I've been alive for 3 cup runs. Watched two of them (and remember both vividly). You shouldn't pity me, I've seen some great hockey over the years.

Per @ByScottPowers and @CraigCustance, CHI signing Czech D Michal Kempny

I had heard the Canucks, and a few other teams, were trying to sign this guy.

Offer sheet Shaw and see how rich they are.

They need entry level deals like they just got. Can't blame the guy for wanting to play there.

Their bubble will burst soon

BTW I would love Shaw here

I wanted to say he`d get a better chance to play more minutes on the Canucks. But have no idea if that is really true.

Signing with a team like the Hawks, he has a better chance to win the cup and maybe make more money in a few years.

Either one is still better than what we have

yes.

They have a total of three legit d men maybe a fourth IF TVR develops into one... Hossa is getting older and if he retires early, they'll face cap penalties.

They depend on cheap complementary players to the six big contracts they've got...

They'll trade Shaw at the draft and not give anyone the chance to offer sheet him.

They got Anisimov++ for Saad

I think so

(frank) me....SJ better get their heads outta their ass's or this is going seven.

What exactly do you love about Shaw?
He will probably get $5m a year. He's not worth that and I don't think he'd be a good fit here at all.

Wish i could but too busy atm.
Getting stuff done around the house for a few days.
- Nighthawk

OK....might wander down there later myself. If you find yourself free later come down

I don't think there will be a choice.
One will get taken at 4th (i think Tkatchuk)
and one will be available at 5th.

edit:
I think Edmonton will package their 4th pick with a player to get some help on D.
- dbot

no I dont think there will be a choice either unless edmonton takes joulevi

hmmmmmm left over pizza

I like his work ethic, his fight, his. Clutch scoring, his back check , his forechecking, leadership. He doesn't mail in shifts.

Almost like winning the biggest Asian d1ck contest or a participation ribbon for best float at a pride parade.

LOL that's awesome

Sounds a lot like Dale Weise. Actually, they look a lot alike too.

In some strange way this is very funny to me.

- hillbillydeluxe

What he has is a good opportunity to play, while being somewhat sheltered by 3 very good Dmen ahead of him.

If he's decent he should be able to parlay that experience into some nice coin in a couple of years.

I'm glad Van didn't get him. Once rushed on the smaller ice, he will give up the puck a bunch. IMO.

The same they did with everyone else they can't sign haha. Trade them away for players and picks. Develop those players and win the cup again. Not anymore. Rein is over.
