CWSGuy406 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hot rumor flying around that Adrian Aucoin is going to be traded in a salary dump to the Flames for nothing of note. If Tallon gets Aucoin AND Cullimore off the books in the same week -- wow. That'd be so f***ing great. The only link I have is to Calgary's HF Boards. http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=391739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) The only realistic name I've seen (coming the Hawks way) is Eric Godard, who would be absolutely PERFECT. He's an enforcer, a guy that the Hawks really need with Havlat, Samsonov, Toews and most likely Kane skating around next season. I should say, though, that even if Tallon only gets a bag of pucks in return, it's still a great deal. BTW, here's the video of where the rumor is coming from -- it's not a done deal yet, but the Canadian analyst expects it to get done. http://broadband.tsn.ca/tsn/?id=348&vid=8862 Edited June 22, 2007 by CWSGuy406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I couldn't care less who Tallon could get for AA, I will jump for joy if he can get rid of Cullimore and Aucion....that would be a big win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 IT'S A DEAL!!!!!!! And since I'm in a good, excited rumor mood, there's rumors going around about the Hawks dealing the first overall. Who would Buffalo be sending? Thomas Vanek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) That 11 game plan is starting to look a lot better..... Hawks get Kane tomorrow, then go out and get a #1 center, this off-season could not have gone better. Hell yeah it is. Now the issue would just be balancing school and the Hawks. I really don't want to see them trade this pick, I'm hoping for Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Apparently a Calgary radio station is reporting the Hawks will get Rhett Warrener, a 31 year old oft-injured defenseman. The Hawks are also said to be including a 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 04:39 AM) Don' like the 2nd round pick. Also, how much does Warrener make? I read two years, $2.5 million (per season). So the Hawks save $1.5 million per year. Yeah, I don't like including the 2nd either, but it is a weak draft. The Calgary fans I'm reading think Warrener is pretty much toast, so if he is, I don't know why it wouldn't it be just a straight up deal...? By the way, I should note that none of this is official yet, especially the stuff in this post. Hell the deal isn't even official yet -- they've agreed on terms and Aucoin will waive his NTC, but I believe Aucoin still has to pass a physical (fingers crossed). But yeah, Warrener isn't 'for sure' yet. Edited June 22, 2007 by CWSGuy406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 01:07 AM) No way do I make that deal. JVR, Kane and Turris have separated themselves as the best of the bunch, and at this point, the Hawks need quality, not quantity. Kane is the consensus best offensive player -- let's hope he's donning the Indianhead in a little over 24 hours. I don't know. My thinking was, if you could get Cherpanov at #6, even if he stays in Russia for a couple of seasons, you can use the money that you would use to sign Kane on a top 6 forward FA on a short - term deal. I also think Esposito will be a real good one, and for whatever reason he just had a down season. What I guess I'm trying to say is yeah Kane will be good, but he's not a surefire #1, so if the oppurtunity is there, the Hawks could end up with some real more quality prospects especially at forward. EDIT: On Warrener, he's a real defensive D-Man, good hitter but not very good offensively. Will be annoyed if we give up a 2nd rounder though, although getting rid of Aucoin is a godsend.

DBAHO Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It's not Warriner, it's Zyuzin. We save $2.55M this season, and $4M next season, and don't give up a pick. I it. Sources tell TSN that Chicago defenceman Adrian Aucoin has agreed to waive his no trade clause to permit a deal that would send him to the Calgary Flames. In exchange, the Flames will send defenseman Andrei Zyuzin to the Blackhawks. Sources say the paperwork and formal approval of the transaction will be completed on Friday. The deal, therefore, cannot be deemed official until then. But Aucoin is prepared, the sources said, to be a Flame and the Blackhawks and Flames have agreed on the terms. The Flames were in the market for a defenceman and zeroed in on Aucoin, who has a history with new Calgary coach Mike Keenan. In 1998-99, Aucoin scored 18 of his 23 goals on the powerplay for Keenan's Vancouver Canucks. At $4 million a season, Aucoin carries a price tag the Blackhawks were looking to shed. Zyuzin, who was signed by Calgary as a free agent last July, is scheduled to make $1.45-million next season. Last season, Aucoin had trouble with a groin injury and played only 59 games for the Blackhawks. He scored four goals and 12 assists for 16 points. he was a -22 on the season. The year before that, Aucoin only played 33 games, scoring one goal and five assists. In 694 NHL games, Aucoin has 88 goals and 179 assists for 267 points and a +15 rating. In 49 games last season, Zyuzin had 1 goal and 6 points. He missed 14 of 16 games in December and January with a knee and groin injury and was a healthy scratch for 12 games late in the season. This has Mike Keenan written all over it. Tallon has basically traded Aucoin, Cullimore and Salmelainen for Zyuzin and Samsonov, and we've saved about 2.5M-3M for the upcoming season (if I calculated that right).

Handzus ain't coming back. He wants 4 years $16M and Tallon said he's not going to get that from the Hawks. Philly and St. Louis are both interested in him apparently. So I wonder how we are cap wise now. I imagine we've got quite a bit of wiggle room now. It's actually an exciting time to follow this team again.

There's no Russian transfer fee agreement in place at this time, IIRC. It would be ludacris for the Hawks to even think about Cherepanov if there is no transfer agreement between their league and the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played four years of junior hockey for Medicine Hat in the Western Hockey League before signing as a free agent with Calgary in August of 2005. Adrian Aucoin was signed by the Blackhawks as a free agent on August 2, 2005. He has played two seasons in Chicago appearing in 92 games and scoring 5 goals to go along with 17 assists for 22 points with 88 penalty minutes. In his first season with the Blackhawks, 2005-06, Aucoin appeared in just 33 games. His season was shortened by a groin injury which sidelined him for 18 games and a dislocated shoulder which required surgery and sidelined him for 31 games. Last season, injuries kept him out of the lineup for 21 games. In his NHL career, Aucoin has appeared in 694 games scoring 88 goals while adding 179 assists for 267 points and 544 penalty minutes. He has also appeared in 27 career playoff games scoring four goals while adding seven assists for 11 points with 16 penalty minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
