Southwest Sider Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) Boston has 13th, 14th and 15th picks now. They can move up to #3 or they can give out of those to us for Sharp. I still can't believe they traded Hamilton for that. Calgary's top 4 is very, very good now. And apparently now they're after Sharpie. Shawn Hutcheon @ShawnHutcheon Just told by a league scout #NHLBruins are pursuing Patrick Sharp from #NHLBlackhawks.

So nothing hawk related happened? man, i really thought that there were going to be a lot of exciting news coming from the hawks camp. i really hope the sox are not asking for a huge rtn of there players. on the other note, i remembered that this draft was deep in talent. just maybe the activity will happen after the draft. either way, bickell - i would be happy for a rtn of vouchers at a concession stand sharp - 1 rn next yr, steeger - a 4 and 5 rounder.

soxfan49 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm pretty surprised they didn't make ONE trade during the draft. I thought they'd definitely trade at least one of the following- Versteeg, Sharp, Bickell- for an extra pick or two since they didn't have a 1st.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Antti Raanta traded to the Rangers for F Ryan Haggerty. I liked Raanta but it was obvious Darling had supplanted him. I wonder who takes the #3 goalie spot now, because you never survive a full season with only 2 goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much guarantees Crawford will not be traded. The chances of him being traded were slim to begin with, but this shuts that door completely IMO. But ya, no real obvious #3 goalie candidate.

LDF Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 well so much of hoping that Bickell will be traded and off the books from the hawks salary stand point. Coyotes Send Gagner to Flyers for Grossmann and Pronger, the interesting thing here, is it was Pronger contract that was moved. http://www.mynhltraderumors.com/2015/06/27...nn-and-pronger/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya, no real obvious #3 goalie candidate. there is a slim chance that it Antti Niemi gets signed as a fa and then the hawks can trade crawford. the age difference between the 2 if only 1 yr and that is Niemi is older by 1 yr. for me, stat wise, he is still a very good goalie.

Jake Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Raanta trade is a bit of a head scratcher to me. I, for one, liked him and still see him as a potential #1 on a good team. I'm not against trading him in general, but the return makes it look like a salary dump even though the kid wasn't making any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it almost seems like they were trying to do Raanta a favor. "We like you, but there is no room for you in the NHL. We will help you out and trade you to a team with an open backup spot" That seems to make the most sense, it didn't help the salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 01:26 AM) The one "fault" you can really put on the Hawks is giving away talent that didn't seem to be given a chance, or sold very low. Pirri, Hayes, Morin, and I agree that I thought if Raanta was given a shot, he had something. But, I guess that is what happens when the NHL roster is tough to crack. the trade of Raanta was imo, a necessary one. i am in the thinking that this was probably the best time. however asking for a rtn was going to be a problem. yeah, i think it was a salary dump. thing is, some one mention how Tallon was doing the same thing and he was not a competent gm. ref to my wish of the hawks signing a goalie Antti Niemi and trading crawford. yeah i know it was a pipe dream. but it would be a nice way around the cap.

ShandyMan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 What else are you going to get for a goalie that spent a large portion of the season in the minors? I wanted him to stay, but you're not going to get much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 09:37 AM) It wasn't actually a salary dump, he will be making 800K next year. That wasn't the reason. Someone mentioned it before, I think this was more of a "favor" move for Raanta, he signed here a few years ago, I'm sure was promised a shot, and it didn't happen. If there isn't room, give the kid a chance to play somewhere else. Given what has transpired, I think that's a respectable move from the front office, but obviously there are bigger issues to now address. i agree. this was a necessary pick. it is a win-win situation. the hawks doesn't get a black eye for the way they handle him, remember he is popular in his country and nice was to keep the good will. second, a player, if develop right, may be serviceable. i just hope with a successful coach and a org can emphasis some positive coaching tips. this is the best in this situation.
