Just make the deal and clear the space.Apparently the offer for Sharp is an NHL ready dman and a prospect.Only two teams with any interest in Sharp. No takers for Bickell.
Watching online. Huge crowd.Sabres should have 15,000 people for the prospects game tonight.

Trevor Daley Contract Information:
Signed a six-year, $19.8 million contract extension with the Stars in December 2010
Unless Stan uses these pieces for other moves it's a bad trade by Stan. 800k in cap savings and you lose arguably the Hawks best D prospect in Rockford. Not liking this at all right now.WowDallas Stars @DallasStars 2m

Don't know if the Hawks can re-sign Oduya with Daley's contract.

Trade Sharp for ####### nothing. Hawks need the cap, that's it. And Stan couldn't do it. I'm sure Sharp could have gotten a pick/prospect somewhere he would have gone. Now unless Stan loses more cap no way Oduya stays.Dallas took all of Sharp's salary because they included Johns.Unless Stan uses these pieces for other moves it's a bad trade by Stan. 800k in cap savings and you lose arguably the Hawks best D prospect in Rockford.

Greetings from the cottage: Stars retained 50 percent of Garbutt cap hit/salary so Hawks get him at 900k. Huge key to the Sharp trade...

Hawks needed to clear space not add 3.9M in salary. Savings of what ~2M? Not enough unfortunately. And they trade Sharp and Johns within the division. Hope there are other dominoes to fall.Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 3m

I wouldn't say big, it's potential at this point. Losing a prospect like that is tough but not as huge as losing Oduya, Kruger or Seabrook. If they wind up not being able to sign Oduya and Kruger it's a terrible trade. Just trade Sharp for a prospect or a pick FFS, no need to do anything but get cap space.the johns loss is big :(

Yeah the Hawks move is prettyso they went from asking the farm to just giving Sharp away. gave up an okay prospect too. brilliant.
wtf is Dallas doing trading for more scoring though? I can't imagine they enter the season without trading for another D man.
unless it's the first in a series of moves to shed more Cap, but with losing Johns they need to find another D.Boston?Yeah the Hawks move is prettyso they went from asking the farm to just giving Sharp away. gave up an okay prospect too. brilliant.

Stan isn't going to move a guy he traded for that has 50% salary retained by the original team. Daley is the likely candidate if either move IMO.Boston?Yeah the Hawks move is prettyso they went from asking the farm to just giving Sharp away. gave up an okay prospect too. brilliant.

Who was in net for Ottawa?NHL Network is showing an Ottawa @ Buffalo game right now as a "Vintage Game"... can I get a heads up as to what makes this a vintage game? The program guide has no info.

not sure there's been any great games with Ottawa since the line brawl in 2007.I didn't stay up. It was a fairly recent game judging by the rosters and Miller was in net.
isn't crashing into a hortons punishable by death in Canada?ROR sure celebrated his new deal in a smart way.

I don't see how the Blackhawks - even with the assumption they dump Bickell's $4M - can sign Oduya and Kruger.Andy Strickland @andystrickland
Johnny Oduya already turned down a 3 yr, $15 million offer form #Sabres several days ago. No doubt Buffalo in position to offer most money
If they traded Sharp for A pick or A prospect they could have. He was willing to sign for less in Chicago and was waiting for them to clear space. Sounds like Dallas is making a big offer as well.

Sounded like they had deals ready to sign once Bowman cleared space. I don't understand why he made that move. Daley sucks and isn't a good fit for the Hawks D IMO.Aaron Rudnicki said:Pretty nice move for Dallas if they shipped out Daley for Sharp/Johns and then sign Oduya as well.
Not sure why Bowman made that move really unless he knew they couldn't fit Oduya in given what other teams are offering him.
Well that's really what has happened according to rumors. I just don't understand why Bowman would want anything other than cap space for Sharp.Pretty lame if Oduya plays the loyal soldier, patiently waiting for Chicago and then they turn around and bring in Daley as his replacement.
