Brent Seabrook Suspended For 3 Games

[LordKOTL]

I thought it was 3 games, so he woukld be back for game 6--or am I completely out of my gourd?</p>

 

[winos5]

Yes, he misses games 3-5 and will be back for game 6.</p>

I think what he was saying is that with it being 2-2 a game 6 is guaranteed and that Seabrook will be back for that one so he has a chance to play again in this series.</p>

Reaves might go after him but know way Seabrook will go with him.

Only because of the trade off of how valuable the 5 minutes is.</p>


 </p>


Seabrook is actually a very good fighter.  He kicked the shit out of Woywitka a couple years ago.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

He will have to answer the bell at some point but I doubt it's during the playoffs.</p>


 </p>


Just circle the first Blues/Hawks game next season.</p>

but... but.... but... I was told he could be traded by then, haha</p>

Seabrook seems to be very well respected around the league as you don't see a lot of guys messing with him.

I can't know for sure... if only we knew someone around here who knows the guys and has talked to him...</p>

This seems to be the case. Seabs would be a top pairing D on any team in this league no question. Sometimes people like to rag on #7, but considering he's always been second fiddle to Keith, it's shows how lucky and spoiled we've been with having two bonafide #1's manning the top pairing. He's always been clutch with those OT winners. It would be too awesome if he decided game 6 with an OT winner, the Blues fans would be furious.</p>


I  totally get RK's mancrush on Seabs, but maybe that's because I am currently drunk.</p>

 

[LordKOTL]

IMHO Keith and Seabrook go together like Breaking and Entering, like Death and Dismemberment, like Guns and Ammo.</p>


 </p>


The extended times when they're not paired together is when both look like clotted menses.</p>

You're right Sharp before Seabs. Seabrook is untouchable from my GM chair.

You could.  Their contracts have similar cap hits.</p>


 </p>


Seabrook's is up a year earlier, and defensemen are harder to come by.</p>


 </p>


But something has to give, and GM's cannot simply declare players untouchable without a calculator. </p>

I guess we have to bank on these guys not getting too greedy. They two in question have babies, families here in Chicago and are nearing a decade living in the city. They've won two cups now, the pay increase will probably have to be well above the million dollar mark. It'd be nice for them to take a step back and realize that the 6 million a year they will likely get is more than than enough when uprooting everything will only garner and extra couple million. </p>


 </p>


Who knows though, I am completely talking out of my ass and just trying to be as optimistic as possible.</p>

In general, hometown discounts don't amount to squat.</p>


 </p>


The risks of holding on to players as they get close to their contract years are too great.</p>


 </p>


You also have to consider what's in Rockford.</p>


 </p>


Can Sharp or Seabrook be replaced by a youngin'?  I'm not talking about right away.  I'm talking about a guy that could grow into that role.</p>


 </p>


Is there a future 30 goal scorer in Rockford?  Is there another big-ass defenseman?</p>


 </p>


I don't know the answers, but I do know how nice they are to talk to doesn't matter to me at all.</p>

 

[Forklift]

This summer's money crunch isn't bad. They've got 20 guys signed already. The only RFAs are Raanta, Smith and Morin. I can't see any guy getting an offer sheet, so the Hawks will qualify them all and deal wth that.</p>


 </p>


Hopefully, none of the UFAs (Zus, Brookbank, Regin) will show up next season. They'd all be too expensive for what they bring.</p>


 </p>


Ol' Vodka Tits' NHL days are over. Oduya and Versteeg will probably get phone calls on draft day.</p>


 </p>


They're fine, and don't need to move any big contracts this summer unless they get something that knocks Stan over. Hell, since all I've heard out of NY is that Brad Richards is getting bought out, he might be amenable to signing a one-year here to see what the world looks like between Sharp and Hossa.</p>


 </p>


Hell, let's worry about it when there's no more hockey.</p>

There might be the 30 goal scorer, but I do not see anything of the sort from the defenseman. Seabrook is franchise player, just happens to be playing with 4 other franchise players, I am hopeful a deal can be done. At the very least a short term 2-3 year deal would be nice. </p>
