Quotes not working for me.

SnapIt, I am glad you mentioned "picks". I have been frustrated since the day the great Scotty has been a part of this organ-I-zation. He created the Wings dynasty based on a Pick-offense. Why has he not had any influence (along with Barry Smith) to teach that part of the game. Teams kill the Blackhawks with picks and interference, yet this Blackhawks team fails to set picks on a consistant basis.

Seems like Runblad will end up in Rockford along with Bickell and Scuderi-- opening more cap space and roster room for a significant addition
- jb3333

I wonder whose definition of significant this will be.

What are the odds someone picks Rundblad off the waiver wire?

Most of us here know Shaw's value, and very few of us would be very happy if Shaw were to leave.

It would be a bad day (week, month, year, decade) for Stan if Shaw were to be gone.

(Unless of course the got Stamkos or Tom Wilson for him)

Agree with the above and will add he is still improving his play and it puts TT on the right side where he belongs

Close out and come back in the website. I find that if I go from one blog to another, quotes doesn't work.

Goodnight, sweet prince...

Shaw - Danault - TT

Much better 3rd line

>Q is a HOF coach -- but just getting better players won't be a total fix
>Q needs to add some new wrinkles to the Hawks team approach
>With all the sagging, clutching, grabbing -- many of the goals I've seen around the league off the rush seem to happen with the puck-carrier dropping the puck to a trailer and then picking the defender for the trailer
>Or players getting wide open from picks below the goal line in the OZ
>in his Wing days, Babcock dared the refs to call his team on picks -- the refs seldom did

Seems to be some urgency in the Hawks front office.
- Al

been helluva alot urgency in the buzz gallery....some really poor play over the last 5-6 games and most of the season will do that..

now if he can get rid 29....he is houdini

Yes but what is he looking for in a new contract? To me that's huge and Stan better ask.
- z1990z

i'm guessing $4-4.5 for boedker. I think he's been a little more consistent than belesky at $3.8; and should get paid for that.

maybe dano + some conditional picks (based on re-signing) would work for both sides.

Thanks for the tip, beachbear.

get away with what ever you can...actually the hawks are pretty good at that ruboff/pick play...

Actually he hasn't been as bad as all of you Pens fans were making him out to be.

Dano seems like too high a prospect to go for a rental

Rarely do that high of a prospect go at the TDL

i dont see stanbow blowing picks and prospects for another UFA rental....rfa like boedker makes alot of sense

When StanBo trades Bickell and his $4mil then I will really start celebrating

- bogiedoc

boedker will be an ufa. the info from the cap section on this site is incorrect.

Shaw - Danault - TT

- vabeachbear

That is the 3rd line I would like to see. , Still don'tknow how the Hawks can take on the salery Bodekar will get next year. Not saying they wwon't get him but may only be for this year.

Was at the game last night. Have never seen a team so disinterested in playing, not willing to work and just going through the motions. There wasn't a single guy in red last night that looked like he wanted to be there. Maybe 24 and that's about it.

6 years has officially caught up to the group. Tired, tired team.

I would be really surprised if he isn't picked up.
- vabeachbear

With a year left on his deal I would say 50/50 at best.

If AZ isn't able to resign him the Hawks don't really have to worry about next year right now.

i could see the yotes being open to carrying some salary for a year.

will probably drive the price up a little.
