I imagine they will re-sign him this offseason even with all the cap difficulties. It helps that he is a RFA

They have to keep him because his contract is so small it will work within the cap next season. :v:

It's pretty amazing how Hossa is like 36 but he often looks like the best Hawks player on the ice. He's such a beast.

I feel like this wouldn't hurt nearly as bad if it wasn't due to the fact that it's going to be three years in a row :doh:

If it means keeping Saad, I'd be fine with losing both Sharp and Crawford.

Saad is the only one i'm pretty positive they won't give up for anything. Sharps a dead man.

I don't know if he counts, but Panarin is young and might be pretty good.

I think McNeil could work out well on the bottom 6 next year, too.

I've heard him described as Andrew Shaw with a higher ceiling. Probably will be in Rockford for another year

You have no clue honestly. Dubnyk, even if he can't keep his production, is light years ahead of Kuemper and Backstrom :rip:, another Wild goalie is needed as Backstrom is now old and probably being bought out. Unfortunately, I just imagined we would stop being the little brother to the hawks but I was naive. Every year :sigh:
