Bad trade for the Hawks, but Dano + Anisimov is still better than what BOS got for Dougie.

Saad with ryjo

Bieksa to the Ducks for a 2nd.

Not sure if I like Dano better on Chicago or Columbus. It seems like all my players are moving teams though lol.

Gordon for Korpikoski

Richards had Oxy at the Canadian border. To me that's not a serious enough offence to terminate a contract and it's way too convenient that they were trying to buy him out. Much worse has been done by players without their contracts being terminated and this sets a dangerous precedent.

Whatever happens to Richards legally we've probably seen the last of his NHL days. Not sure someone woukd invest in him. Even short term.

I was really digging the hartnell, wennberg, dano line, but I can't complain if they go with Saad beside wennberg either.

Is anyone else perplexed by this deal?

Lindholm - Beachumin
Fowler - Despres
Vatanen - Stoner

With Theodore & Mason waiting in the wings.

A 2nd seems like a lot to give up for a 34 year old who has slowed down a lot recently, especially when you already have a ton of depth at the position. Maybe they are just looking for more grit during the playoffs? A 2nd for a guy who will likely be their 6th/7th d-man.

They must be looking to move one of their other guys.

Beauchemin is UFA

Yeah Beauchemin talks broke down this morning. They then moved on this deal.

Handsome&FairMike wroteCOLONIs he that much better defensively? Think they are both pilon's personally. Much rather pick up a guy like bartkowski at the prices that are being bandied about.

Yes he is infinitely better than Mike Green lol! Green doesn't know the meaning of the word defense.

Hawks philosophy is simple...surrounding Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook with cap efficient players via the draft or free agency.

That being said, Hossa/Sharp should have been moved first.

Jones 3 yrs @ 3 million

expensive deal for the Hawks on Anisimov starting on 2016/17... will get traded again next Summer?
