Well, if Bouwmeester were to happen, Stahlberg, Frolik, Hammer and or Monty would need to go, salary wise.

Do you think CC will be better or does the need an improvement in net as well?

Team needs help on D and in goal. Period, end of story. CC is not the answer as a stand alone #1.

The talk is Parise's deal will be worth $25 million in the first two years. #Sens #NHL



Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper

Those asking SB do count against cap. His cap hit will be far less over entire contract. Yr 1 of 12M/2M salary guarantee's Parise lockout $

2 hours to go...

Boumeester could happen just by trading Hjalmarsson.

You are adding an additional 3.1 million cap hit, straight

Much better? Don't know about that. I'd take either, but Doan's got more nasty in his game and only costs you $, not players/prospects.
- Ogilthorpe2

Doan wants to stay in Phoenix and ride horses around the desert. His head isn't into moving north. Nice player, too old to give a big contract to.

One of Chicago, Philly or NYR is going to get Nash. If Bowman has to move Kane + to do it, so be it.

I'd rather have BOTH Ott and Doan.

Throw in Z.Smith in a Hammer trade, Add Allen & Carkner as UFA and I'll be happier than a pig in $hit...!

'mornin everybody .... it's hot & steamy down here in Branson !!

Doan may want to stay. But all things considered..
Doan + Kane > Nash. By a wide margin.

I'm with ya.

$12M signing bonus for Parise? Bye bye NJ Devils - they haven't got $12 bucks to their name.

Nash, Bouwmeester and a goalie are all the Hawks need. Won't happen.
- RickJ

Funny, as Nick Kypreos tweets about the heavy signing bonuses reportedly expected by Parise, Ek writes about how Parise's leaving NJ WON'T be about money...

Well, are you expecting to acquire him without losing some sort of cap flexibility?

I think everyone on this board should pick out a young unknown player and make sure that they mention them in every trade rumor for a Hawks player. Ogi's pic is Fristic. It will be fun to see some of the other selections mentioned....

Rather have Doan than Nash.
- Ogilthorpe2

Same here

According to agent Carlos Sosa, all signs point to Bryce Salvador becoming unrestricted at noon. "At this point he is still a Devil."

So we traded off Brian Campbell because our team salary structure was way too top heavy. So how is THIS free agent signing any different? And you know the price will be obscene or the years will be.

Again...this signing would show a team without a clear direction.

Afternoon Ogi!! How are ya?! I'm going nuts waiting for some news Who do you think the Hawks land today?

That I won't argue with. But I think people will be surprised at how much Doan costs and for how long.

Bryce would look good in the Indian Head. Him and Mayer's former Blue's brothers

I think hawks will land one of Ryan Smyth,Shane Doan or Tomas Holmstrom..Also I expect Adam Burish to sign with the Hawks

What's up Captain?

I think I'm more excited than anything.

I'm not really scared. If Bowman (frank)s it all up, my excitement will just turn to anger.
