oduya can give you 20 minutes of TOI, which means less Leddy, Keith and Hammer. Sounds good to me.

 

So now you're splitting time between Keith, Seabrook, Hjamlarsson, Leddy, Olsen, Oduya, O'Donnell, and Montador when he's healthy.
