They can afford to do that because Ritola is, no matter how you look at it, redundant to this team, they got many promising prospects ready in 2 years or so

I would rather have a promising prospect then a 40 year old on the brink of retiring.

Anyone have the TSN feed streaming?

McGuire making it seem like the Foster deal is the worst deal so far today.

Btw, what sites are you guys checking??

Dont forget the kittens

Kittens must be saved

I must admit I do not know anything about the Stars prospects and this is a new cap world but to me this is a slap in the face to Modano. Let him decide if this is it he has earned that right.

Maybe he would teach some of those young kids some dirty little secrets

In all honestly I don't get this signing. I understand that its Flip's big bro and all but we don't need another playmaker IMO...more of a Drake type or actual scorer. Unless they plan to use him once someone else moves along come 2012 season and if they can afford him by then.

Boy, you guys sure do like talking about the Blackhawks.

I'll admit though, it's interesting hearing you guys try to talk yourself into thinking that the Blackhawks will suck this year.

Since a good number already responded to everything else in your post I'll focus on this part.

Most of us here are hockey fans and love to talk about hockey during the off season no matter who or what its about. This "fire sale" thing is big news in the league as of right now and is pretty much the only thing to talk about if you are not a Blackhawks fan. How the 'Hawks decide to deal with this situation can potential have a mass ripple effect on the rest of the League. Other teams getting stronger, maybe the NHLPA not liking how they see some players getting treated (that's very extreme though), again who knows until after the dust has settled.

This is a very interesting topic for an NHL fan.

EDIT: Also I think its funny you said the bold part. There is another thread on these forums that show people chanting "Detroit sucks"  when the 'Hawks came home. Not even cheering for their team but booing for another team.

Beat me to it

I'll add a Alexei Yashin to that group and raise a Bobby Holik.

Getting back on topic...yeah its just gonna be interesting to see how CHI handles this.

legitimately name me one player in the history of the NHL with a statement of how they are more of a ****** than pronger...

can't think of one?  that's what i thought.  

that's why most of us care if pronger wins the conn smythe, and the cup for that matter.  he is a prick of epic proportions.  i wish that the sens hadn't s*** the bed and beat the ducks when they won the cup.  pronger would be pushing 40 with no cup.

Sean Avery

This is gonna be a ref game. I would of hope they called the game like Pitts game tonight...good refing in that game

Damn...Lidstrom should of covered  Doan better

Its sad to see that in order to get a Selke now a days you have to have some offensive output. What about the guys that can just plan out shut down a top line? I have always viewed the Selke as a role players trophy.
