    Works out pretty well. Crawford is back undisputed starter next round. 6 games is a good #. Minny looks good tho.

    Still not even playing our best - esp on D obviously. Power Play with Kane is where it needs to be.

    Now time to get some rest whoever the next opponent is.

    Hawks only gave 11 shots since Crawford came in. That's good livin.

    illinasty saw you post about Artemy Panarin. You really think Sharp is gone? Dude's play is almost forcing his way onto next year's team...but I dont see how you make his K work.

    I donno at this point, I've spent more time trying to figure out what they'll do this offseason than Stan fucking Bowman. I think you tip your cap to Sharp and Bickell as they raise their stock here in the playoffs. Sharp is a legitimate Hawks legend at this point, up there in the alltime numbers. Not an easy decision.

    Agree. And thats why I pause assuming he is headed out the door.

    Still can't see Bowman signing a russian. But getting a cheap ELC guy would be nice.

    If Sharp keeps playing well enough we might be looking at a whole new class of players that could help the team next year. Someone like Boone Jenner or 1st round picks or Wennberg, Trocheck maybe even in a package for one of the Ottawa boys. I still think Uncle Dale will pay through the fucking nose for Sharp. Sharp is Dale's greatest achievement as a GM.

    @PR_NHL: Per @EliasSports: @NHLBlackhawks are 1st in #StanleyCup Playoffs history to have 2 different goalies record a win in relief in same series.

    Wild are going to be difficult. Dubnyk can be had, but I really like the speed of their Dmen. They've been progressing the past 2 years.

    How big of a change do you see this roster having this offseason?

    Sharp
    Bickel
    JO
    Rosizval

    All gone?
     
  22. Illinihockey

    Roszival is gone for sure. Oduya likely gone as well unless he wants to take a huge paycut (which he won't). I think you have to move Bickell and then it will come down to what they sign saad for as to whether or not they trade sharp

    I think the Hawks take the next series because they have home ice on Minny. Bouncing the Wild 3 years in a row is going to be awfully tough

    This is gonna be a 7 game series for sure is my thoughts. I went to Flagship on Belmont for the game last night and the bar was rocking. City is starting to get behind the Hawks again

    :loldog:

    this is a much easier time of year for him. Instead of trying to focus on homering it up for St Louis and hate everything Chicago, he can just channel his hate towards the Blackhawks & Kris Bryant.

    I <3 that you guys are so focused on me. I'm truly flattered.

    Hawks fans/cubs fans accusing me of homerism is pretty rich.

    Please show me those homerish posts.

    depends on what happens tonight with Red Wings series and to some degree Bulls. If Bulls win tonight, think the United Center is not booked Saturday.

    Wednesday or Thursday

    Latest potential Game 7 is the Red Wings/Lightning tentatively on Wednesday, though that series could end tonight. So, Wednesday or Thursday, maybe?

    First two games of that next series will be in Cleveland anyway. Earliest I could see a Bulls home game in round 2 is probably Sunday.

    Dude you live in our threads... I never go into a Blues or Cardinals thread because you aren't worth my time or energy.

    But you live in ours... maybe you aren't a homer but you are pathetic.

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was a sports discussion board were we discuss sports. My mistake.

    I'm in a lot of team threads. Don't feel so special. Just happens I watch a lot of Chicago sports because they're on where I live. How pathetic of me.

    We can't. The one where you said "We are beating Chicago this year, with or without Kane" got deleted.

    If you don't think you're a Blues homer nor have a hard-on for Blackhawks hatred idk what to tell you.

    I did say that. I don't see how that's homerish. Blues beat te hawks pretty soundly in 3 games dominated possession in 1 of the 2 losses.

    Fuck me for thinking that right?

    Too bad we chocked again. Oh well.

    ok so some sort of Armchair GM with guys we have on K, bringing back some RFA, and dumping Versteeg and Bickell

    FORWARDS
    Brandon Saad ($4.5m) / Jonathan Toews ($10.5m) / Marian Hossa ($5.275m)
    Patrick Sharp ($5.9m) / Teuvo Teravainen ($0.925m) / Patrick Kane ($10.5m)
    Artem Panarin ($0.925m) / Phillip Danault ($0.833m) / Mark McNeill ($0.833m)
    Joakim Nordstrom ($0.650m) / Marcus Kruger($2.0m) / Andrew Shaw ($2.0m)
    Ryan Hartman ($0.900m)

    DEFENSEMEN
    Duncan Keith ($5.5m) / Brent Seabrook ($5.8m)
    Niklas Hjalmarsson ($4.1m) / Trevor Van Riemsdyk ($0.925m)
    Stephen Johns ($0.8m) / Ville Pokka ($0.925m)
    David Rundblad ($0.900m)

    GOALTENDERS
    Corey Crawford ($6.000m)

    Other assets:
    Kyle Baun ($925k) Wing
    Tanner Kero ($925k) Wing
    Vince Hinostroza ($925k) Center
    Mike Paliotta ($925k) Defense

    Raanta ($800k) Goalie

    ------
    SALARY CAP: $71,500,000; CAP PAYROLL: $71,300,000~

    Really dont know if all those salary$ are right - think the highest an ELC can be is $925k
    Not sold on Teuvo as 2C.
    Shaw can do multiple parts on 3rd or 4th line obviously
    Kruger at that price would be a bit much for a 4C, no?
    This offseason is going to suck without capgeek

    The Cap crunch really isn't that hard to understand, Fran.

    You need to lose 1 of: Seabrook, Sharp, Crawford

    AND

    Bickell OR (Kruger, Shaw and Versteeg)
