Whining Hawk Fans
- Thread starter greasy
- Start date
im so sick of hearing it from the casuals crying. but then again, alot of them just started watching hockey when the playoffs started im sure so they dont understand the sport or how a salary cap works.everyone does seem to forget we just won the stanley cup...... that isnt exactly something that happens on a regular basis for most nhl teams. losing 8 or so players, most of which wont have a huge impact at all in the end wont cause any long term issues. i for one am happy to see some of the young players they are bringing up for this season cause i want to see how they perform.
Modano will sign with Detoilet, reported today.

Theres only one shitty baseball team though. Last Time I looked the Sox were in first.
And the Bulls made the playoffs last year, and will be even better this year.
i dont expect him to do nearly as well without the hawks D in front of him. gotta remember the hawks were always near the top in shots on goal and always near the bottom on shots against. their D really made alot less work for the goalie in alot of games throughout the season and playoffs. we shall soon see though.
and agreed when it comes to ladd. hes really the only person i woulda liked to have kept. versteeg woulda been nice to see stay just cause id like to see him turn into the player he could be... the one who doesnt get overly fancy with the puck and turn it over at bad times. once he learns to be smarter with the puck, he will become a very good player. shame we will likely miss that
you guys listen to the score at all ?? lots of hawk talk this morning on mulley and hanley
tim sassone from the daily herald and another guy named tim from a dallas paper....both seem to have confidence in Marty....

the nhl's cap is pretty rough, even if they bought out his contract / send him down to the minors, his cap comes off the books, even with this, they were still right up against the cap.
they have to leave a little wiggle room in case they have to call someone up from the minors.
if they have 59 mil even on the cap and have to bring up a guy who makes 200K more than the injured player..... then the hawks cap is actually now 59.2 mil
so they cant go over 59.4 - at any point during the season

All of the cap figurings and signings so far have been done with Huet's salary "off the books" essentially.
Officially, they have yet to move him, but his $5.6million is already an afterthought for the cap this year. He will be in the AHL or bought out and sent to Europe. Either way, he WON'T be on the roster this year. We got a 10 year veteran, 3 time all star for $1 million....we could NEVER justify paying a 2nd year tender, or a backup guy with mediocre talent $2.75million or $6 million respectively.
May not be able to run away with the Cup this year, but we will still be heavy contenders. I have a feeling Turco with our D in front of him is going to be THE SHIT. Also, to have a goalie that can actually play the puck and get it moving to our guys even faster...Going to be seeing LOTS more breakaways and odd man rushes this year me thinks.
thats what im most interested in and like about turco, hes puck moving ability. he can toss that puck up the wings with the best of them and turn nothing into a odd man rush like that. just gotta be sure he doesnt do some of the stupid moves he had in dallas from time to time last few years. he coughed up the puck a few times that really burned him.
