Hawks TDL

Before I could even offer up comments on the Toews to Carolina trade - I need to know what’s up with Toews to begin with. Why isn’t he playing? mixed signals out on the internet right now.

Murphy is the only "older" defenseman that I could see the Sabres possibly considering - he doesn't fit the age group they're building around but he does have contract term at reasonable cap hit, is a defensive-minded physical blueliner with strong skating skills, a leader in his lockerroom and knows Don Granato well from their days in Chicago together.

Only question is if Nadeau is the prospect the Sabres are willing to give up - Bloom or Kisakov seem more likely.

Sabres might be willing to do that
I think many of our fans would

I'd be a happy human if the trade deadline is anything close to this. Only comment is that the Hawks might have to take Pool Party from Edmonton in the Domi deal if Hawks can't retain on him. Which doesn't bother me one bit. These are all very realistic. Good job!

i was in on Bloom as a possible return in a Murphy trade until I read Wheeler's Athletic article about Buffalo propects. Bloom wasn't on his top 15 so I picked Nadeau who came in 11th. Hawks could use some forwards so I stayed away from your D and G prospects and your top F's.
