It wouldn't surprise me if he's dealt with that 2nd uber-cheap year of the deal.  That's attractive to a team willing to give him another shot to play harder.

Henry to the panthers. Might as well call the the Blackhawks south...... Kinda like LAK are the Flyers west.

Actually Jordan Henry is not the same guy as Jordan Hendry.
The Panthers got Jordan Henry.

As for the Stalberg deal, I think it's a very good signing for 875k. I think considering the fact that he scored 12 even strength goals last season, he may have a chance to score 20 with a little PP time (if he earns it). That would make him a great bargain depth scorer on a team starved for them.

Good post andru, I was about to point out the same thing?

Whoops - Henry, Hendry..... ;)


ducks get cogliano for a 2nd. He'll probably fit in well there.

They're definitely in need of some secondary scoring in Anaheim, especially if Selanne doesn't return. Cogliano makes them a bit quicker and a bit younger.

So it's looking more and more like Patrick Sharp will start the year as our second line center, which isn't the worst thing in the world. Or we could we perhaps see a line of Frolik/Olesz/Kruger, Sharp and Hossa, with Sharp taking the draws and someone else technically playing center?

Kaner to have wrist surgery, should be fine for camp.  Good thing he doesn't lift anything more than 12 oz at a time.

Campoli will not be a hawk next season




And 3 yrs $7 mil for frolik..... HAHAHAHAHAHA. 9 points in 28 games for the hawks last season. Talk about overpaid!

They signed lepisto to replace campoli..... Who the feck is lepisto?

Limp wrist surgery..if Kane only slaps his cabbies at 50% he will be good to go for the 2011/2012 season

A cap hit of 2.3 is not overpaying for Frolik considering what the market has been set at. He had a down season offensively, but he has scored 20+ goals in the NHL twice and also has some upside. If Kopecky is worth 3 million in this market, Frolik is surely worth 2.3. The fact that they went 3 seasons I think makes this a very good deal for the Hawks.

As for Campoli, I would have liked to see him return, but it seems his head got a little too big for the Hawks room. I do however understand that the combination of seeing Campbell moved and everyone this summer getting overpaid made Campoli think he was in for a big pay day. I'm glad to see the Hawks didn't over-value him. That said, Lepisto was a depth signing because now, without Campoli and Campbell, the defense is lacking in the puck-moving department, a role that is essential to the system they play. I suspect that if they don't get off to a good start, there will be a minor deal for a good-skating, 5-6 defenseman.

Ha ha - I'd rather have Talbot at $1.8 mil or Simmonds at $1.75 mil than frolik at $2.3 mil.... 9 points in 28 games for the hawks last season - that's on pace to score <25 points in 80 games.      

Kopecky was PAID by a team that needed to reach the cap floor - which players and owners all knew would happen.  I think that's a bad comparison.  I could make the argument that Brunette is a better player than Frolik and he only got $2 mil - isn't brunette playing in the top 6 - frolik w/ the bottom 6?

Hawks are F'd on Defense.  Bottom 3-4 players are a joke and with the increased PIMs Crawford will be screwed in net.  I actually feel bad for the 2nd year goalie.  

You guys still lack depth too.... What happens when a Dman is out for a few games, few weeks..... how about a player like Hossa or Kane? There is not enough fire power to step it up elsewhere IMO.   

hawks are an 8-12 seeded team.

Frolik is a steal at that cap # in relation to what other and lesser free agents have gotten this off-season. 

I can't wait to collect that $100 moy is gonna owe me.  I told a couple of my Hawks pals about the bet and they openly laughed out loud at it.  Every national hockey scribe is amazed at how well the Hawks have done this off-season and are predicting the to finish in the top 3 in the West.  I should have gone for more.
