Crapper John 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone heard the rumor of the Wings working on a trade to acquire Patrick Sharp? One of my Chicago work buddies sent this across IM. He's pretty active in the twitto-sphere, so was wondering if this has gotten across the Lake yet... and, if so, any validity to it. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a few articles I found from June 20, that's about it, and it was just speculation. I doubt they go for sharp after they got Richards though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsAlways 486 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 The piece I read said Chicago had an insane asking price, something along the lines of a roster player, top prospect, and 1st round pick? Plus a 5.9m cap hit over the next two years. I don't see it happening unless Franzen is gone for good and Nyquist is involved in the trade. We would be putting ourselves in the exact situation Chicago is in cap wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 Sharp is trending downwards quickly and will cost an arm and a leg. I would pass and Im sure Holland is smart enough to do that as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 High cap hit, declining, and the Hawks are looking for actual decent players in return instead of a salary dump. Pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
