As underwhelming as Zacha's numbers look when you check TFG's thread every day, it seems he's quietly put up 51 points in 44 games. I think I've been a little too tough on him.

Cordell had an interesting idea of trading Stempniak and/or Schlemko for Marko Dano.  Guess the issue is that he was the centerpiece of the Saad trade, so I don't think the Blackhawks want to give up on him so quickly.   

True, but I can also see Bowman easily throwing caution to the wind if he thinks that deal improves their chances of winning it this year.

Dano is young and has loads of potential. Stempniak isn't. This is still a team in desperate need of scoring youth.

Fair enough.  But we're not THAT desperate.  And including Schlemko in this deal makes no sense if we're taking on Bickell.  If we're taking on Bickell, I want more than Dano.

Bickell's contract only has one more year at $4M.  The Devils could buy it out with a dead cap hit of 1.3M.  That's really not bad.  Meanwhile they acquire a guy with big potential like Dano for a bunch of secondary pieces.  

It would be pretty ballsy to trade two important players in the middle of a playoff run.

If you can't get motivated to play for the Hawks, Bickel won't be to play here. He is like Mike Richards.  I think he's done.

Taking the Bickell contract isn't to sweeten the deal for the Devils, it's to sweeten the deal for the Blackhawks.

Toews: 61GP 43PTS, 10.5 Cap Hit

Zajac: 53GP 30PTS, 5.75 Cap Hit

I never want to hear people complain about Zajacs contract anymore. He is not paid like a first line center and he is still a very valuable player to have. If he can put up 40+ points a season and continue his dominant defensive play then everyone should be happy.

I've been saying this the entire time.

All the more reason to approach the deadline as sellers.  

Friggin' Cammalleri...guy is simply not capable of playing a full season's worth of games anymore.  Hasn't been in years.  Stuck with him for now though.

Incredibly frustrating player with a frustrating injury. 

The forum layout is strange with pretty much everything thrown into 3 or 4 threads.

Holy crap.  I knew it was bad, but seeing this really drives the point home.

Ruutu on the third line... I just threw up in my mouth.
