Gotta catch up with the modern lingo Ogie. Its 2015! Gotta say Pang has become one of my least favorite people to listen to when its comes to game coverage. He is f'n rediculous.

Well the Nashville Smoke and Mirrors smoked the sharks tonight 5-1 and 15-3-3 since Jan 1. And have won 6 in a row only giving up 9 goals.

These guys are the real deal...minimal playoff experience? Yep! No real studs on the forward line? Yep! But all they do is win!

The Canucks used to tear up the regular season too with their great special teams and goaltending .

The Preds do not have enough up front .

Where is LBR ? How many goals are they getting from their D men ? A lot right ?

Q's presser today when asked about where the Hawks are at:

1. We like our team

2. All areas we have depth

3. Balance and scoring on all our lines.

4. Deeper goaltending.

But we need to better.....

The list above is why given the chance almost every GM in the NHL would sacrifice a prospect or two to win a Cup.

The question isn't if to make the sacrifice but when.

I dont like either one....lol but funny thing....I was pulling fot Rousell....I cant cheer for anything in a blues jersey....except maybe a suicide bomber....in a blues jersey...thats a win win...

Eh, the timing of a Sharp trade either now or in the off-season will have no impact on signing Seabrook.

It's really simple imo. Moving Sharp in-season is not going to return his value/what CHI needs now. The teams that need Sharp now also need what CHI needs (a defenseman, maybe a center). The bottom-feeder teams that have the assets CHI needs do not need Sharp right now. And please do not counter with Eller-Emelin; one is bigger but less physical than our current 3C and the other is physical but slow and just really not good.

Most people look for equal value in a trade with their favorite team....That's not the case here.

If Sharp is dealt it won't be for 1 or 2 or 3 players equally his value. It will be for hopes and dreams as in picks/prospects otherwise the math doesn't work. This will be a salary dump trade and when your looking at return see the package that was sent here in the Campbell and Leddy trades.

Didn't Pang call Seabs a "cheap shot" artist a couple years ago?

Roussel chased jackass 130ft before jackass would dropem

Remember that day?

that would be unrealistic to say the least.

Campbell was a pure salary dump. As far as Leddy goes, I am not sure what people expected for a 6th D who didn't progress far enough to not be benched in the playoffs. People can point to his age all they want but the fact remains he had almost 300 games of NHL experience and should have progressed far enough to be able to play minimal minutes in big games. Well, we saw what happened when he had to play. It wasn't pretty.

For all the praise he gets his pace has fallen since the middle of December and he is on the 1st pair for the worse defensiive team in the league.

Leddy was a salary dump no matter what you think of him and the same with Campbell.
My point remains the same...Sharp isn't going to be traded for a roster player near his value.

Which is why it makes no sense to trade him until the summer, if at all.
