Confirmed with Link: Hawks acquire Versteeg

[ChiGuySez]

Glad to have Steeg back, especially at half price.

Hayes and Olsen are good prospects, but they had no real chance of ever making the Hawks.

A little funny that Dale's still happy to take back his old first rounders.

Dales likes them.... Skille

So much for moves at the deadline..LOL

 

[BronYrAur]

I think Stan said Zus & Kostka have been LTIR'd.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Wow!

Half Price? Incredible!

Tank you Dale Tallon. First Frolik, now Versteeg!

 

[cassac]

Anyone know anything about the second player, Phillipe Lebreve or something like that?

 

[wladyslaw]

Hayes has looked very average during his call ups. He may turn out to be good but who knows. Never was a fan of Olson. It would be difficult for either to crack the line up with the Hawks.

I think Hayes could be very effective in another system, great hands, good behind the net. But his skating agility is NOT good! Hayes would be ok w/ 19/81 but really who wouldn't? But can't make it as a Defensively responsible 3rd/4th line type!

 

[Kurtosis]

am I the only one that thinks this is unwise considering Hayes was the leading scorer in the AHL last year...? and Versteeg has had a pretty paltry preformance in this year so far and also in the lockout season...? I hope he proves me wrong.

also what about a backup goalie...? I think we gave away too much. we should've been looking for Markstrom or Gudbranson to come along too.

 

[monochrome]

Ah I guess I was wrong about him being the top scorer, but he did score quite a bit. Hayes might never had made the hawks, but I swear he is too much to give up for Versteeg. You never know when someone big gets injured and he has to come up on a fourth line. We're basically just making the icehogs suck.

Versteeg will probably look better with the hawks, but i just don't understand why we think we need more offense right now.

 

[ChiTownCode]

I just dropped him from my fantasy team last week.

I now have dropper's remorse.

Any chance he plays in the top six?

Considering he has Hossa and Kane in front of him... probably not...

For spells maybe. I think he will be on the 3rd line for the most part, but the Hawks 3rd line is like quite a few team's 2nd line.

You know how Q tends to shuffle the lines though.

Um... You seem to think Jimmy Hayes is a lot better than he actually is.

Zero

 

[x Tame Impala]

How ****ing happy must Versteeg be right now?

He's going to be great on our 3rd line. Love every part of this deal

 

[Taze em]

Wow!

Half Pice? Incredible!

Tank you Dale Tallon. First Frolik, now Versteeg!

Wait a second, I ust saw a tweet saying it's half price for only this year? If so, this deal went from great to yikes.

 

[MTP]

Um... You seem to think Jimmy Hayes is a lot better than he actually is.

And that Stan Bowman gives a **** how well the Icehogs do.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

He should be able to help out the PK a bit.

 

[monochrome]

well i guess i havent checked hockeydb in awhile...yikes

p.s. whoever was waiting for the end of morin's stint you got your wish, morin was just sent down

 

[chicagoskycam]

The chemistry factor is huge here. Steeger knows most of these guys, their styles and Q. It's going to be a good fit.

 

[Kurtosis]

Zero

I bet he does during stretches in games. Not on a consistent basis though.

 

[Sevanston]

I could see Hayes working out really well on a team that relies more on offense via net presence than outskating their opponents, but that's not the way the Hawks play.

A guy who can't keep up with the Hawks transition game probably shouldn't be playing here, no matter what Handzus might lead you to believe.

 

[RomersWorld*]

1. Glad Jimmy and not Kevin. Main thread scared me.

I like Jimmy but he is already like 24 and can't crack the roster.

Olsen has looked very good in the AHL this year finally but still don't see great upside. Most likely a good 5 guy in future, possible bust. Johns and Dahlbeck are better, IMO.

Hopefully Versteeg can get back to that 50 point player and then the Hawks are stacked.

Details? Because if that is true...not happy.

Hahaha. Teravainens coming across the pond next year.

Dale Tallon loves his first round busts: Skille, Olsen

Now if Dale Tallon could only take back Kyle Beach.
