8 year extensions for Kane and Toews. $10.5 mil aav each.

I guess the Hawks found that cash that no other team can match...

/Edit: Damn you Cobie, you're too fast (lol)

Yeahhhhhh, have fun with that in a few years.

Yeahhhhhh, have fun with that in a few years.

We will, gladly

I don't get it, they've barely had success with these 2...

8 @ 10.5? Yeeesh.

I only say that because Johansen's agent is using the name Toews a lot in discussions. Johnny T earned it. Kaner too.

It'll be a back breaker in a few years, but now...

I imagine Hossa is all but gone now. Weren't the Hawks close to the cap already?

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

They are definitely going to need to hope for a healthy bump in the cap going forward to make that work.

 

[pixburgher66]

We will, gladly

It's the way the league is trending, but I highly doubt both these guys stay in town with those deals. They'll need a BIG jump in the cap. They've done well in developing some of these young guys on entry level deals, and they'll need more of that too.

I'm scared that Vancouver might make a pitch to land Marian Hossa...

Pretty sure we were over the cap before these two signed.

Toews will be a Hawk for life, Kane on the other hand, could be the one dealt down the road.

I just looked and capgeek has them 2.2 over. Hossa is @ 5.75.

Boll makes 3/yr, so an even up swap of Hossa and Boll puts them at the cap. I am willing to help you out, Chicago. Call me.

Edit: Capgeek is without the Kane/Toews deal. That adds 8m. I guess I'll have to take Seabrook and Bickell too. I will give back Savard (1m) and Calvert (1m)

BURROWS FOR HOSSA

Hossa surprisingly doesn't have a NMC/NTC on his deal either.

dont forget, they are entering their final year at 6.3. This money starts after this upcoming season, not this season. Their cap money entering 2015-2016 is 50.785 million, thats with Hoss and Sharp. They will get hurt on the blue line, with Leddy and Oduya being UFA, but its time for Bowman to trust the system and stop going out to get the veterans. They gave up on Stanton, Olsen, Pirri, Hayes last season. They cant afford to do that anymore.

If Teuvo, McNeil, Clendening and the swedes they signed make it, the cap wont be an issue, its just how they continue to go about it.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

This puts Chicago at almost $66 million for 2015-16. Yikes.

lol - It's Marian Hossa, not Marcel Hossa.

Dont forget, that cap is suited up players, not total. I highly doubt Versteeg and Richards will be on the ice at the same time.

That's without the new deals for either player though and - according to CapGeek - would only give them 15 players under contract and already over $70M in cap hit.
