If they're going to keep any high dollar wingers not named Kane or Hossa, I'd rather they kept Sharp than Bickell.

Ogi, I almost spit up my glass of water that you reversed to this opinion!

If they're going to keep any high dollar wingers not named Kane or Hossa, I'd rather they kept Sharp than Bickell. Probably they will both be gone though, unless Stan shocks everyone and moves C2.

That's talk for anther day though. Three more series to win first.

Exactly. There will be plenty of time for off season moves and female doging and moaning about them.

Not really a reversal, just a prioritization. I still think he's overpaid, and that he's been a tad overrated in his career, but Sharp brings effort every night, Bickell doesn't. If, and that's a huge If...but if one stays and one goes, I'd keep Sharp and move the big fella. Bickell might hit harder, but Sharp hits more often. It's a sad fact, but on many nights Sharp is the most physically engaged winger on the team. He bounces off a lot, but he tries. Sharp makes more than Bicks too, and obviously that's a huge factor as well, but strictly based on what they bring to the team, it's a no brainer IMO that if feasible, you keep Sharp over Bicks.

Not sure if this got posted yet, but Game 3 Tuesday 5/5 at 7.

10 minutes ago I had no idea who this guy was. Three youtube videos later and wow. There's some Pavel Bure in this kid. Does that translate to the NHL? We'll see how he plays D, but that's a big coup if they can grab him.

I wouldn't get too excited. I hope he comes, but the Hawks/Bowman family aren't too huge on Russians.

He's also another little guy. 5'9" 170-ish.

Yeah, what does the Bowman family know about guys like Fedorov and Datsyuk and Kovalev?

And a few more. lol

Give us Panarin

What happened to Kronwall's hearing being Tuesday afternoon? It's evening in the only time zone the NHL really cares about. I realize I'll likely only being wondering how big his fine it but c'mon already.

Scotty probably has sent instructions directly to Vladamir Putin to find him another Slava Fetisov - and fast, he's seen enough of Timonen.

Bettman and the discipline committee are chowing down on the 12 Little Caesar's pizzas that Mike Ilitch had delivered to the meeting free of charge. That should be enough to ensure Kronwall's in the lineup tomorrow night.

And you give us Malkin @ 50% salary the rest of his contract, deal?

I think Slava might still be better. Damn, was he good.
