Yep and the horrid off-season that it was supposed to be for s***cago has started off not so badly...

I mean ... yea, they got a nice haul back, but you can't quantify Byfuglien's impact on that team based on stats and money. Would they have even made the Finals without his playoff production? He's a huge, huge piece to that puzzle.

so chicago now has the 8th overall pick....

It's New Jersey's first-rounder.

To give credit where credit is due, Eklund had this trade before anybody else.

Even a blind squirrel......

This was an awesome deal for Chicago, but by my calculations - oh, okay, by my looking over others calculations :) - Chicago still has a pretty serious cap problem. Is waiving Huet the best course of action?

I'm a little angry that Chicago seems to get away with their "situation" pretty comfortably :ranting:

I don't hate this trade for Atlanta's perspective. They clearly need to change the culture in that dressing room, so why not shuffle in some Cup champs.

Still hasn't gotten rid of their three worst contracts (Huet, Campbell, Sharp). They'll need to dump at least two of these guys to have any depth at all.

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

nice

edit:

Chicago to send Byfuglien, Sopel, Eager and Akim Aliu to Atl for 24th overall pick, 54th overall pick, Marty Reasoner and Jeremy Morin.

bab mackenzie

Huh? It was clearly stated that they recieved the 24th overall pick (Atlanta had New Jersey's 1st and 2nd round picks as part of the Kovy trade).

Youre forgetting Reasoner's 1.15 mil salary and Toews' 1.5 mil bonus. They're actually about 4.485 mil under the cap with 9 players to sign. Still some work to do. I will say that their forward core is still looking mighty studly though.

A 24th overall pick is an underpayment for Buff based on how important he was to their Cup win. We can consider the 2nd round pick the payment for Eager (which is a fair trade).

I'm still surprised Chicago gave up Buff... he wasn't a small piece of their win. This is the equivalent of the Wings trading Holmstrom before he hit his prime.

McKenzie says there are weird vibes around this one.

Its possible, not probable, but possible that Eklund made something up that went a little too far.

That would be awesome if this somehow turned out to be the end of Eklund's "career". He's been tolerated for far too long now.

His career will never be over, its the internet, if anything hockeybuzz will fire him and his new blog will be on google sites. The guy already doesn't have any credibility, personally I look at him for entertainment only, so I hope he sticks around for when I need a laugh.

That does not include the $4,000,000 in bonuses they owe (which has to be included on the 10-11 cap) and is also missing Reasoner.

Eklund is Hockeybuzz... he created it as a venue for his retarded rumours.

So none of the players know about the trade. And apparently Sopel's representation has no idea either. WTF is going on?

Edit:

"Hold up on trade call appears to be tied to waiting for league personnel to land in Los Angeles."

They won't contact the players until the trade call goes through. That won't happen until league personnel land in L.A. later this evening.
