This is hardly hawk talk I suppose

[Rex]

so Ruutu worked for the organization?



I'm just picturing him outside of the UC firing a shotgun in the air yelling "Hockey! Get your Hockey!"

 

[xatruio]

in my hopes and dreams Tuomo is someone who'll be back. He's affordable with our new cap and serviceable with a lot of familiarity. Notice his injuries have gone down since leaving but still has good skill. If reunited in Chicago with Toews and Kane, he'd shine at least on the third line

 

[Rex]

well, he would do better than Bickell if that's what you're saying.

 

[the canadian dream]

ruutu would be a perfect pick up for the hawks right now. if they could find a way to bring him back it would instantly correct the things that are lacking. i dont see why they couldn't try and make a move. if i were bowman its something i would persue aggressively right now.

 

[Rex]

Ruutu-Bolland-Frolik does sound pretty sexy lol.

I doubt Ruutu would get 3rd line minutes. I see him, with the Hawks anyway nowadays, as a fourth liner. I spose he could slot up to the 3rd.



Ruutu is making way too much He is making 3.8 million. I just don't see him in the Indianhead making close to 4 mill. 10 points, 20 pims, plus 1.



That said, I would love him back here. If for nothing else, just to have RK admit he is the best player in the world.

He'd definitely getting 3rd line minutes IMO. You say 10 points without mentioning 7 of those are goals, which would put him tied for third on our team, not to mention he's on a struggling team. He also would be leading the Hawks in hits with over 50 already. His pricetag is definitely something that would keep him from returning but don't give up hope yet Jako, if he were to come at a price he'd fit in very well here. He's been a fine bench player for my fantasy team.

 

[jakobeast]

Im not crazy about the hits stat. It is very subjective, along with +/-. Unless the plus minus is at least double digits, it doesn't register for me.



You all know I loves me some Ruutu, but pert near 4 mill is too much for him right this second. TDL, maybe, but again, I just don't see it. I would love to be proven wrong.

 

[Rex]

I would also love for you to be proven wrong. I want him replacing Bickell on the third line. Imagine...Bickells role taken over by someone who hits...and tries!

 

[Tater]

Would they take Olesz for him?





























I don't need purple here right?

 

[Rex]

I would rather give Bickell for him lol.



Olesz is a key peice of our cup run (purple? you will never know)

I love how you take a shot at the guy making the least amount on this club.

If you want to start taking shots at people start with Bolland. He needs to get playing better for this club to be a contender.

Maiden taking a shot at Bolland? This is surprising to me!



Bolland has been hitting, does he show up on the scoresheet every night? No. Unless your name is Toews, Hossa or Kane, you're not really expected to.



Bolland is making more money, tbh I don't care how much any of these guys are making since we are not at the cap ceiling. I'll call out Bickell for playing soft, for floating around, and basically doing **** all. There are enough better players that can replace him.



and I'm taking a shot at Bickell because he is the biggest forward on our team, and hits less than Patrick Kane. I don't care how much he gets paid, what does he do? I'm not paying him, so I don't care about how much he's making. He's taking up a roster spot.
