Actually from what It sounds like is management can't decide on Montreal or Carolina and it's frustrating other teams the problem is what they believe is fair to give up.

If they do trade its gonna be a rental . Id be okay dumping anisomov, Gustafson, forsling we end up gaining more cap dollars free long term .


Who knows maybe they will pursue panarin next summer. But anisomov would have to be traded. Personally patches fills a top 6 then you have your youth come up and see what you truly have .
I can't see wasting money on Rick Nash he is not good for this teams chemistry

Why would Rick Nash be bad for team chemistry?

I find it odd that the Hawks management continually leaks information about their operations, meetings, discussions to acquaintances of posters on this forum.

So much leaking, did Rocky hire Comey and I missed it?
- vabeachbear

Ya man it's a load of crap IMO. Either it's completely fabricated from fans, or it's intentionally fabricated "rumors" put out there by the organization to keep fans interested/talking about a team that appears to be a sinking ship without plugging any of the holes this offseason.....

It seems to be from the former blogger on this site for Chicago, the way some people take his "rumors" as gospel is weird to me. Chances of any bloggers on this site being actual insiders is rare. If they'd just give their opinions on what they think the team should do there would probably be more respect given to them and less fighting amongst the readers that blindly believe this crap.

Because he's thinking about retiring.

He's kinda over the hill don't you think. His best days are behind him.

If you have such little respect for the bloggers on this site, then why are you here???

Is it because you are an internet troll, and have nothing else better to do???

Yeah he’d just be a stop gap without mortgaging the future.

No, my feelings pertaining to you - you are a pathetic troll that has nothing else better to do then to sit behind a keyboard and tear down others that don't share your misguided and erroneous opinions.

You fit the narratives of people like Goalie-33.

If you were to leave this site permanently - you won't be missed.

I'm not sure how I was trolling by giving my opinion of the bloggers, but whatever you say. Now that you seem to have a problem with me I am going to be an bumhole to you and everything you post from now on.

Corey Crawford: "We’ve done a lot to get where I’m at right now and I’m feeling good and hopefully I can get to a point soon where I can jump back on the ice."

Corey Crawford said it's "very possible" that he'll be 100 percent by the start of training camp. He said he has no doubt he can be the player he was before the injury.

"I'll be back," he said.

Crawford said he's feeling good. "Not 100 percent yet."

Q says Corey Crawford (who will speak soon) fully expects to be ready for camp and the start of the season. Q also said he won't carry three goalies, so expect Anton Forsberg to be exposed to waivers.

Regarding Q's quote: I so wish someone followed that statement up by asking "How about 8 D?"

Goalie-33 is a character for sure.

Anybody heard from Fvznie or whatever that posters name was? He was a trip.

Vopatsrash is a solid poop talker too.

Thats like a whole top line of pooptalkers

Yeah, they’ve pretty much said they’re not going to make that mistake again. But this whole Crawford thing is just plain weird!

Hard to understand him with all the noise, but he clearly says "we cannot" disclose what is going on with him and to "please respect that."

I'm not sure anyone's feelings are getting hurt.

They do a lot of work behind the scenes to dig up information for you. If you want to disagree with them, that's OK, but whether you agree or disagree, do not attack them personally.

I will say if your opinion of the bloggers on this site who offer up different views and opinions for conversation are so troubling to you, that maybe you would be better off on another site.

Not encouraging, at least in my opinion

7 months later, not 100%
not only hasn't gotten on ice yet, but he hasn't been deemed ready

Explains the cloak and dagger, BUT, if the team has known this all along (and, by "this," I mean a more than 0% potential he will not be able to return), it's not cool to keep your paying fans in the dark that way.

Maybe Corey is keeping them in the dark, but that's another bag of issues

Not just weird, but downright depressing. Crow's statements and demeanor clearly didn't jive with the happy face optimism coming from SB and Q. His return to the ice is questionable, much less performing again as an elite level goalie. Just three minor holes: a 2 LW, top 4 Dman, and a #1 Goalie. Yikes!

How is saying I don' believe they are insiders attacking them? I never even said it to one of the bloggers, I was commenting on these supposed rumors that gets everyone all riled up that likely aren't true. Jesus christ there are a bunch of whiners on here.
