Kimmo Timonen To The Blackhawks

[Rex]

Hawks pay a steep price for a guy who is 39 & hasn't played all season..

Stan Bowman is a joke.

hardly gave anything up for someone with Kimmo's talent, and is ready to play.

Typical meathead, ***** that we need defense and then ***** that we gave up a second rounder for a defensemen.

takes one to know one. .. maybe capt. Joe will go to lunch with you and you guys can ***** about the trade and weather together.

Maybe i will suck his **** and make you jealous *****!

You guys will see how shit he is now then you can all rub my balls. I wasnt bitching about defense i actually said a million times that i had confidence in the blueline once the playoffs started. Before oduya went down that is. Talk to glass half empty pez about freaking out about defense.

He's going to fill the role that Sopel did 5 years ago.

He's a defensive defenseman that isn't scared of blocking a million shots per game. Also decently physical.

He's old, but he's not coming here to be a star.

Are we watching the same Timonen here? I wouldn't say he is here to fill the Sopel role, he isn't overly physical, wouldn't consider him a defensive dman (more offensive if anything), and he is good at blocking shots but nothing ridiculous.

If Timonen can come in and play, this could be a good deal. Timonen has a pretty light contract so there is still plenty of room to add. Big question here is what are the Blackhawks doing with their blueline now? TVR is in the AHL and Rundblad, Erixon, and Cumiskey all would have to pass through waivers. Wonder if the Blackhawks simply risk losing one of those players.

Deal could go any way here, seems like a bit of a high risk/high reward...but I don't know if I would agree with your assessment of the style of hockey that Timonen plays. He has a nice overall game but I would consider him more of a offensive Dman and he will likely get a look on the PP right off the bat.

 

[TCD]

Missing the biggest question anyways.

Is his wife fuckable?

 

[Capt. Serious]

This would've been a nice deal 10 yrs ago.

Sorry, I don't see how this is an upgrade.

They already have one fucking dinosaur that wears #32.

Didn't think it was you I quoted. Shouldn't you be in the bath with a toaster?

He was more offensive when he was younger and could still get back. Last few years he's changed to more of a defensive dman.

Says the guy who likely has never seen Timonen play. Age aside, he's a major upgrade over anybody on the team not named Seabrook, Keith and Oduya.

Nobody is expecting him to step into the top four, but depth is depth.

And retiring after the season is over...

And that is the thing. Even with his age he has still been a decent defenseman and leader.

I looked her up. Shes an ugly old cow.

Dressing room is safe.

I now approve of this trade!

exactly. But you've got a couple retards who think that a second round pick is going to get you a top 2 defensemen, or a top line scorer.

Saw a few people on Twitter say that, in spite of his age, Timonen is still a pretty fast, smooth skater. And the Hawks haven't had that since Leddy left town.

Wanna see him play before I say much else. At least we know he'll be well-rested.

 

[DMelt36]

Looking at the possession metrics from last year in Philadelphia, he may have been the top puck-possession D-man on Philly's team last year.

 

[biscuit_in_the_basket]

The other thing is that unless a big piece moves, whomever they pickup is going to be a rental.

I've always like Kimmo as a player, I just question how effective he'll be at this age after such a long layoff. Basically the price was a little steep for my liking, but otherwise he'll be about as solid a rental 2nd/3rd pair D-man you're likely to get as long as he can shake the rust off quickly.

In all reality, he's got about 6 weeks to shake off the rust before the real season begins.

Sharp isn't too happy.
