[edicius]

Wow, that was quick. Right after I posted the rumor from TFP in the Rumor Mill.

Source?

Whoa.

Wow. Good pick ups for Atlanta, I'd have to say.

How the hell did they get a 1st and 2nd round pick? Isn't that pretty lucky for Chicago?

WTF?! An E5 that has actually happened!!!

[Octopus's Garden]

Tough for the Blackhawks to give up those three ... still a pretty decent haul in return.

The balance of power in the Central's already shifting back north.

[russianswede919293]

Blackhawks send Akim Aliu to Atlanta as well - Bob McKenzies Twitter

No, 24th. Atlanta is sending the pick they got for Kovalchuk from New Jersey.

[EZBAKETHAGANGSTA]

Holy Overpayment Batman. Buffers won't be nearly as effective with Atlanta.

EDIT: Just saw that BOTH the draft picks are from the Devils. Makes me a lot less mad at Atlanta, but still what a joke. We should ship them Hudler for 3-4 first rounders

Sucks to be Bufyglien, but *hard* decisions had/have to be made. This is just the tip of the ice-burg on that front in Chicago.

[achildr1]

Ok to anyone who thinks Atlanta got the better end of this, who-what?!?

Seriously, Chicago couldn't of hoped for better. I'm mad as a Wings fan that Atlanta gives away good assets for complimentary players. Morin is a highly touted guy, and a 1st and 2nd?!! Rediculous Atlanta got hosed, big time.

[mindfly]

Atlanta is a bit of a joke organization imo...

Agreed, I would honestly be amazed if Buff broke 25 goals next year, and taking away sopel's salary is huge.

Poor trade by Atlanta, Chicago just picked up a solid 3rd line center, a real good prospect, and 2 decent draft picks for Byfuglien and 2 pieces of trash.
