The fact that Stan Bowman essentially held the line on means the only complaint anyone can have is that they have a goalie who is signed until he's 35 or a defenseman who is signed until he's 32.
My only question would be on how Hossa's contract fits into this.  There are some cap effects that happen if he retires / quits before the end of his contract that I don't fully understand other than that the costs are high.  It certainly appears that Hjalmarsson's contract being low helps cushion the (probable) Hossa costs.  Scott and Stan know what they are doing.

Don't Worry they have goal machine known as Brandon Bollig to replace him. 

The quick & dirty way to circumvent the salary cap with Hossa is to just place him on Long Term Injured Reserve once training camp opens, that way his salary doesn't count against the Cap. He just can't officially retire until his contract runs out. This is what Philadelphia is doing with Chris Pronger and what Boston is doing with Marc Savard.

So is Hossa glue then? Fuck.

I'm pretty sure Slak already has a Bollig sweater on order.

Kneel before Saad.

I hear the Islanders are VERY interested in trading for him.

He's due to get his new paper the same time as Kane and Toews. He'll cost a tad more than his current $764K.

Was re-reading bits of last season's Hawks thread and was reminded of this question...

Obviously this getting ahead of things a bit, particularly considering the Conference Final and potential Cup Final competition, but...

If the Hawks were to go on to win the 2013 Stanley Cup, Game 7 would overtake Game 5 in the annals of Blackhawk lore, right?

Well, right up until the Hawks scored twice in 17 seconds to beat the Bruins in Game 6, I'd have said yes.

I don't think Game 5 was ahead of Kane's OT winner in Game 6 of the 2010 Final anyway.

Game six of 2013 trumps the Nashville game, the Wings series, even the Flyers game six.

At least in my book.

I think game seven though, as evidenced by how many times I felt the need to write about it and that series, will go down as a massive moment in hawk lore. But Seabrook's goal felt more like relief than ecstasy. Game six was ecstasy.

Hopefully next summer the engraver spells Versteeg right the first time.
