I'm beyond baffled at what the fuck Daryl Sutter is doing, I mean the Boogarrd contract is a joke but it seems like he's just intentionally ruining that team.
Also wondering if there's potential for a Semin/Kaberle deal, Burkie's stated multiple times that they really need a top-6 forward and the Caps apparently didn't feel like taking a serious run at any of the viable FA D-men.
lol @ TSN montage of Olli whiffing several wide-open shots
So evidently ATL is trying to trade for Ladd.
Apparently, Ladd is a thrasher.
Ladd to the ThrashersLet's see if Bowman hoses them again.
I'm guessing all that's left on the Ladd trade is the approval of the league, and then it's done?
Chicago burnin' down the house...
Any word on interest from other teams in Hjalmarsson?
Yeah, no word on the return to the Hawks yet though, assuming the deal is for Horburne or a prospect. Ladies and gentleman, your 2010-2011 Atlanta Blackhawks!
Atlanta has 14 people signed and $28m in cap space left lol
TSNBobMcKenzie:
Pick and a prospect for Ladd.
What. The. Fuck.
I think Bowman's been playing too much NHL10, he's close to the A level GM relationship with Atlanta.
TSNBobMcKenzie:
Darren Dreger reports Ivan Vishnevsky and a second-round pick to CHI for Ladd.
2010-11 NHL Thread: Chicago Blackhawks vs Chicago Thrashers
Guessing this means both Bickell and Skille will be full-time Blackhawks next year, unless Bowman digs up some hidden forwards.
DarrenDreger:
I won't lie to you, working this Jokinen story today has been among the more bizarre experiences of my career. lol
lol Sutter granted a small interview and would comment on Tanguay only, not Jokinen.
oh my god he's planning to have them use a Tanguay/Jokinen/Iginla line, poor, poor Iginla
