Bill Bergen for HoF!
Letting Hauschka walk was probably the stupidest thing this franchise has ever done. It cost them playoffs last year, and nearly cost it this year.
I understand the whole thing about last year - but why did it nearly cost them this year? Seabass may not be impressive this season, but he hasn't cost the Hawks any games and they've clinched a playoff berth with a week left in the season.
Besides, Hauschka hasn't been all that much better than Janikowski this season (81.5% vs. 80% on FG, 95% to 93.8% on PATs). Also, he missed 10 PATs his last two seasons here - so there's no way of telling that the change in scenery isn't what helped contribute to his stellar season last year.
