Doug Mac Lean stating the pros and cons of trading Hammer as opposed to keeping and resigning

Hamhuis is on the ice for warmup, and talking to Murph, but he didn't give anything away.

My first reaction, just based on his vibe - I wonder if he's no longer as willing to waive now that Chicago might be off the table?
- Carol Schram

Wouldn't surprise me. It's disappointing that they grabbed Ladd instead. Oh well, hopefully a team will come out of nowhere and make a pitch. What about the Rangers or Pitts? Rangers have injury issues and coach V would want him. It's likely Pittsburghs last shot at a cup before a rebuild.

Why wouldn't he go to kings or ducks? Both contenders. Both not far from family

Add Dallas too. All 3 have some assets or picks i like to have.

Dallas is a legit contender so is Washington.
- thundachunk

I think Washington's out after they picked up Mike Weber.

I'd argue that Dallas is second-tier.

There are also rumblings about Pittsburgh and LA so he does still have some potentially attractive suitors.

And maybe Anaheim. Bob Murray has said he's not looking to make a big deal this year but he does usually do something...

Question... What's bickells cap hit? Does it all get buried?

Whoa ..me and Maclean thinking two 2;s and a prospect for Hammer...just sayin..

We also know how much of a lush you and MacLean are...just sayin.

We can absorb his cap hit if we play him but if sent down i think its $950k.
That said moving parts can prolly mean we play him.

the 2011 Canuck three ...Reunited and it feals so good....

Nylander?

After the hit he took at the World Jr's l, quite possibly. His hair style has all-star written all over it, however.

So, who knows

Pretty sure this guy's would say "Bartowski" on the back

Still unsure if Dan Hamhuis will want to waive, but if he does, I think the teams in play for him are Chicago and Dallas..

I have no idea why we should help Chi . Walk away. Find another trade partner that we don't have to eat cap next year. Winnipeg didn't.

Trade him between periods.

Well if the return is that much better, I don't see why not? Chi offer with pieces you want but have to eat some cap (which could maybe be flipped next year) > lesser offer sans bad contract coming back

That's nice but 2 2nds and Anthony D' Angelo is even better

Didn't they eat 33%?

Also, sell to the highest bidder, who cares who we are helping. Our future is the only thing that matters! Except for SJ, (frank) those SOB's

If eating cap gets us another high pick in June I'm all for spending all the FA money we can.

If it improves the return why not? a 1s
