Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

[Rumsfeld]

That pretty much eliminates Chicago as a trading partner. No first, no second.

Rumours swirling Hawks are still in on Hamhuis, and that the deal could be done pending NTC being waived.

If that's the case we won't be seeing Hammer in uniform tonight.

[Lancer]

Chicago's shot their bolt. They have nothing left to offer - especially for Hamhuis. Benning will have to look for another trade partner.

For all the talk of Chicago scouting Vrbata, now that they've traded for Ladd I wonder what the market looks like for Vrbata now? Gotta admit I'm not as optimistic on what return Benning could get for him now.

Chicago is all in for it now. They better cash in on cups now and the next couple of years because it will take amazing draft luck for them to get enough prospects from later picks to keep the momentum going.

...or they can just sign kids from the KHL and put them on the big squad right away.

hawks had no room for Vrbata anyways in their deep roster.

I say Dallas swoops in with a decent offer for Hammer.

Yeah they've gotten three Cups and counting out of this core, I think they'll be able to look back without too much regret.

Oilers scratched Purcell tonight. Deal likely on the way.

That's even more than Sbisa got.

I'm looking forward to a year from now (or two) when you start quoting your sarcastic comments as evidence of your foresight!

(only because I'm really hoping to see things work out)

He's better than that and besides, I think he would be happy to eat crow if he ends up being wrong - or his hatred of Benning outweighs his love for the team.

[Topper]

He'll find something else to hate.

[Island Nucklehead]

Jared Cowen on waivers.

[Blob Mckenzie]

He'll find something else to hate.

I no longer hate Benning.

ELMER IS A GIFTED HOCKEY EXECUTIVE.

Blob, we get it. Take a time out.
