Interesting. I think Hudler is in the 2-2.5 range...wonder if we can get in on him. Or just no money left?
- kwolf68


Hey kwolf - kind of hoping for Hudler as well but just stupid money being thrown around out there today...yikes.

I wonder if Versteeg will be a Blackhawk once again. This would not surprise me at all. Panarin with Toews and Hossa,
Then reunite Versteeg with Kane

So how many years until the next lock out? All these crazy contracts.... can't help but think that's where we are headed again.

I know it. I think the idea is the Hawks will wait for the smoke to clear and go grab a wing. Hudler, DSP, there are some nice guys. We don't need a PPG guy, but a capable skater who can play a defined role. We are NOT getting a PPG guy to play with Toews, that's just not gonna happen, but I bet Jiri Hudler could score 50 points playing with 19 and 81.

Every single FA LW gone.

Couldn't sign McGinn away from AZ????

SB must have the family size bag of Ruffles out.

Coyotes close to signing Jamie McGinn

- mrpaulish

Expect the cheapshots on Toews and others to continue! Martin and McGinn all but gone! Why the FFFF is Bowman so resistant to signing a player thatcan play , has size and can take care of business when needed , plus we Lost Ladd and Shaw! ItGod dam puzzles me???

So all the stupid money getting shat all over the place really makes the Kooga and AA deals look like shrewd signings.

Because that doesn't win cups. Speed is the new NHL. The list of guys that have size AND great speed is very short.

In the past JJ has mentionned interest in two players that are still FAs after the first 50 min: Boedker and Purcell.

I think stan will deal for a player that can play #1/2 LW or McNeill may get a shot

I know man what the (frank). Plus AZ over a contender? Damn... He would have been great on 1LW.

Well there's always Hudler.

And Weise. I liked him for 1LW although might be in the minority on that but he was fearless, big body, checked well, can keep the dogs away from Tazer. Haven't heard what Philly gave him, perhaps he got paid

Vanke. ... Versteeg, Raymond, Boedker...there are still a few left. Versteeg back? At this point I'd be OK with that.

Like I said - they are all gone

I was thinking about this earlier. He's only 30, has some skill, could slot in well with the bottom six.

LOL....i see what you did there.

Dude, we were NEVER gonna get a guy making 3 or more to play wing. Not unless someone was traded.
