The got Terevainen for nothing....and have tons of cap space. They'll be fine. They won this deal.

I beat you both But to your point, not looking good.

Not related to the 15-16 season however the Hawks just traded bickell (his contract) and Teuvo Teravainen. Teuvo was supposed to be a part of their future. I know everyone has been saying Schmaltz is coming back (and I've actually heard from some very very close sources that he's coming back, albeit over a month ago) however given the length of time he's had to note he's coming back and given that there will probably be an open spot (or two) for him on this year's Hawks team.....I wouldn't be shocked at all if he signs.

Agree 100%. Folks tend to hate on Crosby because he's so good. Toews is my favorite NHL player but he can complain a bit as well....obviously I see nothing on this site about him :). The one thing that Crosby does every so often that can sometimes bug me is dive.

hater. :). Lets agree to disagree then. I'm not a fan of lebron for the same reasons u probably don't like Crosby.

ok ok, you're a Crosby hater I get it. But everything you just wrote is a major stretch. Backup his non sense....what???

well, take it all in and appreciate what you are watching. He'll go down as one of the best ever (hawks fan here). there are folks who like Pitt, those who don't, and those who appreciate great hockey players.

Oh...like cheap. I saw that slash, that's nothing. He was probably trying to get under Joe's skin. Crosby is not cheap nor is he a panzy. He used to whine quite a bit, however he's shed that reputation for those that watch him play.

Dang. I thought we would have a shot if he chose the college route.

You just contradicted yourself. Crosby is the opposite of a hack....he's generational.

shame that wolanin had to sit some games at the end. From what I hear wolanin was a beast in practice. So athletic and skilled. Good chance he leaves after next year.

Barring injury, if rinks gets the nod to start a game before Matej....i wouldn't be shocked at all to see him leave. But its not going to happen. Barring injury, rinks doesn't see the ice next year

I was wondering the same thing, however from what I hear he was talked out of it. First there is no way he stays longer than 4 years (most goalies have to play in the minors for awhile anyway) and second we have some nice prospects coming in who will demand time (St. Cloud kid and Thome) by then. I honestly think it is an appearance thing because it seems silly that he wouldn't have done it, especially considering he just turned 19.

Couldn't he go there now after playing one year in the US? He wasn't red- shirted.

Agreed, and I honestly think Tomek will push for Cam's spot. Now if Cam continues to play well we could see a 1a/1b situation. I have seen Tomek play very recently and he's very good. Covers a ton of the net with exceptional lateral movement.

He's in my top 3, I think he has cut down on the whining ten fold as compared to several years ago.

Correct, at that particular time (when he was 15). I believe Parise and A. Schneider gave him the tour or were at least there for it. However, during what would have been his true freshman year, he had 102 points in the NHL.

it was definitely fact all along, however u are definitely correct, there was no way he was coming here. Russo's "nearly" was a nice plug for und.

I would say we are an extreme long shot . As in 0.

Imagine last year's SCSU team playing an OHL team...with all that time and space. It would get ugly.

wowzers

what? Schmaltz had just as many pts as Dvorak....while barely getting pp time. Which was odd because he wad arguably the second best pp player on the team, that's on the coach (who clearly sucked at coaching this level). again you are completely ignoring the point were trying to make, that und had much greater (older) depth. what did marner do doing the wjc? He definitely didn't light the world on fire and he wad getting top pp time.

I agree with you on that point only. They are very deep. We are talking about two completely different leagues. The OHL can have only 2 20 year olds whereas the NCAA has many 20 year old freshman. It's not a great comparison. Again, no one is arguing against the CHL leagues being great development leagues.

you're comparing him to two undrafted players. Anyways I'm done with this pointless argument. I am a fan of both leagues...but still say UND wins 7 or 8 games out of ten games against London. Our D core alone would be way way too much to handle. Shaw would put up good number in that league, and that is not a knock on Shaw. I'm just saying.

I actually think their top line would be one of the best NCAA lines, my some damage was tongue in cheek. in regards to your other post, about their lineup, u had two former NCAA busts.
