So its Boeddker, Huberdeau and Skinner.

I say you make the deal with whatever team takes Bickell, season be damned.

Hold off for another loss or 2 and Habs fans will be anxious to dump Max Paccioretty.

There are a number of GMs Al that believe Dano can contribute at a top 6 level right away and develop into a very good 200' forward.
- MexicoHawk

Great insight in your previous comments today Mex. I would think that Dano's 35 game stint with the flashes he showed makes him a safer "prospect" because he has already proved himself in a top 6 role.

Could be correct but I think Tallon's someday is now.
- Al

I agree and I don't think that the Panthers would trade away ANY major contributor on their team unless they absolutely collapse (which I don't see happening at all)...however, they like Dano and have enquired about HIS availability. The Panthers are looking to add, not dump.

I've spent all season watching Dent play Morin in every situation. Nothing gets worse than watching Morin on the ice.

Any D out of Morin?Left winger if memory serves.

For Kane or Toews? Your pick.

Do the Hawks have a $100m payroll?

You could have Michael Grabner for a 1st round pick though
- Garnie

Leafs retain $2 mil on Phaneuf and it would work out with Bickell and another NHL salary going back to Toronto. It's highly unlikely but not impossible for the Hawks to acquire one or the other (both coming to Chicago would only happen in NHL16 )

Bickell + Rundblad

Boedker would be HUGE. He is the exact kind of player Toews needs on his wing. It'll certainly come at a cost but i'll take it.

Unless Morin is on a break-a-way, he's standing around with his hand down his shorts.

Really, it doesn't matter what position Morin were to line-up at. He doesn't do much of anything.

The cost already came - losing to them in the 1st round when they were for sale. Now Bettman has to pay Rocky back.

Beginning to look like we'll be in a holding pattern until close to the trade deadline.

Bickell + Rundblad
- EnzoD

We'll just wait for you to buy Bickell out.....he's from just for down the road.

TORONTO with no T's

LMAO dude 3 cups in 6 seasons...how can you possibly think the NHL has a "fix" in against the Hawks??

What is your trade proposal to Bowman around JVR to Chicago and Bickell to Toronto....what's it going to cost??

The series where Mike Smith flopped around like a fish out of water to draw phantom penalties.

Did he burn bridges back in the day?I just remember reading here about him and his click of Jimmy H an B Pirri is all?

Bingo!

- Panarin27

Yep. JJ spelled it out perfectly early in the blog:

The Hawks love Boedker's speed and skill and see him as a "lethal" addition on Marian Hossa and Jonathan Toews' left flank.

Gett'er done StanBo!

We trying to improve, IMHO.....he's not available right now.

Matthias
PAP
Boyes
Grabner
Lupul
Bozak

That's probably your choices at this point.

Hawks made a statement by playing an up tempo skilled game and won many cups,now the league allows more clutching and grabbing which happens to go against a Hawk strength.

All under the guise of parity.......call a spade a spade.

Mexico, how could Chicago take on Skinners cap hit next year, and give raises to Shaw n Krueger. Yes if they can get Carolina to take Bickell that would help but Skinner I think makes over a 1.2 m more then Bickell. Also Seabrook n Anismov new contracts kick in. I don't believe the Cap will go up much next year. Is Skinner worth it if it means we lose Shaw n Krueger next year?
