stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 remember how many teams were "closing" in on a deal with him last year... I think Winter is just jacking his price up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 haha ouch, so much for hoping Hossa the best. Please go to LA instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMan Mark 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 where does Chi get all the money especially with who they need to sign inthe next 2 years. Bye bye Havlat, if true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I think Winter is just jacking his price up... That's a good point. Its not realistic for the Hawks to acquire Hossa on a long term deal with guys like Toews and Kane yet to be signed long term. Saying he's close to the Hawks, is a good way to make the Wings jump. I mean, look how fast we all jumped when we read this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 That would be pretty much my worst case scenario. I don't want to see him play against us every other week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saying he's close to the Hawks, is a good way to make the Wings jump. I mean, look how fast we all jumped when we read this. plus I said in the other thread they only have like 8 forwards signed for next year. plus they want Khabibulin signed. If he goes that'll suck.

WingsFANstuckintheSOUTH 10 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 come on guys...chicago cant afford him..next year they have kane and toews..thats at least 10 million combined right there..they cant do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I think that might mean the end for Havlat, then. Aren't they trying to sign him? I don't know about Hossa going there because they have a lot of youngsters to sign next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HudlerFanatic 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 come on guys...chicago cant afford him..next year they have kane and toews..thats at least 10 million combined right there..they cant do it apparently they have about $10M more cap space then us according to capgeek.......

HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Why not just post this in the Hossa turn down thread instead of using up space with this topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMan Mark 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 It's gotta be posturing by Winter. Hawks make no sense in this scenario. Especially with all the talk of their young players. I gotta believe this is BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rage 24 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Maybe they trade Campbell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadMan Mark 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Who in their right mind picks up Campbell's contract. Chi waaaaay overpaid. I hope they get stuck with it for the life of the contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevie for president 42 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 they could trade huet to edmonton since roloson is leaving, and then sign roloson or bulin assuming edmonton wants that contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Meh, who cares? Chicago can ride themselves into cap hell for all I care, which is exactly what theyre going to do if they sign Hossa. Go for it, Chicago. Defense and depth win championships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
