Just curious to get some opinions on what posters think this team is going to do next season.
Right now as far as I can see it they dug themselves into such a deep hole that they wont be able to ice an entire roster next season unless they trade Kane or Toews.
The way I look at it is the GM's ignored all warning signs that they we're digging themselves into a hole. I remember there were a lot of reports coming out saying they should only resign Kane or Toews but they would handcuff themselves if they signed both. Looks like they ignored it and signed both anyway.
The only contract bright spot on that roster is Hossa.
To me the only way they could bail themselves out of this mess was to package Huet or Campbell with some positive young players. Instead of asking for picks I wouldve just Traded Big Bluff while his stock was high and sent Huet with him.
The Flyers traded away the Gauthier contract with a pick to the Kings who had tons of cap space. I would assume since the Devils can get rid of contracts of players that arent even playing anymore, that someone out there would take an overpaid goalie with some young talent.
I also think they couldve unloaded Campbell with Versteeg if they tried hard enough and put the right package together.
I remember talking to Boss a while back about the Campbell contract and he laughed at it saying thats going to be a cap nightmare...and sure enough it is probably the main contract thats eating up the Hawks.
To imagine what this team would've accomplished if they didnt have Campbell or Huet on their roster? I mean at the very minimum Huet considering he barely even sees ice time.
Would the Blackhawks be able to put Campbell and Huet on waivers? Do they have two-way contracts?
What do you guys think they're going to do? They're already a shell of their formerselves, and I think players are soon going to be jumping ship.
Thats just my opinion.
