I think they'll get 3 players
- a reliable d-man (perhaps not a typical top 4 guy but someone capable of eating those kind of minutes)
- a top 6 forward (center obviously preferred but it could be a winger)
- and the wildcard 3rd player which could either be a checking forward or 6th d-man

And I'm expecting the Hawks to deal with Winnipeg.

If we could pull off 2 moves that would be solid. IDK really what to expect, especially since there aren't many sellers yet

yeah its like contenders and pretenders. the pretenders hopefully realize they are just that.
anything can happen imo. We really havent seen bowman do shit since he has been here, maybe this is the time that he makes his first real deal as a GM. :dunno:
if he stands pat he deserves to be blasted by the fans.

Hawks need better defense, not Buff defense.
I name no names. I figure I already went out on a big enough limb predicting what I did :lol:

My prediction (and like all of my predictions, I hope to be proven wrong... )... I predict that you younger guys are going to see that all of that crowd love that extended to the entire community is basically all 'good will' there to be squandered (or spent if you'd rather call it that way).
It seems to me that a lot of people were under the delusion that the Hawks want 'multiple Stanley Cups' ... spend to the cap, get the players to make it happen, etc, eyc ...
what you may end up getting in the Bowman's is Pulford v 2.0 -) or rather the front office as a whole) -the Bowmans as hockey legends?! -yes, true enough (well Scotty, at leasy) - but the point is more like -Scotty was not a legend in Chicago -therefore -so what sort of emotional investment should Hawk fans have with the Bowmans? McD?
Anyways- I guess what I am saying is that I buy the part about the team isn't going to be in any appreciably better position than this. Other teams in the conference have gotten better. Where does that leave the Hawks?
So, consider this, prior to 2010 the team won in 1961 (and even that was a bit of a fluke) - what you may see is that this organization is more than content to have won a Stanley Cup -and you may not see another one for nearly another 50 years.
And in the end it really amounts to watching 'this space' where 'this space' = the Hawks -judge them by the front office's actions and not by BS marketing schemes ... meaning all of this - has the organization really changed their act, or are you younger guys going to be getting an education in the Organization.
Go prove me wrong Stan .... please.
