Bickell or Sharp has to go... with Rozi, Oduya, Leddy and Krüger

Nope!

Dump Kris Versteeg and Michal Rozsival. I don't care if you have to put the aforementioned two on waivers to get below the salary cap.

We're definitely going to find out a lot about our drafting over the next 4-5 seasons.

The Chicago Blackhawks need to become ultra aggressive in the NCAA hockey UDFA market and the European hockey UDFA market for future prospects. The Chicago Blackhawks can start with goaltending prospects during the 2014-15 NHL Season:

Clay Witt
Joel Rumpel
C.J. Motte

I don't think Seabrook or Sharp took under value. Unless you're comparing it to what undesirable teams might have paid them.

 

[Bubba88]

Both easily would have gotten more

Sending those two to the minors does nothing to help with the cap. Better hope someone claims one of them if they do go on waivers.

They would have made a little more in FA but they were not what you would call "hometown" discounts.

The only Hawk to have taken a hometown discount was Hammer and that was because he felt bad about 2010. What would he have made if he hit FA? Definitely 5 M. 6 M per?

You need to come to terms with fact one or both of them will be on Hawks next year
