Clitsome claimed by Winnipeg. Bruins beat reporter says the Bruins are very interested in Oduya.

That, and the Hawks picking up John Erskine. ;)

He's going to either Boston or Chicago in the next couple hours. I say that with about 99% certainty.

Teams have to start lowering their demands soon or nothing is going to happen.

Bob McKenzie said he thinks Derek Roy will be the big name to be moved.

Lots of Roy to Hawks chatter...OH MY GOD

Detroit trades Mike Commodore to the Lightning for..................

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Let's just hope if the hawks get Roy they don't send Toews to pick him up from the airport.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He might even dress a few games w/ TB.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

LOL Toews and Kane to greet him...whole team dies.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

.....for a 7th round pick. Hm.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ouch. Can't wait to see his tweets now.

EDIT: With the reputation of the Wings' scouting organization, that pick will probably turn into their next superstar.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

There supposedly has been a deal on the table between the Caps and Sabres for Roy for a couple of days now. Makes sense why they moved Backstrom to LTIR

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Of course Commie gets moved as I'm walking to lunch. Two ideas of why...1 is Wings freeing up spot for a move that's coming or some have said with Quincey now there they'd rather have Brendan Smith be the #8 guy and get him some playing time. My guess is the latter.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Minnesota Wild trade Nick Schultz to the Edmonton Oilers for Tom Gilbert.

Just, no. Stop.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Rumors Brad Stuart might have been shipped to the Rangers. That's crazy if true and look out for what it could be adding up to for the Wings.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sorry, there has been a deal on the table from the Sabres to the Caps for a couple of days now. I just assumed Roy since Backs went onto LTIR today.

Caps do have a bunch of early draft picks to spare (2 1st rounders and 2 2nd's i believe)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holland just said on TSN that they feel Smith is NHL ready, so good call :thumbsup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's not happening.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow this is boring. Each year it's become slower and slower.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The post-lockout, multi-year contracts have played a part in that, me thinks.

Also, talks still revolving around Oduya. I think he might be an ok fit on the Hawks blueline. Still doesn't address their offensive issues though. David Jones of the Avs is being mentioned in certain circles, but he's not a pivot, which the Hawks need.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That and the 3 point game. It's kept teams bunched togehter and so keeps teams in the playoff race who in the past wouldn't have been so they aren't selling.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

^ True. I'll also throw in the parity the league is experiencing. Teams are less likely to sell off assets if they have a chance at the playoffs.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Am I the only one that can't understand why Carolina tried to extend every player that had trade value instead of trading them for assets and draft picks? Seems odd for a last place team to try to re-sign all their players like that.
