HawksCap @HawksCap As everyone starts playing fantasy Hawk GM, watch the ELC bonuses. Your selections might have and extra $4.2 in bonuses, Potential Bonuses for next year: TT $650k Panarin $2.575 mil Johns $300k Danault $175K McNeil $537k Pokka $800k ^ guy goes into detail on his twitter timeline about the bonuses as we start messing around with armchair GM Any amount the bonuses exceed the cap this year would carryover into 2016-217
Listening to Barry Rozner talk about the Hawks and their cap situation makes me want to blow my brains out
That guy is obsessed with bonuses. You have to be Kane or Toews good to get fucked by bonuses. Injuries throughout the season cover most of your bonus pool. It's really not a big deal and if it is... it's because Panarin beat out McDavid for Calder and won the Conn Smythe.
... and as I decry the irrelevence of bonuses the score reports we have a 800k overage? wtf? Hawkscap fucked up somewhere if true.
Listen to the shit Rozner is saying, he has no idea what he's saying. He's said that there is no market for Sharp and the Hawks may have to retain some salary, that Saad is going to $6 mil per, that theres a mystery $800,000 in cap penalty that no one else is reporting.
He said earlier today that the 8 teams interested in Sharp was fabricated by the Hawks to try to drum up a market. That Washington and Pittsburg both can't trade for Sharp because of their cap problems, that he can only go to 10 teams (partially true, but he can waive his NMC), that $5.9 million is a huge cap number.
@ChrisKuc: Hearing Stars, Penguins and Panthers are teams most interested in #Blackhawks' Patrick Sharp. Asking price still too high.
@ESPNChiPowers: Kimmo Timonen reached a games played bonus, but it did not cause a cap penalty for the Blackhawks, according to a source.
Juha Hiitelä @jhiitela Teräväinen to media in Helsinki today: ”Female fans (in Chicago) are quite horny. They come really close."
Chris Kuc@ChrisKuc 17m17 minutes ago Source says #Blackhawks considering trading Bryan Bickell. Depends on who else they can move. Calls it "50-50" Bickell is traded.
still cant believe Pittsburgh drafted Staal over Toews probably b/c Staal was OHL and Toews opted for an American HS and NCAA but damn. Thank you forever and and forever.
Sounds like bullshit to me. Sounds like the Hawks saying well, we reaaaally don't want to trade him but if you twist our arm...

Come the fuck on Stan, lets get this Saad deal done. Also things have gone really quiet on the Reilly front.
Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva Si les joueurs avaient refusé d'appliquer le 5% d'augmentation annuelle du plafond salarial, le "cap" aurait été à 67,9M$, en baisse de 1,1M ^ The cap was going to be at $67.9 million without the player escalator :bulletdodged:
Stan needs some certainty to make moves at the draft though. Knowing if we have Reilly and what Saad's cap it is at would help immensely.
seems like whats happening is GMs are talking/negotiating in Vega but deals are waiting to be done until the GMs rendezvous with the rest of their group back in Miami for the draft Im sure the NHL wants to build suspense for Friday night as well
CAN SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPEN STAN, Jesus Christ. My flight is taking off in 5 minutes and I got 0 fucking news for 9 days since the cup.
When you arrive in South Korea and its 18 hours into the future, let us know who the blackhawks drafted
Scott Powers @ESPNChiPowers Stan Bowman says he sees David Rundblad having a bigger role and contributing more next season.
Rundblad didn't play bad in the playoffs outside of his first game and I feel like this was to be expected.
we seem set at Right Defense Seabrook Johns Hjammer (prefers right) TVR if the guy couldnt crack this lineup this year then time for new blood I was pretty surprised
so would we trade Sharp in the division to Dallas? and take on a goon like Roussel for Desjardins 4th LW spot?
Chris Kuc @ChrisKuc The #Blackhawks' longest road trip of the 2015-16 season is a six-game swing from Nov. 18-28. http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/app
Was thinking about this and I think you are right. Don't want to announce it and complicate any trade talks. Bet you'll see his extension announced on Saturday
Mike Heika @MikeHeika Source: Stars not in on Patrick Sharp trade talks | @sportsdaydfw http://share.d-news.co/4EomrEK
Yeah, just an approximate number even. If they announce the Saad deal before dealing Sharp they lose a lot of leverage because everybody knows they would HAVE TO trade him or others then.
James Mirtle @mirtle Asking price for Patrick Sharp is still very high. Bowman is a wizard if he can get that kind of return (pick, prospect and player).
Chris Kuc@ChrisKuc 46s46 seconds ago #Blackhawks are working on a deal with restricted free agent Marcus Kruger. Sides are currently discussing terms.
