Any ideas who this year's brunette will be?
y'know, the guy that will "help this team moving forward" and do next to nothing.

If it's a D man, I say Mike Commodore
if it's a F, I say Marco Sturm

i think the market is already super heated up with all these crazy cool rumors and whatnot! pretty neat year

You're right furso27...He's a troll.

Kane, Hjalmarsson and Crawford for Miller and Hodgson?
- EKolb13

im not ready to give up on Hodgson, not untill his daddy asks the Sabres to trade him.

What, no Lalonde?

- EKolb13

Need Hjalmarsson's $ to leave if Stastny's coming in

Sure, I get that. You throw Laonde in on every deal otherwise. Why not now?

Might need him to get Fistric

250 assists in 400 games and hes "the best passer in the league?"

Im sorry but that is hysterical
- TendyLyfe02

I'm sure one of my knowledgable friends here already destroyed you on your homerism thinking Krecji is a better passer and has better vision than Kane, but if wanna quote stats/assists, you should at least get your facts straight.

According to Wikipedia
Krecji - 436 games played (playoffs included) - 222 assists
Kane - 449 games played (playoffs included) - 275 assists

Seems like Kane, in only 13 more games played, has 53 more assists! Strange!!! But yeah, Krecji has "better vision and is a better passer" genius! Wow!!!

That makes sense.

Can Subban really be signed for this little???
- CHI-HAWKS7

no

I have to admit, you win the trophy for consistancy.

I don't hate Semin as a player actually, but with Hossa and Sharp how much room do you have for another scoring winger, when you have a gaping hole at 2C. Dunno, I just don't see a need for him on this team. Plus the dressing room stuff, which I hear is an issue, albeit maybe not as bad as some would like to believe.
- John Jaeckel

Semin has a more pure talent than 98% of the players in the NHL but desire...??

If he had it he would probably be a 90 pt+ player.

The Hawks could use a scorer on the left side but they have been snake bit with Russian players...

John Jaeckel: Rumor And Non-Rumor
- John Jaeckel

let's just assume that if this "deal" is being rumoured here, it is very unlikely to happen because a so-called "source" high with the canadiens is more likely a peanut vendor in the 400 section than someone inside the canadiens organization.

The Hawks have, I understand that. The question I have is what has been Daddy Bowman's experience? I would think that would be more relavent to the current regime. They did take a change on Makarov (sp?).

Pulled these from Twitter from HockeyInsiderr (know he is a fake but he has been right about some things). Hope this is something he is wrong about:

Hearing among names discussed going to #BlackHawks Bourque/Weber/Kristo. Also picks being discussed. Nothing imminent as of right now. #Habs

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr
Instead Bergevin looking HARD at acquiring 3 #BlackHawks players Hjalmarsson / Frolik / Stalberg. #Habs very serious about them. #Canadiens

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr
I can confirm that Kane's name has been mentioned several times in these discussions. But #BlackHawks price way 2high for #Habs right now.

Hockeyy Insiderr ‏@HockeyyInsiderr
Bergevin feels he would be most comfortable getting his feet wet by trading within familiar territory. #Habs talking2 #BlackHawks over 1 wk.

The things I would do to have the likes of Versteeg and Buff back in a Hawks sweater


Oh Nostalgia...

- rob121

With a new management team, anything can happen. What if Bergy wants Kane to play Center? Maybe he was in the camp here in Chicago that thought Kane should be playing centre (for my Canadian fans).
Just another way of looking at things.

We will all be here in mid August saying, "as soon as Colaiacovo signs, things will really get moving.'
- NewToHockey

As soon as Dwight Howard gets traded.

BTW, Bulls' Nation - the committed ones - are as upset with GarPax and the lack of Bulls action, and the signing of Heinrich, as we are with SB and Company.

Must be a Chicago thing....

I appreciate your defending my honor and all...but FFS don't go quoting Wikipedia and then go calling it "fact"... Jeeeesh.

What's up southernHawk? I've heard of Dog days of summer, but it seems to be a Coyote holding up the next delay in contract signings
