Something I was just thinking about:
You're all upset about the Hawks not spending their money this summer. Yes, Parise and Suter were the best two guys out there and they're damn good. That's very true. But the Hawks tried and failed, can't really blame them there. Otherwise, who was a truly good signing that would be signed for reasonable money?
Wouldn't you rather wait for next year's free agency when the Hawks have the same cap room and there's more guys out there so the prices for each guy is more reasonable? I know I would. The Hawks won three years ago, and I'm in no rush to win one again next year or something. Yes, it's frustrating to see some good players pass by, but in the end the Hawks might come out as winners. Now if something doesn't happen next summer, I can understand frustration.
Bowman was either going to do what he did last summer and overpay for some guys that will do nothing or do the smart thing and wait for the trade deadline or next summer when there are better UFAs.
The only problem is if there will be a lockout this season and how the new CBA will affect the NHL.
