Metz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Speculation: Hossa to EDM that would suck, him and cole would make quite a winger pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 3:40pm ET - Sorry for the big gap, things are a little hectic around here. Chicago, Ottawa and Atlanta are among the teams pushing hard to get Brian Campbell... Hossa camp being very hush-hush right now. 4:22pm ET - Word is Hawks close to trading Nikolai Khabibulin to Kings, meanwhile Kings already got Denis Gauthier from Philly. I'm thinking its for one of their forwards maybe? Edmonon offered Hossa $9M a season IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) I'd like this deal with the Kings done. Agreed. To have almost $13 million rapped up in goalies would be a bad way to start for the "new look" Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) No Yes I understand that is a boat load of money, but Tallon wants to win. Sure, we could go after Redden but by the rumors, we haven't even talked to him. Plus, Redden is more of a defensive defenseman, while we need more help offensively on the PP. At least now stud FAs are considering us. Now, if ATL kicks it up to 9 per, then I will not want us to match that- that is insane.

whitesoxbrian Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) It's eight and a half million dollars, and you are ok with that, but if Tallon adds 500,000 to the deal, he is insane? Interesting...... Because if it gets up to 9, you know ATL would kick it back up to 9.5, and so on. They are desperate. I'd like to think DT has enough sense to end that bidding war and make a push for Redden at 5-5.5 per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't really want Campbell at 8.5. Obviously Hossa's out if he's getting 12 per (which is f***ing ridiculous). Give me Roszival or someone else, Campbell's not worth that type of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to make a splash, but they have to stay reasonable. We have extensions for Kane and Toews to worry about down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeybuzz is where that came from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 http://worldsportsnet.blogspot.com/ Hawks close to trading Nikolai Khabibulin to Kings. Edmonton is close to sign Marian Hossa to deal worth up to 7-10 millions per year. STAY TUNED for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I seen this and laughed but how true is this? If only the other GMs would think this way. A GM said to TSN just mins ago (unamed) this market is just to rich for me. I'm going home. This is insane. The money being thrown around is insane!"

whitesoxbrian Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 5:15pm ET - Detroit, Rangers, Oilers, Habs, Bruins, Canucks among teams interested in Hossa. TFP Looks like we're out of that running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Redden to Dallas? Berger just said on Fan590 again that Dallas is the front runner with a 5 year deal. Redden wants a 6 year deal, but he has already spoken with Turco. If this happens Boucher is all but gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
