I heard from my best source on all things Blackhawks last night. (My editorial comments in parentheses)


HAWKS OUT ON DUCHENE:

"(Colorado GM Joe) Sakic insisted on Hartman-plus in any deal, which is a no go for Chicago. Sakic told Stan (Bowman) he has potential better deals/offers, and Stan said we are not moving Hartman, so the talks were shelved earlier this week."

"However, this is a deal that could be resurrected before the deadline if Hartman is included."

"For all of those who think the Hawks couldn't make it work money wise, they easily could this year with Kruger plus being moved. Next year is a different story."

SUMMER

"There are going to be some BIG changes next summer. Starting at the goalie position."

DALLAS

"As of today (now yesterday), there has been no contact with Dallas, but that could soon change regarding (yes, regular message board posters)) Oduya and potentially Eaves... " (Hoping to have more on any potential Dallas moves in the next couple of days)

"Hawks still in on Tatar and Palat, but not close. For now."

Discuss.
