Moen is back...playing almost 20min per game his last 2.

Plan the parade route...

Those are 2 guys I figure the 'Hawks could get without too much to mortgage on the future. IMO, Moen would fit in GREAT to flank Bolly as a 3L.

But how hurt is Moen right now?

Moen is back and being showcased. I think both could be had without a giant hit to the Hawks system, especially considering the youth core already in the roster. How attached are you guys to Brandon Saad?

Yonge street?

Yeah, this goalie thing is a little blown out of proportion. Unless they would acquire a stand-on-his-head type of guy, it won't help much with the TEAM defence - or lack thereof - in front of him.

To me the order of importance in acquisitions is:

** 4th D-man (PK guy to team with Hammer, pushes Leddy to 3rd pairing)

** 3rd line LW (Tough & physical guy to play with Bolly and some PK time)

** 6th D-man (Yes this means Montador wears a suit some nights and OD gets put out to pasture, but this would mean SB has to ADMIT he made a BIG mistake in Montador's 4yr / $11M deal this past summer; won't hold out too much hope here)

** 2nd line Centre (As much as guys like Ek like to ramble and mumble about this, it's only a luxury at this time; other holes are MUCH bigger)

That's practically a mail-in order for Gill and Moen.

Some are higher than a kite on him. I've seen only a bit of video on him. He looks solid but gets outmuscled by bigger and a year to 2 year older and more experienced kids. Guess there was a reason why he fell to 43rd overall last June.

It all comes down to who comes back in a deal.

It's my order since it's been rumored (not on here) that the 'Hawks are holding the line on salary after this season.

Here is a freebie, Ek! Nabobov and Eaton to Chicago. Dont know who NYI are getting back but bank on it. Now you can say you got one right.

I was thinking Moen and Gill for Saad and a 2nd... essentially 2 seconds, which is about fair value, but 1 who is closer to game ready... or maybe not.

Good weekend for hockey on TV!!!Today and even tomorrow on NBC and TSN2 Washington at NY early and then Philly at Detroit later.

Done.

who woulda thought

any names going the other way

heres to ek saying bernier, mason, nabakov, nittymaki and roloson
- dmarsden2988

I could actually see the Hawks making a move for Kubina and Rollie, with Crawford going the other way.

Nabokov maybe. Mason no way, a worse version of Crawford.

Neither Hawk goalie has been great, but Emery has actually been OK. But the defense has been dreadful. Adding a goalie would help, and I believe Crawford would go the other way. But the hawks need a defensive forward AND a defenseman as much or more so.

Hawks have scouted both players recently. I could see this.

Is this your version of rumors to come? Here's a tip, don't post one sentence blogs, you hack.

Why give up Kane for a starting goalie? And what starter is even acquirable right now? If you ask me you either go Nabokov for a 2nd and maybe a prospect or you offer a conditional 1st and prospect for Schneider.(the condition being that he re-signs after the season)

I'm pretty sure fixing Chicago's goaltending problem is Gillis' top priority.

Bryz n JVR and a signed Matt Carle for Seabrook and Crawford.
