Buff, Eager and Sopel to ATL

[Ton]

Sopel is 100% pure class and is also a 100% pure PROFESSIONAL. I would love to see him in the organization somehow later on!

Negative points for reminding me of Dan Kelly.

I don't think he meant that in the context of playing for the Hawks again.



They love living in the Chicago area, as have many former athletes. Once his playing days are over don't be surprised to see him here in Chicago some how affiliated with the Organization in some fashion.[/quote]

I bet you it's not as the speed coach.

I asked my brother, who is a lifelong Hawks fan and is a Kitchener Rangers season ticket holder about Jeremy Morin. He says "He will be the real deal. He has a wrist shot from the two faceoff circles that finds net pretty often. Hope they keep him in Kitchener one more year though. Could help us to the memorial cup next year."

I hope he's right.

No. The Wolves own the Wolves. They are an affiliation with the Thrashers only through the affiliation. There is no ownership at all.[/quote]



Just like the IceHogs are not owned by the Blachawks.

But the Blackhawks have money invested in the Ice Hogs, don't they? I know the Coaching staff is controlled by the Hawks. I also thought they had personal investment.



The Wolves are owned out right by Levine.

Hawks own the coaching staff and players and subsequently their payrolls.

Outside of that they have zero investment in the team, stadium or franchise.

Well and thats where they differ from the Wolves. I'm almost positive the Wolves own some or most of their players and their coaching staff and the Thrashers use them as an affiliate and place some of their players there.



I could always be wrong.



Just wait till Mcdonough moves the Hogs CLOSER to Chicago. I bet you'll be real happy then.

That would be a shame...........Rockford is a great venue to watch an AHL game.

I agree, just saying.

What an idiot. I stopped reading after this clueless remark---





This deal just might be enough to allow them to save enough talent to keep on winning for a while, although that might be a bit premature. They're not out of the financial woods yet. It may require another call to Atlanta.



Are you serious? I had to laugh at the stupidity. I thought maybe they hired a certain fan from this site.



Typical BITTER Canuck fan Gallaghar is a dumb ****. Poor Canucks, got kicked out two years in a row by the hawks and will NEVER WIN THE FUCKING CUP! **** YOU!

Was that seriously published somewhere? That may be the worst-written, least-informed piece of "compost" I've read in a paper outside a letters-to-the-editor section.

Wow! Ecklund has competition now.

 

[bierboy]

I'm glad to oblige.

Is there a proximity rule at all?
