Morin getting another shot...
- prd797

Absolutely. I think he'll be with the Hawks full time next season.

It's different. The PTO I'm talking about is an AHL contract, and doesn't count against the NHL 50 contract rule. The ELC that they will sign that starts next season counts against the 50 max rule next season.

Having an open spot on this year's 50 contracts doesn't have anything to do with this.

Ok. Does that still apply if they were your draft choice? Doesn't seem like it would.

Well no more Pirri debates and no more Steve Ott trade scenarios what are we going to argue about now.

That StanBow should be fired for doing nothing at the trade deadline. Come on we know that's coming after the hawks don't acquire four more all stars.

Don't worry, it'll be Kesler 24-7 until the deadline passes.
- MartiniMan

Good thing it'll only be a few more days... its already 3 March here

2 days until people get irrationally upset that Stan didn't make any big moves...

This clears a path for Teuvo Teravainen to be #Blackhawks second line center next season, or even this year late.

If/when Morin comes up....it will be interesting to see if he gets more TOI than Bicks

Bick is on way to Vancouver as part of the Kesler deal.

Can we get Torts as well, to wash the jocks ?

Here's the next thing we are all going to fight about.

I'm thinking they'd be on the same line, with Saad staying at 1RW.

Yes - and perhaps StanBo is accumulating picks for a trade
- KingB

The only trade I want to see now is getting Kessler before Pittsburgh gets him. Kane has already ask for him to be his Center. They should use Bickell, Morin and anyone else in Rockford to get this guy.

Why...we've already got Regin and the key to Copenhagen

I hope they know what they're doing with the kid.

I figured pirri would be a part of that. I'm finally giving up with the Kesler idea. Guess it will be to the Pens afterall

I don't think this really applies to the idea we are discussing.

Even though anyone with half a brain would understand its not the way the Bowmans run the organization. And there is a little hindrance called the salary cap.

Tracy Myers said the same thing. I don't get it - Pirri was going to have zero impact on TT and his development.

Dude were in the salary cap era so not everyone can be kept at high price tags based on roles. You do know that right? So paying Frolik made no sense. Stalberg is garbage. Bolland has been hurt yet again most of this year. Sure Bickell hasn't been good but he's been hurt however his size is a factor especially in the playoffs. Before last year they didn't have someone who knew how to use his size like that since Buff. And what's wrong with Crawford?

Not a bad key to have, to be fair. Copenhagen's a pretty cool city.


And that Regin guy's pretty swell too

Exactly....we're laughin'. Let TT grow some hair between his legs and maybe the brass will have the nutz to bring him over.

Agree, it's not like Pirri was taking a spot away from TT
