Im excited to see what Tallon can pull off today. With reports that Brian Campbell is being offered over $8 mil for five years, I would hate to see the Hawks go for him and end up in another Khabi contract that they cant move. |

I do not want them to over spend on any one player, especially when they are going to have to pay Toews and Kane in the coming years. The price that J-M Liles went for would have been ideal. I'd still like to see if Dale can either swing a trade for Francois Beachemin given the Ducks' cap constraints, or poach Jay Bouwmeester out of the RFA market from Florida. I'm not entirely sold on Campbell; he's cut from the same mold as Duncan Keith, with more offensive upside, but more of a liability in his own end, and that does not equate to the $7-8 million he's allegedly commanding. Same goes for perennial playoff under-achiever Wade Redden, however Redden has more size and sandpaper to his game. Brian Rolston would also be a fantastic pickup, again if they can get him for about $4 mildo. It will be interesting to see how the dominoes of Campbell, Redden, Hossa, and Sundin fall. |

Should be very interesting. Rolston and Hossa would both look great in the Hawks jersey next year. |

I agree but I think Hossa would fit in nicely with Kane and Toews |

The rich get richer. Hossa signed with the Wings. http://www.tsn.ca/ |

So is this a good move for the Hawks? if any of you are score listeners, call up B & B and try to have an intelligent hockey conversation...it'll be the best radio in a long time.... |

I've actually talked hockey with Abbattacola on air before, and despite all of his bluster about hating hockey, Bernstein actually knows the game itself well, if not the players. |
