They did a great job with the first pick. The rest don't seem to be near adequate comp for the players they traded.

Wiz, thanks for all the work!

5 draft picks and 5 mil cap savings for two 4th line players isn't enough???LOL

How would you grade the Hawks draft?
- BearsnHawks

Incomplete. Ask again in 5 years.

So you cant think of nothing more annoying than NHL draft grades.

How about spilling a full bowl of cereal (milk already added) first thing in the morning when your are half awake. That happened to me this morning.

That is a close second

Thank you....draft grades the day after mean absolutely nothing....

Get orkin to remove the bug from your ass, weirdo.

The internet bully/tough guy is at it again......

Thank you, Miss Crabtree. Went back and cleaned it up a bit.

Still waiting

No way! Winning the draft is all that matters.

Because, like, I mean, Grant Sonier gave the Hawks an "A" in 2011 and we know they were right.

Can't we all just get along!

Sometimes, yes. It all depends. It's a fluid, every changing situation.

I guess he didn't make it to Walgreens last night.

So how much does Leddy get, or is there still a chance he gets moved if he and Stan can't come to an agreement?

My money is on "don't sign him before 7/5 and he gets an offer sheet that the Hawks don't match".

I'll admit to being very cranky lately. Still bummed about yesterday, even though it had to happen.

There will be no problem getting a deal. He is an RFA. He has no negotiating rights....

You give him a qualifying offer. Make it fair and reasonable and its done. See PK Subban.

You're worried about his ass and he is the weirdo?

Hey, I posted an opinion which was in no way inflammatory and some nut case just attacked me out of nowhere. What dissent? You mean any disagreement here with FO decisions is trouble making??? Wtf, that guy has a screw loose.

And then? Sign a FA to replace him? Promote from RFD? Stanton? Olsen?


Lalonde?

So 2 years at $2.85?

When I have Dave Bolland withdrawals I will just watch the recording of game 6.

And hope another team doesn't give him an offer sheet that is more reasonable.

I think I'm over it now. Bickell got his money. I'll keep my yap shut on that until he starts phoning it in.

Strike out miserably on a FA replacement.

4 years - 12 million

Offer sheets that come will be north of this IMO

Agreed.

Hope to see Bolly in the finals too.
