Sure, not sure what to make of this Mellanby thing. We'll see.

What would it cost for Moen?

What would it cost for Plekanec? For the right price he'd be a good addition and the solution to the 2nd line centre dilemma (again, for the right price).

Ren Lavoie from rds (retweeted by Jesse Spector) said the hawks resigned Jamal Mayers, 1 year 600k.

Jamal Mayers just re-upped.

Well, the way you wrote it up, it does sound a bit odd. Hiring a coach who's heart isn't into being coach.

But Kane is our #2 c...

Good move on Jamal 4th C is locked down but bigger problems remain

What's your source?

Yeah, I trust the source. Conversation could be about something other than asst. coach.

I'm neutral on this move. He needs to play fewer games next season.

If anyone else comes back, I'm going on the war path.

a 1st and a decent prospect at least

Agreed car bomb and Jamal were the only skaters who I would have back

or McNeill straight up

I second this. But I'm glad to see at least some moves being made now. Hopefully this is a sign that Stan plans to be busy this summer.


I could see Mayers moving into a front office job with us when he retires.

Kruger and Frolik?

heard anything about the Staal rumor?

He's a UFA, so if he resigns, he's not for sale. If he doesn't just sign him as a UFA.

Pleks will be much more expensive.

Kruger and Frolik?
- DarthKane

Not even close.

With the news that he's going to UFA, anyone else hoping the Hawks go after Justin Schultz? Perfect fit for this system, and legitimate top 4 defenseman.

Not even close.

Ok,ok. We can throw in Olesz.
