Hey haters, suck on this!!!

cherish the last few months ,itll be another 50 years before you have it again..youll be ******* yourself  before you see the cup again!

Muddy will be 90 when the Hawks win another cup.....

Hey Muddy....maybe Alex Salak is your goalie??

The guy is very athletic............Could be your guy???

I find it interesting that no one is discussing this trade. I found it rather interesting because both teams are dealing guys with loads of potential that just never panned out.

On one hand you have Jack Skille, who I actually really liked as he was coming up through the Hawks system. he has good size, soft hands and great skating ability. He was quite productive in the AHL but just never seemed to be able to translate that into NHL success.

On the other side, Michal Frolik when he was drafted was described by some as "baby Jagr". He's a very talented kid who's been one of the offensive leaders on terrible Panther teams in his first two plus seasons, scoring 21 goals in each of his first two seasons in the league. I am surprised that the Panthers gave up on him at such a young age (23). It makes me wonder whether there's some sort of attitude problem there.

The other part of the trade that's interesting is how the Hawks plan on using Frolik (just speculation here). He can play both center and left wing which gives the lineup a little more versatility having both him and Sharp that can play center and wing. If he can come in and produce at a 50-60 point pace (not out of the question considering he's been a 45 point player his first 2 seasons) it will add some much needed secondary punch to the offense because when the top guns are firing blanks, the Hawks lose this season. This deal may turn out to be more important than people think.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Michael Frolik is saving the Hawks season, I'm just saying the deal presents interesting possibilities.

you guys got the Euro  ..you lost , SKille will come back and give it to the Hawks for years to come..

You may be right, but where a guy is from has little to do with how good he is...would you rather have "euro" Jaromir Jagr or say...Kevin Stevens?

I liked Jack Skille alot and I don't think he got a fair shot in Chicago, but the reality is he was never gonna do it there playing 7 minutes a game behind Kane, Sharp and Hossa, and especially not with Jeremy Morin and Kyle Beach waiting for a shot a spot on the wing. Frolik may be able to fill the 2nd line void and allow Sharp to move back to wing.

 I would take  Kevin Stevens before the hit, especially come playoff time..why do you think the Hawks beat Vancouver the last 2 years ? you had Buff, Ladd, Toews ,Keith, Seabrook...we have Sedin ,Sedin, Sundin, Samuelsson, Edler..North American beats European every time..throw in a sh!tty goalie,how will we win..is ..there is a reason i didnt throw in Kane...he is a c#cksucker

Great start for the Hawks tonight...2-0 in the first. 

I love the jealousy out there.  Toews and Co will win a couple more before they retire.  Too bad the Canucks and Flames will never win one.

Good trade for the Hawks.  Skille just never developed into a finisher and Frolik looks like a better for for us.  The goalie may develop into something someday. 

Make it 3-0 Hawks.

Yeah, we really suck.

.I can't take this awful team with no heart and soul, getting abused like this on the road.  I'm glad all you haters were right about us, just like you were last year when all we heard was how the Hawks had no chance.
