Sharpientrade probably won't go down until tomorrow or Wednesday IMO

I'll wait until the dust settles to form an opinion.

True. Just getting anxious for a damn trade to happen already.

Well, then:

The Hawks had the rights to Nilsson, but never had him under contract.

What's left:

NHL - Crawford, Darling
Minors - Leighton, Sheet of plywood
Rights - Nalimov, Tompkins
- MartiniMan

And they are on the lookout at Johnny's for anyone who shows up with red/white pads.

Lets put it off a few more days. Im sure JO will stick around.

That sheet of plywood was far more effective than Hannu Toivinen ever was. Just sayin'.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Hawks take a flyer on Ken Appleby for depth. Did well at the prospect camp last year

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Someone from the camp this year could be signed if another goalie isn't coming via trade.

Viktor Fasth is probably friends with one of the Swedes on the Hawks. He's take a 2 way deal at his age.

He is attending St Louis' and New Jersey's prospect camps.

Oil going into the season thought they had 2 #1 goalies...that was a cluster as well and they gave away the wrong one it looks like.

If there ever was an adage that holds true it is...
One mistake leads to another.

Hawks trade goalie Anders Nilssen from the Nick Leddy deal to Oilers for a forward-Liam Coughlin.
- Al

So Leddy netted Pokka and a 2014 5th round pick. Pokka needs to pan out or this trade will look like 2010.

Sell high on Nilsson after his outstanding KHL season/playoffs? This is a strange move given Leighton or Mac Carrith are now next on the depth chart after Darling

Nillsen probably still demanding NHL time. Better chance of that in Edmonton.

More than a little difficult now it seems. Unless by chance he bombs, at least one of those two will likely make an offer

He would not play in the AHL. That's why he went to the K to begin with

Could be. Then again, that sheet of plywood mentioned by MartiniMan might have a shot at making that team too.

Don't really think Nilsson had any relevance to the Leddy trade bc it seemed like a G swap of Simpson & Nilsson. Pokka is the prize of that trade, throw-ins & swaps don't count.....

Are we there yet....

Patience. I think he's still a year away. Maybe gets a shot this year but think it'll be 2016-2017 season.
