look, I'm not suprised, and why are so many of you pissed this happened. You new they had to shed salary from begining of the season. I hate to see any player from this team go after a season like we just witnessed but come on peeps geat real here business is business. I am gald Sharp is not going anywhere. He is a big part of this core. If we have to get rid of a few more, so be it. Anyone that fills their shoes will excell with the players we have because they all all winners. Who knows we might get suprised and land good vetearn player too. Who wouldn't want to play for us next year. Knowing the cast we still got.

This is a GREAT deal, when you get over losing Buf. We shed salary, we got a vet center, an excellent LEFT WING prospect, and picks to stock the farm again... I expect we're not done yet either. Versteeg will probably go as well.

Top headline at NHL.com is:
Reports: Hawks deal Byfuglien, Sopel to Thrashers
The Chicago Blackhawks reportedly have dealt playoff hero Dustin Byfuglien to Atlanta as part of a multi-player deal.
ESPN.com and TSN report that the Hawks sent Byfuglien, Ben Eager, defenseman Brent Sopel and a prospect to the Thrashers for the first-round pick (No. 24) Atlanta acquired from New Jersey in the Ilya Kovalchuk trade, a second-round pick (No. 54) that also came from New Jersey, prospect Jeremy Morin and veteran forward Marty Reasoner.
TSN reports that the prospect going from Chicago to Atlanta is Akim Aliu, a second-round choice by Chicago in 2007.
Byfuglien, a 25-year-old forward, had 17 goals and 17 assists in 82 games with the Hawks during the regular season, then added 11 goals – including five game-winners, during Chicago’s run to the Stanley Cup. Sopel, 33, had 1 goal and 7 assists in 73 regular-season games and was 1-5-6 in 22 playoff games. Eager had 7 goals and 9 assists with 120 PIM in 60 regular-season games. He played 18 playoff games with 1 goal, 2 assists and 20 PIM.
Reasoner, 33, had 4 goals and 13 assists in 80 regular-season games. Morin was taken in the second round (No. 45) by the Thrashers last year. He had 47 goals and 36 assists for Kitchener of the Ontario Hockey League in 2009-10, and also scored 2 goals and 5 assists for Team USA’s gold medal-winning squad at the World Junior Championship.

Anyone that doesn't understand this trade can go back to chanting Let's Go Blackhawks and then you can come back in May.
Solid deal for the Hawks, it HAD to be done, Buff's value will never be higher then it is right now. Something tells me that it might be hard for the big man to get motivated every night in Atlanta and the 6,000 fans a night. If they don't get to the playoffs and make it to the Finals then it's a win for the Hawks because we won't have to deal with him during the best part of his season.
5 picks in the top 60. You know that just gave us more to include in a deal with Huet, or Versteeg.

[quote name="pmxc12873"]I don't mind this deal at all....2 picks....Reasoner can play 4th line center, plays the pk, 51% on faceoffs
I'm curious about this Jeremy Morin kid...
19yrs old....LW (which Hawks lack)
6' 1" 190lbs ... Last year in the OHL - 58gms - 47g - 36a - 83pts ...21pts in 20 plyoff gms as well....[/quote]
Very talented player. Their number 2 prospect. Combined with the 1st and 2nd in a very deep draft added to dumping Sopel and Eager this is an amazing return for basically just Buff and a headcase. I love Buff but the Hawks really couldn't have done better.

I would love to see Versteeg play, he has some of the best hands in the league, kills penalties, great guy around the team. And he hasn't even been in the league 2 years. There are few guys that can do some of the things Versteeg can do, and in a year or two when he stops doing some of the little things well, like putting the puck deep when needed, passing when needed etc., he's gonna be unreal, making our team more unreal. I say lock Steeg up for a while.
Huet......Leave.

Or enough ammo to move up to draft Jack Campbell.

If the cap goes to 59.4 million and factoring a bonus of 2.0 million for Kane and Toews(Just an estimate), this deal puts the Hawks at about 3.7 million in cap room with 13 players under contract. That does not include Beach and Lalonde nor does it include any RFA's.
Next up Versteeg. And if you think this deal in some way keeps Ladd on the Hawks you may want to reconsider that position.

Therein lies the problem. I think in order for Steeger to stay Huet needs to go, which won't be easy.

And Huet.
Versteeg 3.2 mil
Huet 5.6 mil
Opens up just about 9 mil more
Now you have about 15 mil gone.
Hawks will be in good shape.

Also Kane did not make his A bonus. Not sure where everyone is saying he did. There is nothing out there saying he has. Toews made 1.3 for the Con Smyth.
