southsider2k5 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Hawks don't get out of the first round without Darling. He was magnificent against Nashville. Hawks need to do everything in their power to get rid of Bickell. And I'd rather see Versteeg dealt next over Sharp. Versteeg doesn't have nearly the cap hit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 08:52 AM) Sharp will be traded. You get rid of his salary and he will probably bring you back one of the draft picks they lost this year. Bickell might not bring back as much, but teams are going to always get excited about his size, so he shouldn't be that hard to move. You can only hold back $900K of the salary. The rest is still with the big club. Bickell won't get as much as we think. MAYBE a 3rd rounder. Sharp is gone. Hopefully to Washington or Montreal, for his sake. He's been a trooper and deserves to go somewhere he can win. Crawford will only go if StanBo is blown away by an offer. Saad, Kruger, Desjardins, Richards...all back. Oduya, unless he decides to be a nice guy, is gone. Roszival, Vermette, Cumiskey...gone. Rundblad, traded. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Not sure about Richards. I bet he wants to come back and will probably come back cheap. They do have some better depth at center in the organization, so they might not need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If I'm honest with myself, and I'm Richards, and I'm facing 2-3 more years of being paid as a millionaire before likely not getting more income again, I may go for a final big check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rundblad, traded. IMHO. interesting and i will post why later in this post. 4.0 mil - Bickell 2.2 mil - versteeg 2.0 mil - richard, do you think he will give up a bigger contract to resign with the hawks for 2 mil? 900 K - Vermette 100 K - Desjardins 600 K - Rundblad 600 K - Carcillo 600 K - Cumiskey 1.3 mil - Timonen 2.2 mil - Rozsival 3.4 mil - Oduya re bolded - needs to be traded. so that is what is needed in player to fill the team next yr and let alone if any are resigned, that is what will bother me, the cost. http://www.generalfanager.com/teams/chicago-blackhawks now comes the spicy things, Saad and his new contract. i hope, and i am not a fan of Bowman, that will not overpay for him like Bickell, but his contract needs to be #1 to take care off. next thing i would do is reach out to a rfa and offer a huge contract for the right one, and / or make a trade with the team. i would offer the contract. so what is the penalty of signing a rfa that is not yours. this player |s|i looking at will be in the 6.5 mil range. so the hawks will loose 4 - first rounders. before anyone jumps on me..... 4 - 1 rnd in the 28-30 in pick, a pick that will take time to develop and more importantly, the hawks can use this young 23 yr superstar player to help get more stanley cups. it is not like the system doesn't have players to get them over this, but they will continue to draft in round 2 - 7. it is a win - win idea.

You're telling me you want to get rid of a 22 year old, up and coming star in Brandon Saad for unknown 1st round draft picks? How do you not like Bowman? He has recognized the core of this group, build around them, and has brought this city 3 championships in 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
