[AmericanDream]

nobody does...

What next if you aren't a season ticket holder you cant have opinion? If you don't mindlessly support Stanley you somehow aren't a Hawk fan?

Hawks were around before Stanley and will be around after him

Lol who said any of this?

 

[Melrose Munch]

Another awful trade. I'd rather Q had become GM at this point.

 

[Hawkaholic]

They definitely should hold off on his extension now to see how these moves pay off.

This.

We can blither on all day about who was more responsible for the 'hawks slide in recent years, but the reality is Stan's neck should be in the noose until/unless the moves pay off. We extend him now and if the team chemistry goes to crap because of the moves and the new guys just can't gel, what then?

I think any smart businessman should wait for the results of at least this season. Stan has everything lined up for him to have a good shot at succeeding. If he does, then extend him. If he doesn't, cut him loose. But you'd have to think that if the team does go deep he'd be looking at a much larger extension than he would if he signed now.

Hawks have resources.
They weren't afraid to pay Q and dump him, they should do the same with Bowman (I am nowhere close to looking for his firing). There could be some major contract decisions ahead, and front office volatility wouldn't help.

They can keep him under contract and have him on the block at the same time.

No reason not to Rocky!

You’ve been on fire lately.

Fine by me. We should hold off a year regardless of this trade. You reward for performance ... not for perception.

Love the risk taking, but you’re right, we need to see the results.

Who?

 

[bwana63]

Bowman's first name is Stanley. The Cup's first name is Stanley. Coincidence? I think not.

Absolutely. Let's see the results, and a visit to the playoffs, not ended in the 1st round.

 

[ChiHawks10]

It's Melrose Munch.

Just so you know, Stan's the reason he's taking chances like this. Also, the reason for having to is Stan, overpaying EVERYONE. He is also the main reason for no playoffs lately. Hard to believe McDlt and Rocky are letting him off for that. As far as signing Mitchell, Stan's spooked that he wouldn't if he let him finish school.

Yeah, like Kampf.

I count to 1 player paid much more than his cap hit, and that was a contract signed 4 years ago.

Who is overpaid lately? Lehner, Carpentar, Gus, Koekkoek, Dahlstrom?

How far back can I go? Toews/Kane.5m more than necessary, Seabrook's last contract, Trading for Anisimov and immediately extending him, Bickell-2 good weeks during the playoffs goes from 800,000 to 4m for 4 years, Kruger a 4th line Center getting $3m per...

I got your meatballs, Stan.

 

[AmericanDream]

I got your meatballs, Stan.

so far there have been 5-6 posters who disagree with your takes that you have called Stan...how many burner accounts does Bowman have on here Gary??

I can't help it if others want to give Stan a pass for all his screw-ups. If it's not clear, not a big fan.
