We'll see.... he sucked balls for the Rangers in the playoffs.


34 years old... legs get tired near the end of the season.


It's like Handzus but better offensively. You'll see... I watched him play nearly 100 games last year.</p></blockquote>

...For 1,999,990 less than Richards.

I both love and hate you all.</p>

Unload Bickell for cap space?  $4mil for 59 games and 15 points (11g/4a) in regular season, and 10 points (7g/3a) in playoffs.  Or, Sharp with higher cap hit and 4 years older?  Or move a D (Oduya/Rozival)?  Are better replacements in system at wing or D, and that determines who goes?  Trades for big names just don't look like great returns (Van/Kesler, Ott/Spezza).</p>

With Morin signed to a one way deal, I'd say the most sense would be Versteeg.</p>

 

[cplmac]

With Bollig gone we are in no position to deal Bickell.  Also I called the Richards deal at the end of the Cup series.  Since I am right so fucking rarely on predictions I am going to enjoy this one.   Okay, enjoyed, what's next?  Shit this means TT is that much less likely to play with the boys.</p>

Maybe Richards can play third line center, move Shaw back to wing where he's  better anyway. Then you have 3 legit scoring lines.</p>


 </p>


Saad-Toews-Kane</p>


Sharp-TT-Hossa</p>


Bickell-Richards-Shaw</p>


Morin-Kruger-Smith</p>

 

[the canadian dream]

Maybe Richards can play 3rd line? Maybe? Its Q we are talking about. Richards will play 3rd line center along with 2nd along with leftwing and goalie at points through the season. </p>

If 'Steeg shuffles on out, I would bet on Regin or Nordstrom over TT next season....unless TT is that outstanding in camp.

 

[Variable]

Well, he almost made the team last year right?</p>

 

[the canadian dream]

come on he wasn't given a fair chance last year nor was he introduced to the team properly thanks to Mcdonutheads stupid red carpet media frenzy ceremonies. that was totally unfair to any prospect let alone one who just got off a plane from Finland..that was a giant cluster **** and is the bad of the bad with this org. (marketing with this org is fluffy and tacky) Doesn't take away from his actual skills. He could still very well make the team out of camp but I highly doubt that he does now anyways no matter how good his camp is. No need to rush him but Richards one year deal screams to me that TT is getting a full season in Rockford and time to put a bit more bulk on and his real time to win a spot will be in 2016. Not that there is anything wrong with that even though this fan boy wants TT action all day and all niiight.</p>

 

[BiscuitintheBasket]

Hmm TT action.....



Yup, I do think it is best for TT to do at least do next season in the Rock to further get acclimated to the NA game and to bulk up more. I liked what little I saw of him, no need to rush.

Yea that season Kane did in Rockford to bulk up really helped him out.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

Now golden boy TT can't even make the Hawks?? Wouldn't trade an AHL player for a Selke winning center

 

[the canadian dream]

watch your dirty fucking mouth!!!</p>
