Plus Brookbank could probably get a good return for holding the number 17 hostage.

The Hawks said bye-bye to Kostka. Losing more d-man depth doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

haven't you been reading? I want MacKinnon. In all seriousness. That kid is going to be a pain in the ass for a long time.

No matter what rumors are flying around Phil. Hawks MO isn't to make big moves during the season. So to me. Its much ado about nothing. Would he make the Hawks better? maybe. Is anyone down on the farm ready for the 3rd pairing? That is the question. I have no doubt Morin could fill Bickell's spot. But one of Leddy or Brookbank would have to go.

Or is that more than you were looking for?javascript:emoticon('')

It's all good 'Bows....bargain tweak is Stan's m/o and he's had decent success so i'm not expecting much....but...if $$$$ was no object...Fisher would be my #1 target

You consider giving up TT for Kesler if you haven't won anything yet and this is going to be your run.

Not if you've won 2 out of 4, with enough of a young core to have hopes of keeping it going for a while.

Agreed.

True.




I might become one of them

Why are these guys here?

They're not even playing the Canucks tonite.

JJ laid out a trail of crumbs for them.

You forget that a good chunk of hawks fans just jumped on the bandwagon when they became good.....all you need to know.....

*yawn* By this logic it would mean most of the Canuck fans were out rioting in 2011.

Time for the piggies to fly Eli. They lose one of the top 4 it isn't going to make much difference anyway.

The dumb -as-dirt ones generally are ...
- Q...argh

Not really.

No. There are a LOT of Hawks fans who would feel dirty having to cheer for Kesler - they'd get over it if he played well, as they did with Rodman, but there would be some moaning and groaning (and not just from Elbows shifting in his chair ).

The moaning and groaning would be me. I hate Ryan Kesler, as a hockey player, so much.

Perhaps Lafontaine realized he was in way over his head?

In the middle of the playoffs, I'd prefer to have a vet or two to try to fill those spots rather than kids...

Just read in the Leaf thread a repost of a tweet from Kypreos. Some rift between Murray and LaFontaine regarding keeping Nolan as a coach.

Sounds like he didn't want to trade Miller as well.

My point Eli, is if one of the top 4 go down, whatever vet is around isn't going to make a difference anyway. And supposedly these kids are the future. Let them get experience IF that is the case.

That I believe. The rest? Who knows.

I can see your point. However, if it's just one guy, you want that a vet can step in and help carry some of the load. Not a kid who's trying to figure it out.

Do you like any player that isn't a Hawk? and if so, who are you a fan of?

Bowman says they're done trading. Guess everyone can just delete their comments

per tim sassone and Jesse Rogers, stan says no major move expected to be done between now and Wednesday, major moves "already made"

some can take that as code talk that he is waiting for another GM to wow him, but as we know Jr., he really is done

he also says bringing over Teravainen is an option still, depends on if he plays worlds

there you have it, as many speculated, bowman plans to bring TT over this year to center big club this season if and when available

You adjust. We got Probert, FFS.

Shocking.

If true, I guess you can scratch Boyes off the Hawks wish list...

Not shocking. They have no cap room for any major move anyway.

If that is the case, why let him play in the Worlds?
