So the real trade is Darling for Jurco?
- DarthKane

Ouch.... Pretty much looking at it big picture wise

If Crawford is staying, who's going???
Let the speculation begin

Panarin to Philly for one of their young stud defensemen

Hjalmarsson

Darling traded...so timing of blog is kind of funny when you think about it. Crawford not going anywhere.
- onehundredlevel

Thought you were BS'ing. Checked Trib. Holy poop! Time to amp-up speculation.

Funny if Scott won't sign with the 'canes and returns here to ChiTown.

Too bad 'Hawks can't trade his bonuses too.

I would hate to see him go

With the darling trade I would not be surprised if they trade Crawford. They may make a hockey trade for another goalie or try to find two cheap vet goalies.

Crawford going nowhere. They obviously believe in chasing another cup. The core probably going to stay in tact, unfortunately. Salary dumps going to have to come from elsewhere. ......I'm thinking Panarin, Kruger, Anisimov are all in play....That's about 17 million there.

And Ryan Pace's lead in the dumbest trade in recent memory race would quickly be lost.

My bet on Cro's list for teams where he would wave a trade
Boston
NYR
MON
COL
PIT
WAS
TPA

I think more like $13MM, if I'm adding correctly - before their roster replacements.

CBJ
LA
FLA

TOR
all possibilities too

He was counting breadman bonuses.

Meant CBJ not COL, but yes all possibilities to block a trade - actually good for him. I'd do the same

Hasn't AA's nmc now kicked in?

Mtl.....to go home. What to do with Price? No! Not here!

So much for trading Crawford.....

Was never in the plan anyway to move CC.

Stanbo and Ron Francis must owe each other a lot of favours.

Coach Bill Peeters probably wanted Francis to dump Eddie Lack on Stanbo.

Darling trade is legit shocking.

Hjalmarrson might be the guy. He can probably bring back a good return. His contract is up in a year or two and the Hawks probably won't be able to pay him what he would want.

Sure......if they add Wayne Simmons too.....otherwise NO FREEKIN WAY.
Panarin is young, fast, and a high scorer, regardless of his lack of production in the series. The whole team didn't produce. I would trade Panarin for somebody like a Viktor Hedman though in a heartbeat !!

They weren't my comments (the ones you posted about originally).... and in my question to you about Russian being a race I pointed out there were exceptions... So I guess I am only a little ethnicistic (according to your moral scorecard).

Also BTW, I'd take the Kuznetsov I saw playing last night over almost any player on the Hawks roster. I also like Kucherov's call out of the Lightning. That said, there is that stigma - IMO a justifiable one - that has been around for decades. Even big names like Ovie and Malkin have received that criticism in past years. Some of their players think the Olympics is the big ring. Panarin, I hope, isn't that player.

Right comments, directed at wrong member, my apologies.

Hasn't AA's nmc now kicked in?
- tredbrta

Per cap friendly, nmc already in place. Goes to modified ntc in 18-19. Ten team list he will accept trade.

Hjalmarrson might be the guy. He can probably bring back a good return. His contract is up in a year or two and the Hawks probably won't be able to pay him what he would want.

Two years left, ten team modified ntc. Wow! I don't want to get yet another sweater.

i think they get rid of Cam Ward and run with a Lack-Darling combo wich could be really good
