Chicago Blackhawks 2010-2011

[Dismagic1]

Does anyone know if the Hawks have to shed salary to be compliant in the offseason? Will the team we see currently be pretty much intact for next year?

I know the big boys are locked up.. Toews, Kane, Keith..

You forgot your number one negro. Without Byfuglien, you wouldn't still be in the playoffs.

 

[BigP50]

Take any of the guys out of the equation and we would be out.

It breaks down like this...

Sharp
Versteeg
Huet

two of those three will be gone, in order for them to trade Huet they will have to add in Versteeg + prospects from AHL. If they cant trade Huet, they may buy him out, or dont be surprised if they send him down to the AHL. The Hawks would have to pay him out of their own pockets, but he would not count against the cap.

I would prefer they deal Versteeg over Sharp. Sharp has shown he can play the wing or he can center and do a very good job at it. Versteeg struggled in the center role when he filled in for Bolland. Plus Versteeg has all the skill in the world, but his hockey sense seems to be lacking big time.

I'm with you. We need to keep Sharp, he's fantastic!

I would be very surprised if he is gone. The only way I can see him being dealt, is if they cant find any other way to dump salary.

How long do we have Keith and Buff locked up for? Those 2 along with Kane and Toews need to be Hawks for the remainder of their careers.

Buff- 3 I believe

We have Keith locked up for 13 years? Or did you mean 3?

Oops and I forgot about Hossa. We have him for about 10 or so.

 

[tbo41fan]

Keith got a 13 year contract
Hossa got 12 years
