Except were not in a worse apce cap wise, we are close to compliant when before we were not.
Technically we are cap compliant until opening night.

So we had a full team that was under the cap when the season ended? Please tell me why we had to unload a lot of salary then.Dude we were 1.8 under the cap when the season ended. We're now 2.6 under cap.... We saved 800k.
Gee, I wonder why people think he is terrible...hmmmm...maybe because he has been?
That doesn't answer the question at all. I asked who said they expect him to do anything? Don't move the goalposts. If you think he was terrible in '13-14, then you're dead wrong, if you think he was terrible last year, then you're absolutely correct, if you're positive he'll be terrible on the Hawks, then can I have next year's Cup winner because I could use the extra cash.

We should have traded or gave away Sharp, Bickell and Versteeg, that alone right there is 12.1 million plus the 1.8 million makes basically 14 million. Signed Saad for 5 million (he would have stayed for 5), Signed Oduya for 3.5 and Kruger for 2, then filled out the remaining roster spots with guys from our own system - which can be done with the remaining 3.5. Yeah, 3.5 can get you 4 players from the farm.....
Problem solved.

You know, despite tons of reports that the Hawks offered Saad 5 million and he turned it down, the absolute lunacy that is trading Sharp and Bickell without salary coming back, this is a really good idea. And then we wouldn't have any lazy Russians either.
I was having such a good day yesterday-I played some golf, only hit two houses, laughed at a dumbass chasing his dog bare-ass naked on 16 and then I came home and checked the boards...
I'm vacationing in Cape Cod, and have now spent the final day of my trip sitting on the beach while fighting on hf. Thanks, Stan.

Oh, please. He's been mediocre to bad pretty much his whole career and he is 31. Sure, he could (and this is unlikely given his track record) end up being a net positive, but I don't see why anyone should expect him to.
By standard metrics (points, plus minus) he's been fine
I think we can all agree that Stan panicked.
Its truly astonishing that people are actually defending this trade
Wow
We already had a "Welp, I hope this guy does better on the Hawks" in Anisimov. If we're going to have giant question marks, why can't they be prospects at least?
I guess we're only stuck with Daley for another year after this if he's terrible, instead of six.
That's what more along the lines of being like 2011 would be than this is. Which is why it's weird people keep saying that. If they were just making trades and hoping for prospects of limited experience and vets who were 700K range players in top 9 roles it would be that level of bad.
Dano - Toews - Hossa
Panarin - Anisimov - Kane
Bickell - Terävainen - Shaw
The Hawks will be fine.
