One of the big differences with NHL cap is that teams can't re-work contracts to move money around. It is what it is.

The only way to get out of bad contracts other than finding a sucker...er I mean trading parnter, is to send the player to the minor leagues, you still pay the contract but it doesn't count against the cap.

Thanks to Wade Redden, I am well versed on this subject.

That's exactly what they might have to do with Huet.

rangers are always good for taking on or negotiating dumb contracts on worthless players.

highly doubt someone is gonna take on huet's contract unless you make it worth their wild, ala picks and prospects. Same can be said for that ginger brian campbell. For what its worth, the hawks also traded Colin Fraser away last night as well for a later draft pick

just the price you have to pay to have the likes of hossa/kane/toews/keith/seabrook on your squad long term.... good problem to have IMO.

Buf is in for a rude awakening in the ATL

Sounds like hockey's version of Dan Snyder and his Redskins.

Interesting move by the Hawks. Byf's presence alone made teams gameplan differently.

Buff in the playoffs is a different story than Buff in the regular season. I was a big fan, but I think it was a good and necessary move. Plus that Jr prospect they picked up had 83 pts LY and looks like he could be a keeper.

The Chicago Blackhawks have acquired first round (24th overall) and second round (54th overall) selections in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and forwards Jeremy Morin, Marty Reasoner and Joey Crabb from the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for forwards Akim Aliu, Dustin Byfuglien and Ben Eager and defenseman Brent Sopel.

With the addition of the 24th and 54th picks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, the Blackhawks now have 10 total selections, including five in the first two rounds (24, 30, 43, 54 and 60).

Morin, 19, tied for fourth in the Ontario Hockey League with 47 goals and ranked 12th with 83 points in 58 regular-season games with the Kitchener Rangers last season. Atlanta’s second pick, 45th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Morin also ranked second on the Rangers with 12 goals and fourth with 21 points in 20 playoff tilts, helping the club reach the Western Conference Finals. He paced the OHL with 23 power-play goals during the regular season and also earned CHL and OHL Player of the Week honors for the week ending April 18 (7G, A), which included two hat tricks.

The Auburn, New York, native captured a Gold Medal with Team USA at the 2010 World Junior Championships, collecting five assists and seven points in seven games during the tournament. Prior to making his OHL debut with Kitchener in 2009-10, Morin spent three seasons with the United States National Team Development Program (2007-2009), posting 139 points (81G, 58A) in 120 career games.

a lot of people were high on that kid when they drafted him, never could get his head screwed on though

i think overall its a fleece job for the 'hawks, sopel and eager are spare parts, and to be honest sopel really is just a body in the point, eager does what eager does. ATL had an extra 1st rounder from the Ilya Kovy trade so that wasn't hard to part with.

move also gives guys like jack skille, another high draft pick a chance to make the squad this year
