Or Turco, for that matter. Eva, you are delivering the bonerific rumors.

[eva unit zero]

can they trade a player that goes to arbitration? can he be signed/traded before his hearing??

Yes.

indeed
Huet 2.0 on a cheaper contract.

Yes.

Thanks eva, I figured you had the definitive word. how about after arby? should they come to terms, can he be traded this season?

I can't imagine Niemi being slotted below Halak or Rinne. I bet it goes *at least* $3.5M. Wouldn't the Hawks problem be worsened if Huet was rostered? sure I barely grasp that +10% cap offseason overage concept... but i'd imagine carrying his $5.6M cap hit surely is going to hurt more than the benefit of his play will offset.

Arbitration is just a way of settling contract disputes for RFA's. It's not a special type of contract. A player whose contract was agreed to after arbitration is no different to any other player whose contract was not. Arbitration just gives the two sides a number.

So unless they agree to a contract with a NTC, yes they can trade him.

The only thing I can think of that may have confused you is offer sheets. A player signed on a matched offer sheet can't be traded for a year I think.

That would be one epic tandem.

Waiting on the next Hawks fan boy's Bowman-like smoke screen they toss at us.

What smoke screen has Bowman tossed up?

Which is why they'll for sure lose Sharp if that happens.

What's the deal here? Are the Hawks still screwed?

yes

[Hockeytown0001]

yes

Of course not. Their team chemistry is perfectly intact, and the players they lost were replaced adequately, and the Hawks will be just as dangerous if not better this season.

Their "core" is the most solid "core" of all "cores" in the league.
