Mr. Showtime Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Stars official site says they've re-inked Modano to a 5 yr deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas might regret the last two years of that deal, especially if he's making five million. With the new salary cap, it's going to be hard to dump a 38 year old with another year left on his deal -- which might happen to the Stars.

If he is producing the way he did last season they can have him at that price. I just hope we get some offensive support pretty soon.

CWSGuy406 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 So -- the Hawks, reportedly, offered more money than Philly did to Forsberg. That's kind of dissappointing, but good at the same time. Good to know that Tallon was given permission to offer the (or close to it) max to someone. But, until we actually prove that we can win -- there's going to be a small percentage of the best players who won't come here. Ah, well. They need to get an answer from Khabibulin, quick, 'cause all of the top-line forwards are being snatched up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something over at BHZ that said Khabi might take "weeks" to decide where he wants to play. I hope he isn't dragging his feet and using the Hawks to get higher bidders. Maybe he and guys like Neidameyer are just waiting to see how the pieces settle and see what the price range for their talent will be.

DBAHO Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hawks really need to get out there and get a top 6 forward. It won't be Kovalev which will please a lot of you, he re-upped with Montreal. The market's thinning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The whole Modano fiasco was something else. I KNOW he had a better offer from Chicago and Boston both then Dallas gave him. And his f***ing wonderboy agent had to step in and be an asshole, trying to get the Stars to pay more. The deal Modano signed is front end loaded and he will make less, much less, years 4 and 5. Also, he got a signing bonus for signing today payable years 4 and 5 that won't count against the cap should he retire. Having said all this, the Hawks have to land someone bigger tomorrow, the market is starting to thin out. There's a couple of sniper wingers left, but they really needed a top flight centre, IMO.

Thought they we're gonna land Modano and let some good players go by. And they need to rebound, with the big guns in Forsberg and Naslund in the forwards off the market. Not many #1 centers left at all on the top of my head, Jason Allison's one when healthy, but he's probably going to ink in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I really hope the Hawks get Khabibulin. It would be a nice job by Tallon to get this organization back on track. They have some good young offensive players who should really step up this year and some younger defensive players who really could do anything: suck or be solid this year.

DBAHO Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 So Keith or Tony, fill me in here, is Ruutu currently slated to start the year at center or as a LW? Because here's some lineup scenarios at the moment with the top 6 forwards. Either way, Arny shouldn't start the year as the #1 center. 1 - Daze - Ruutu - Bell 2 - Calder - Arnason - ??? 1 - Ruutu - ??? - Calder 2 - Daze - Arnason - Bell Oh and the Modano deal includes a No - Trade Clause. That maybe could have been the holdup, besides the extra money his agent wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
