EvilJester99 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I don't mind the Ruutu deal....Ladd is an upgrade offensively but it makes the team a bit softer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 11:06 AM) Looks like Ruutu is going to Carolina for Ladd Ladd seems promising enough (young guy, big kid), but doesn't this trade seem to be at best a lateral move? The Hawks need defensemen more than forwards, and Ladd will probably have the same production as Ruutu playing on the 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) I think Ladd will be easier to resign than Ruutu would have been...I think all in all thats why this deal was made. Bad thing is it appears Ladd is very injury prone though. Edited February 26, 2008 by EvilJester99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is that I keep thinking of these deals in terms of on-ice results alone. I always overlook the contract/salary cap/free agency side of things.

EvilJester99 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Rumor going now is Williams to Nashville...this trade would make me ill. I think Williams should be resigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 What a f***ing pointless deal. Good thing we have patience in our young players. Skille best be a PPG player or else he'll be viewed as a failure and will be shipped out. Cripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Lang is part of a deal to acquire someone the Hawks actually need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Yeah but Wade Belak got a 5th rounder from FLA (so top of round)...Lapointe should have gotten more than a 6th in my book. Only thing is Belak's contract isn't as bad but still....Hopefully this opens a permanent spot for Skille to come back.

Harry Chappas Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I thought the Hawks were going for the cup. I believe this season is over but why trade away guys for crap. Ruutu and Williams should have been resigned or traded for soemthing and while Lapointe is useless so is a 6th round pick as comapred to the hope that maybe something could still happen this year while not likely at least keep them together. Why just give players away? I guess some things never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS HAVE DEALT DEFENSEMAN ADAM FOOTE TO THE COLORADO AVALANCHE FOR A CONDITIONAL FIRST ROUND PICK IN 2008 AND 2009 DEPENDING ON IF THE AVS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON.

Harry Chappas Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sounds like Ladd can score in the slot which is what this team desperatly needs. If he can camp in fron of the net and do some dirty work then this could be a really good move. Of course he could end up on a line with Adams and Eager and really see what he is made of.

So Tallon should've given up all that for three months of a vain attempt at the playoffs? That's fine that Pittsburg did that. Let them resign Hossa to the money he's going to ask for (and get from someone) too. There's no way they'll be able to keep all of that talent -- Staal, Malkin and Crosby. You're looking at four guys who -- when they start talking about extensions -- could ask for close to $40 million annually. Staal can't be a long-term fixture there. ---------------- On the other hand, I would've done backflips if the Hawks could've gotten Kessel for Havlat and others. That also would've been a marketing dream for McDonough -- Kessel and Kane, two of America's own best and brightest, playing side-by-side. Damn -- Kessel hasn't been very good this year. I wonder why -- only 30 points this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 what a bummer so far .. I was hoping to come home to Jordan Staal talk of how great he will be on the hawks. I am not surprised the Pens were able to get Hossa. If anyone reads my posts they were not high on Christensen. Armstrong is bit of a surprise to give up, but its what they had to give. Crosby is already making 6.8 or some figure, and Malkin is going to want 10 mil if he wins an award this season(so I hear). Staal needs to be a hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
