Bolland sure, but there's no way the Blackhawks are gonna break up Keith and Seabrook.

their ideal situation is they move huet and/ or campbell (but who wants a goalie who got beat out by a rookie and everyone knows go over his glove to score. or a defenseman who was an all star on one team, but a 3rd line pairing on another, especially for the money campbell is making. though as i say that florida or dallas would be who i'd throw campbell at, see if they bite). They will probably try to get a kings ransom for sharp and or bolland but may eventually have to settle if the time runs short on them and most teams are smart enough to realize that and will let chicago sit hot and see if the price comes down near the beginning of the season, not what the fans want but would be the smarter move, for a team like us say looking at Patrick sharp.

and it is official that the hawks are matching the offer sheet. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=534226. at least that is what the NHl is reporting.

Just for the record, there are five teams below the cap floor of $43.4M - NYI, COL, ATL, STL, and TBL.

I don't see St. Louis taking on Campbell due to the massive problems they're going to have with 16 players (NHL and AHL) hitting free agency, I can't see Stevie Y. getting saddled with that massive contract as he rebuilds the Bolts as he sees fit, but I can see the other three doing it. Atlanta would be a fitting destination as they've recently become Chicago's trash heap, but Colorado and the Islanders are both the closest to having a full team (20 signed players on the NHL roster) and are two of the three lowest-spending teams.

Understatement/overstatement, your thoughts??

Maybe they meant to say top 3 defender on the Blackhawks. I'm even suspicious of that claim.
