Hawks still need to move a player(s) to get under the cap, I would grab Oduya to round out our D IMO.

Not sure I really see the point in trading for an aging defenseman unless it's like a Tallinder trade, where we give them a career minor leaguer.

Slow day...

Mornin Cab.... Seems like its dead on the bored today

O-Do-Ya???

I was kind of hoping it would be Butler coming here honestly.

Chris Butler is pure trash.

Anyone think the Ennis Contact, along w the presence of Moulson Gionta and maybe Reinhart...make Hodgson expendable........

Butler plays his role. A lot of writers in St Louis have said not to sleep on him making the team out of camp.

If he is good enough to makes St. Louis he isn't trash

Anyone? Yes. Me? No

I don't see the need to unload the guy, personally. We don't have the skill right now to replace him, and I'm not so sure GMs are clamoring for him

Yes, I have said it before there is only room for one of them. Murray signed Ennis to his deal and Hodgson's was done under Darcy. IMO that means Murray wants Ennis here so if Reinhart makes the team I would expect Hodgson to be moved.

Getting Oduya achieves nothing.

I don't see the correlation between Reinhart and Hodgson... Hodgson is moving to Wing, so why does Reinhart make him expendable?

Wow no Samson today

I'm not sure anyone is dying to get him...but as a piece of a larger trade I would do it....I'm not sure how I feel about him....so I'm trying to muse as to what the brass thinks.

He may do a lot better on the wing
He can score
He is good on the Pp

He is not a very good skater or fleet of foot
He is not a good center
He is lax in his own end
Makes many poor passes
5 on 5 he was invisible last year....

All and all I just don't know if he factors in their long term plans....but his contract is an issue

Hodgson became expendable a long time ago. He wants to be a 1C and nothing less. Depending on who we draft next year we'll have a group of centers who will be projected higher than him on the depth chart which probably wont make him happy.

I wouldn't take either - neither of them are NHL calibur defensemen.

How is his contract an issue ? Going rate for the production levels he is at.

I don't see Reinhart starting the season at center. I also don't see starting Reinhart on the 3rd line. Reinhart plays second line winger to start.

I don't see him here at all after his 9 games . Needs to get bigger and stronger . That was exposed at prospects game .

Butler > Weber ?

That's why I said in my previous post if Reinhart makes the team and not talking just his 9 game tryout

Reinhart won't be here. He needs to stop being put in lineups.
