Staal brothers together again and Jordan is getting married tonight as the draft is happening Im sure erik and jordan will be celebrating.

LeBrun thinks its a wedding present. I think it's a kick in the nuts. From a cup contender to ... no playoffs.

Gonna be any Dmen left for us to draft when it finally gets to us?

Guess it doesn't matter, they're getting a goalie, right?!

Staal to Carolina for Sutter, doumolin and number 8 pick -- Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie)
- moylander

What was Carolina thinking???? They gave up a ton for 1 year of Jordan Staal. He was going there next year anyways!!!

Sounds like a good deal for Pitt,. after Staal wouldn't sign a 10 yr extension.
- Al

Don't know if there is a deal or two or three out there for the Hawks or not.

Pittsburgh sees an issue - potentially losing Staal next year for nothing - and the act on it almost immediately.

See a problem, take care of it.

Now they're talking Parise to Pittsburgh

Hawks just sit on their problems.

Does Bowman have the ability to create a trade scenario out of thin air and work with another GM to get it done? Or does he only react to the obvious?

Take a damn chance - do something dramatic that shakes up a team that ha been one-and-done twice.

Jesse Rogers ‏@ESPNChiHawks
in fairness had no chance for Staal. Ribeiro is a diff story maybe RT @eentegra: @ESPNChiHawks there goes 2 centers so far. Where is stan?

Jesse must be listening in on JJ's or AlC's conversations....

+1

JJ/Al - awfully quiet. Is it because it's actually quiet or you guys chasing some leads?

Well it looks like same Crap different day. Stanley has no Balls and is sitting on his hands...........

I'm about to become a Penguins fan

Like Pittsburgh, Carolina was active, not sitting back waiting for something that might not happen.

True. Just need some d depth.

Are you kidding Pittsburg gets a really good TRUE number three shutdown centerman and the 8th pick.

Second year in a row for the Pens, A Winterhawk Dman.

Yup yup and more yups.

Could have done that Sharp. Some GM's just get it. Even if you ate trading the better player, you get great piece, future great, and then probably sign a great. All with one trade.

Stan is just waiting to announce his blockbuster deal right before they pick at 18

This ain't good:

Tracey Myers ‏@TramyersCSN
My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but ‪#Blackhawks‬ table looking fairly quiet right now.

Andrew Knoll ‏@AndrewKnollNHL

#Blackhawks Quenneville said he was comfortable with roster and #CHI GM's statement about "tweaks" was OK with him.
- EKolb13

in any language boys!!!!!!!!!!!! JORDAN STAAL !! WHAT THE PHUCK!!!!
STAN BOWMAN , ARE YOU AROUND ANYWHERE????
okay Q, "the company line!!" "comfortable"? are you F'n kidding me!

True. Just need some d depth.
- LuckyStrikeW

Most prospect sights say the Hawks have Pretty good D prospects. Justin Holl, Stephen Jons, Adam Clendening, Dylan Olsen, Lalonde, Dahlbeck, Paliotta.

Id rather a top forward drop to us rather then another so/so project at D thats 3 or 4 years out.

Why would the Hawks trade for Jordan Staal for one year?? He was leaving for Carolina no matter what.
