2012 Chicago Blackhawks Free Agency & Trade news, rumors, and updates

[Jntg4]

of course, but the hawks might want something other than picks and specs. I know I would.

Not if they are good picks and you are trying to create cap space for two big signings.

ESPNChiHawks says it sounds like Suter is a lost cause now though, but we are all in on Parise

 

[Capt. Serious]

Suter should be a lock for Nashville or Detroit.

13 year deals for hockey players is like 4-5 year deals for hard throwing starting pitchers. scary shit.

Yes, but it is also true that if you stand pat you don't win.

Would Hawks have won in 2012 without signing Hossa for (12?) years? I don't think so.

And if they get injured badly and aren't able to play, isn't there a way to take them off the payroll?

That 12 years is to lower the cap hit, only reason he got 12 years

Parise would be good because Hossa isn't getting any younger.

I'm not sure who is

 

[DewsSox79]

I'm not sure who is

pick and choose your battles.

 

[Jntg4]

pick and choose your battles.

Parise won't be young anymore in Hossa's later years, don't want 2 old past-prime players at once, so I don't get the logic.

Parise will be 28 this month, Hossa is 33 with 9 years left.

By Hossa's last year you have a 37 year old and a 42 year old.

The logic is that you only get so many shots with a team. Adding Parise gives this team another top 6 forward that it needs badly. This would be an all in move, and I would be jumping for joy if it happened.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Parise is 28. Hoss is gonna be 34 soon plus his injuries are slowly piling up.

And that's what I overlooked, the suggestion that the window (LOL, what window?) is closing sooner than later with aging Hossa and Sharp... I gotcha

Where would I find this info?

EDIT: checking capgeek

 

[Jntg4]

Damn does he get cheap...

which is my point of the cap hit. we can give suter a couple years at 7+ mil and still give him a Seabrook cap hit.
