I was doing a review of Chicago's cap situation for next season, and it's absurd. They're already on the hook for $57.56M already, and that's with the following players either RFA or UFA. RFA: Ladd Eager Fraser Hjalmarsson Hendry Niemi UFA: Madden Burish Johnsson Boynton The way I see it, they HAVE TO trade off a couple of contracts (Kane or Toews? Toews or Kane? Byfuglien? Huet somehow?) in order to think about signing Niemi and fielding a full roster next season. I hope the younger Bowman is up to the challenge. |

I'm sure all GM's are hoping for a good deal with a desperate Chicago. I think Chicago might keep Toews over Kane. He's the captain and in my opinion more valuable to the team. They have 3 contracts that will really hurt them over the next years: Campbell, Huet, Hossa...The question will be, are there any takers for them. |

Yea, those three are killers. Unfortunately, not one of those is really movable. Expect Byfuglien and Sharp dished out, and maybe Kane for something huge in return. |

If they were to move Kane, I would imagine they would look for a lot of draft picks, because they can't really get a big name/highly paid player unless they want to stay in this same situation. |

I'd think that, honestly, if Bowman wants to move Kane, he's going to ask for Edmonton's #1 draft pick. |

I think moving Kane will be the worst case scenario for Chicago. If they can ship off Campbell and Hossa they're fine. They are good players with a bad contract, maybe if they add some picks or prospects they are movable. Huet is a different story, attach some nice tits and send him to the CWHL |

But yea, in order to get rid of the Hossa or Campbell contracts, they're really going to have to sweeten the deal. I definitely agree that Kane being moved is a worst case scenario for them. |

I was just thinking of an ultimate checking line. |

I like to think about Patrick Sharp being sent over. He's a center, and a damned fine hockey player. Dishing out Roy and Connolly to clear cap space for a true number one center would make acquiring Sharp a very good idea. |

Hmm, Sharp is making $4.1M next season and $4.2M after that. I don't actually know how much I like that...no wonder Chicago is probably going to try and dump him off. |

Another guy to watch for is Bolland, he's making 3.725 million and he would be a pretty good to look at |

Buffy may get a huge raise coming up though if he keeps his game at the insane level it is right now in the playoffs. He's been great. |

He's due for a big raise if the Blackhawks keep him, as he goes into restricted free agency in the summer of 2011. |
