So trade the player that is worth 10.5 and produces to that level for a another Russian? Yeah, that's a no for me Dog!

I have to wonder if you read the team explanation, especially that pure fiction part, maybe that part about reality is the Blackhawks probably won't be big players this offseason?

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't think getting Ovi for $1M less per year versus Kane wouldn't be worth it. 50 goal scorer, big winger that would revamp the Toews line?

One is a winner, and one isn't
One can make his linemates better, the other doesn't
One is 28 and the other is 31
One has 6 years left on his contract, the other 4
They are both the face of their franchises

Richard Panik has done a fantastic job of playing next to Toews the last 3/4 of a year.
