Lol ok sure what the f*** ever

 

[clydesdale line]

2nd round pick AND a decent enough player to take advantage of Tampa Bay's cap issues? Well done Stan! LOL

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Pardon f***ing me?

What the f*** is happening. I don’t understand anything.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is the most exciting offseason for Hawks since probably when we signed Campbell/Huet

What a wild ride

 

[Rick C137]

Tampa bout to LTIR their way to a 3 peat

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Is Chicago trying to jump straight to cap hell again?

 

[Illinihockey]

Um how can they afford this?

 

[ReLyT]

This day just keeps getting wilder

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Okay seriously, we have to trade about 5 forwards because we have way too many.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

This is just bananas

 

[CallMeShaft]

I'm so confused. Everything is happening and I can't begin to comprehend it all.

Someone tell me how to feel.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Um how can they afford this?

They must have some deals to dump Strome and de Haan or Zadorov.

 

[Geoist]

I can't think of a crazier offseason for the Hawks.

 

[AmericanDream]

bwahahahaha this is f***ing nuts.

here I was about to go hang with the kddos, nope, getting ready for round 3 of idiocy!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[AmericanDream]

Um how can they afford this?

what do you mean? Seabs was on LTIR and his cap hit would come off regardless..we have room for more still if we want

 

[Illinihockey]

what do you mean? Seabs was on LTIR and his cap hit would come off regardless..we have room for more still if we want

right but now he’s gone, so you can’t count on that cap hit coming off

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

This is just bananas

 

[Illinihockey]

Why not take Suter at 1 year and his number instead of Johnson for 3?

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

right but now he’s gone, so you can’t count on that cap hit coming off

Right, this puts them right up against the cap if not over it now.
Now they only have 3.9M of LTIR space, but they do gain 1.875M of actual cap space.

 

[AmericanDream]

right but now he’s gone, so you can’t count on that cap hit coming off

It was already included in our cap this entire time..the bigger issue is now with Fleury and what the hell happens there

 

[ChiHawks10]

Brent Seabrook going back takes his cap hit off the Hawks books. They no longer have to use off-season LTIR on him. It's actual cap space. Bowman got a pick for taking on the hit, and made almost 2m in cap space in the process.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Is Johnson still capable of playing C or is he RW exclusive now?

If he is RW fulltime now top 6 likely is going to be (Pending Toews health)

Debrincat-Dach-Kane
Kubalik-Toews-Johnson

 

[Mrfenn92]

This shit be crazy

 

[featherhawk]

what the hell is Stan doing.

overpays to acquire Seth
extends Seth for 8 years at 1.5-2M per overpayment....

does not qualify Suter

acquires MAF even though he may never play with the hawks and gets no retained salary

Acquires Johnson who shitty and is on a terrible contract and gets only a draft pick in return

the hawks are headed right back to Cap hell it seems by design

unbelievable

someone has to stop Stan, Rocky needs to fire his ass ASAP

stop the bleeding, please!
