Chicago Blackhawks Player Discussion VOL 2

[Captain Iago]

His contract or cap hit?

Hossa has a great cap hit, and quite frankly as fans that is all we should really care about. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the future, but right now it is looking like an absolutely great move. Personally, I think it will be fine in the future as well.

being the 33 and the type of player he is, regression will always be a factor especially now with where he is at as far as age. he has had his fair share of injuries and that doesnt help his cause in the future. he is a great player for the hawks right now, but the chances of him repeating those numbers or beating those numbers the rest of his contract are very slim.

The only thing not to like about Hossa's contract is if his body breaks down and he does more sitting than playing. But that's about true with...any player.

When his offensive game declines, why couldn't he be a key ingredient to a shut-down 3rd line? He's got the smarts, which never "leaves" a player like ability can.

Henrik Sedin has more assists than Kane has points.

Imagine had Kane shown up the entire season? At least 90+ points.

Yeah, he's playing alot better but still only 65 points for his skill level is unacceptable.

Just need to get a Kaner clone and put him on the same line. That'll do it. :crazydance:

Also, just for the sake of argument:

Henrik's first five years:
82 GP, 9 G, 20 A
82 GP, 16 G, 20 A
78 GP, 8 G, 31 A
76 GP, 11 G, 31 A
82 GP, 18 G, 57 A

Kane's first five years:
82 GP 21 G, 51 A
80 GP 25 G, 45 A
82 GP 30 G, 58 A
73 GP 27 G, 46 A
80 GP 23 G, 42 A


He may have taken a step back this year, but he's still got quite a headstart.

Kane also was a year younger when he entered the league than Henrik.

Eddie O flat out said he doesn't think Stalberg is a top 6 forward during today's broadcast on NBC.

Eddie O confuses me, a lot.

Stalberg has become the team's best secondary scoring threat. Can't believe Edzo hasn't figured that out.

Eddie tries so hard not to be a "homer" on NBC broadcasts that he says outlandish things.

Right now he's on the second line and doing great.

I think he'll be a top 6 forward.

He's only going to get better. He has the speed. If he improves his shot and gets better at finishing. Oh boy....:fap:

 

[inactiveuser1]

I want Versteeg back

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Id kill to have Brouwer back :lol:
