Stanley Cup rings

Captain Iago · May 27, 2010

Aight. Blackhawks roster right now who I believe has played for us this year; let me know if I've missed any:

Bickell - drafted before Tallon was GM
Bolland - drafted before Tallon was GM
Brouwer - drafted before Tallon was GM
Burish - drafted before Tallon was GM
Buf - drafted before Tallon was GM
Dowell - drafted before Tallon was GM
Eager - Tallon traded for him using Vandermeer
Fraser - was traded to Hawks before Tallon
Hossa - FA signed by Tallon (maybe not, but I'll give Tallon the benefit of the doubt atm for your sake)
Kane - drafted by Tallon
Kopecky - FA signed by Tallon (again, same as Hossa here)
Ladd - Tallon traded for him using Ruutu
Madden - FA signed by Tallon
Sharp - Tallon traded for him using all kinds of crap
Skille - drafted by Tallon
Toews - drafted by Tallon
Versteeg - Tallen traded for using Bochenski

Boynton - Bowman traded for him
Campbell - FA signing by Tallon
Hendry - FA signing by Tallon
Hjammer - drafted by Tallon
Johnsson - Bowman traded for him
Keith - drafted before Tallon was GM
Seabrook - drafted before Tallon was GM
Sopel - FA signing by Tallon

Huet - FA signing by Tallon
Niemi - FA signing by Tallon

The reds are pre and post Tallon as GM. There are 11 reds. Out of 27, that makes 16 green.

16/27 = 59% Tallon.

So I was off by 40% .... haha

Fair enough, you win.

But Tallon was in the organization before he became GM, so he may have been involved in some manner, right?

And even if it's only 50%, I think that's enough for a ring.

I would agree with that. He stepped out of the booth in the late 90s? I don't remember the exact year.

OK, mr wonderful.
Then what percentage is 2 out of all those?
You know, the two drafted by YOUR heroes.
Just because you hate DT, you need to negate all of what he truly has done for the Blackhawks.
And, included in all that is the enjoyment he brought to us fans by what he did.
I suppose that is wrong also.:talktohand:

I do not hate Dale. I'm simply stating the facts. Melt said that this is Dale's team 99%, which is pure fiction. I agree that Dale had an impact on this team; it would be outlandish for anyone to disagree. I stated that he would get his name on the cup, if the hawks would win. You quoted my post and decided to rail me...or rail some official Hawk mod and made it extremely difficult for anyone to tell who you were truly railing. Like most teams, it's collection of good and bad decisions from multiple GMs (Pulford, Smith, Tallon, and Bowman). Don't you know your Blackhawk history?

Maybe if you moved Tallon's abdomen a little to the left from the front of your face, your eyes would be able to see and brain able to comprehend what it is I'm stating.
