JULY 1st

[PatrickShart]

No word on Fleshman's health though (yes, I know I spelled it like this)

 

[PatrickShart]

Maybe waiting for NYR to blow their wad on Richards...then trading for Dubinsky?

 

[Ton]

Not sure how I feel yet. I like the Brunette and Mayers signing. O'Donnell is a dinosaur and Brett McLean hasn't played in the NHL since 08-09 and hasn't played professionally since 09-10. Why not make a pitch for Goc? He went to FLA for $1.7M... steal of the day so far.

Sorry Ton...this was a good pick up for the price



TSNBobMcKenzie: Just to clarify since I apparently can't type - doh - Goc's deal in FLA is 3 x $1.7M. Sorry about that shoddy work.

lets get Tolbot!! he is interested in us more then anyone they are saying.

Getting Maxim and a center would be a great day for the Hawks. Really impressed by the choices Hawks have made. Especially for the money spent.

 

[PatrickShart]

I think Stan and Co. have their plan....and I have zero doubt that they have thier centers in target of who they want at what price.

No word on Fleshman's health though (yes, I know I spelled it like this)

yeah there has been word. His doctors say he's fully recovered---he simply has to take meds to prevent any future blood clots.

Anyone interested in buying a cottage on Lake of Bays, Ontario?? #motivatedtosell

WORD! I am getting a whole "you get what you pay for Pisani/Boynton" feel today.



Eh, I still don't like the Brunette or Mayers signings either---why not go strong after poaching Cole if Fleischmann's out of your plans before Brunette? Gah. Goc would have been a solid pickup.

@ESPNChiHawks Jesse Rogers

Hawks put out out a release about signings, etc. You get the feeling they are done for now but could use that depth center more than Mclean

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

lets not hand out the report card on Stan untill the day is over.

 

[Irish Hawk]

Well Talbot's gone to the Flyers 9m over 5 years.

 

[Ton]

I don't think a report card can be handed out until training camp, July 1st in the hockey world is the longest day in hockey, it lasts a month.

 

[PatrickShart]

Best part of Brunette is ....vs VAN -

10-11 - 6gms-3g-1a-4pts

09-10 - 6gms-2g-4a-6pts

08-09 - 6gms-0g-1a-1pt

07-08 - 8gms-2g-8a-10pts

06-07 - 8gms-4g-4a-8pts

05-06 - 8gms-3g-8a-11pts

03-04 - 6gms-2g-2a-4pts



48gms - 16g-28a-44pts

I agree...not to excited about Mayers (although he's more physical than Pisani...8min a game doesnt do anything)...Cole is going to get a few years decent dollars



And paying Talbot or Goc to be a 4th line center for 3/4yrs just under 2mil? Pass. They are checking role centers and Hawks have Bolland already to do that.

@ESPNChiHawks Jesse Rogers

As I wrote a day or so ago, hawks saw weak C market after richards...give Kruger a chance...save money for deadline center pick-up...but they still could use one now for 4th line so might still get one just wont be 2nd line

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

I really I really would like to See Leino, He is out for sure since now Philly's cap space is low....Ohhh please Stan Please Sign him.

Don't know why I'm so hard on him but, I feel he will bring some added threat for us

Have to agree, think he would be a fantastic addition.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

I'm sorry but I do not like Kruger. way too soon to plug him in. IMO I don't think he will fit the system. But I can be wrong.

 

[Ton]

Lol PMX Goc is not a 4th line C... and if they have Bolland to do the whole checking line C role, then move him up because he can produce too. Nobody has a problem with Leddy taking Campbells spot but God forbid if Bolland plays a few more minutes. Like he can't handle it.



Sharp/Toews/Kane

Brunette/Bolland/Hossa

Bickell/(CENTER)/Frolik

Mayers/Kruger/Smith



Goc sure would look good in that spot we are totally missing, for $1.7M that's a steal for 2 years. Much better than $2.75M for a bottom 6 d-man.

Probably because Leino is not underwhelming?

Leino would be awesome! As the pool of FAs kept dwindling all week, as of last night I wanted Stan to pick up Fleischmann or Leino.

I don't see what the big deal is, it's not like Goc is off the board, I'm sure we another spare part or two from the Stanley cup run to offer Dale...
