Huet will be offerd to Washington, Knabby will take less and fewer years, and Marty Halvat will wanna stay SO MUCH that he will also take under market to stay.

The proof is that they still win when he is not on the score sheet. It's not fair but it is reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-29309145009186083322009-03-29T07:28:00.000-05:002009-03-29T07:28:00.000-05:00I personally think that the biggest detriment to t...I personally think that the biggest detriment to the Blackhawks will be the drop in the cap. There will simply be not enough money to go around. Kane, Toews and Keith are going to demand a lot of money and even if all three of them, like you said, take a discount how much money will be left for the rest of the team. I am probably not the best person to ask because I am too emotionally attached to this team, but there are other guys that are also important to this team and I would hate to see them go. I am very glad I am not the GM because this is a very big problem for the Hawks.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081918624543276936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-83230809845791561042009-03-25T17:48:00.000-05:002009-03-25T17:48:00.000-05:00I could see Pahlsson pulling the 'ol Keith Tkachuk...I could see Pahlsson pulling the 'ol Keith Tkachuk/Mark Recchi routine of going back to the team that traded him.<BR/><BR/>Also, I didn't realize today was Central Division day on CLS but so be it!<BR/><BR/>(As I was typing this some caller said "Shit" on NHL Live, which I think is the first exciting moment in the show's history.)jamestobrienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607553979777452973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-11706385139493862632009-03-25T17:39:00.000-05:002009-03-25T17:39:00.000-05:00(Sleek would be screaming Pahlsson!)Damn straight....<I>(Sleek would be screaming Pahlsson!)</I><BR/><BR/>Damn straight.<BR/><BR/>Still, I'm kind of hoping the Blackhawks and 29 teams overlook the Swedish Overlord this summer and he sneaks his way back onto the Ducks.
