I think they more meant he thinks he can. I think he's going back to Jr's to get more WHL.
He was drafted to be the Center behind JT. But I doubt this year, and or maybe not even next.

That was my expectation... Since he's 18 and since we have too many at center (with the expected signing of a 2nd line center), he can't go to the A. So yeah the WHL is likely where he'll be for the next two years. Due to that, I think he would take 3 yrs to get to the Hawks, which should include a Rockford stint...
I don't want him being pushed like other teams do with their players.

I forgot to use purple. Maybe Olsen will see some ice time on the big club this year before these guys.

If we want real depth at center why not go grab Madden back for a million, and Laich for 2.5. That would still leave us a shit ton of space and we'd have a solid as line up down the middle. Also if Buff, Ladd or Versteeg returned I'd jizz my pants. People seem to forget how great Versteeg was for us, PK, PP, great even strength, great back check, the guy was doing it all come time Stanley Cup Finals. Also his rap at the parade made him legendary.

Laich is going to get a lot more than 2.5, very likely he's in the 4-5 million range considering how weak the market is for center

He's just a prospect at this point.

I love Versteeg but that rap at the parade really was goofy and made him look immature.

I would love to get Ladd back - I miss him the most with the depth he added.

If Laich gets more than 3.5 I'll shit my pants. Guy is very SOLID, not a damn superstar, Jonathan fuckin Toews makes 5.5.

6.3, and Laich will likely get $4+ mil per.
Campbell traded gives this team massive options going forward, and, most importantly, allows us to keep Sharp on the team. Hurray!

no doubt Laich will be working in the 4-5 million range, which is crazy..but that's why i was asking who else for a ufa centre. The market is very weak....Nylander anybody haha.

By the way, lost in all of this, is the fact that Campbell will pocket an additional $700k per year by moving to Florida... That had to be taken into consideration.

What a great move by Scooter...I can't say it enough. I was a big fan of both Campbell and Brouwer...but he just shaved some great money.
They can even buyout Olesz - and the cap hit is peanuts -

To hell with Laich...with this savings, I'd kick the tires on Richards. See if the guy wants to win and get him under 6. If - and I'm sure Laich - is going to want 3.5-4 ...I'd put up 2 more mil to get Richie boy to play behind Toews who would be sick with Hossa. What a shutdown pair Hossa/Richards would be....

I think Olesz is on IR and therefor not eligible to be bought out and by the time he could be activated the buyout window would have closed. Looks like they could be stuck with him for a year at least.
Looking at Olesz stats, what on earth gave them the idea that he would be worth the money that they threw at him. 6 year contract worth almost $19M, WTF?!
