I think Chicago gave up a lot for Ladd.  It's well worth it if he plays well and they win another Cup, which could happen, but he just doesn't seem to have much left IMHO.

 

As for Stamkos -- as others have said upthread, Chicago wouldn't offer the deal DeLuca proposed, but if they did, I think TB would take it in a heartbeat.

He has come on in the last dozen or so games....he will be excellent with Toews and Hossa.

Guess who's back, back again

Liger's back, tell a friend

Guess who's back,

guess who's back,

guess who's back,

Guess who's back...

 

[Verse 1]

You’ve created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to

see L.G.R. no more they want Liger I'm chopped liver

well if you want Liger, this is what I'll give ya

a little bit of wit mixed with some quick kickers

some knowledge that'll jumpstart your heart quicker than a

goal scored off Jack’s stick with Samson helping

with quick passes when the Defense’s not collaborating

When Jack’s scores with the skill like he’s damn amazing

You waited this long so stop debating, cuz I’m back

I'm on this board and postulating

I know that you got a job Nfreeman but this board’s problems are complicated

So my A.D.D. won’t let me leave or let me see what’s OCD

PA want’s to talk Pegula so let us see how far He’ll take it without me

So come on wit, words on my lips, hear that

It’s giving you fits and causing you trips because this s#!t’s about to get heavy

I just observed and learned, best f##king get ready!

 

 

[Chorus 2x:]

Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy,

'Cause it feels so empty without me

 

[Verse 2]

Little hellions kids feeling rebellion

embarrassed, their parents still reminisce about Dominik hasek

they start feel all kinds of nostalgic

til someone comes along on a mission and yells Linus

An apparition, appearing so quick, could start a revolution, polluting your ice cave a rebel

Just let me revel in bask in the fact y’all be kissing Steve Stamkos’ @ss

And it’s a disaster, a catastrophe for you to think that’s the savior that we need

Well, I’m back (batman theme)

Fixing up your bent antennae, tune it and then I’m gonna

Drop Jack front and center

The center of attention back for the winner

He’s extraordinary, the best thing since Drury

Cruelly, not yet even where he will be

Testing “attention please” feel the tension soon as someone disagrees

Here’s my 10 cents, my 2 cents are free

Assurance, insurance, Steve S we don’t need

 

[Chorus 2x:]

Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me

'Cause we need a little controversy,

'Cause it feels so empty without me

 

[Verse 3]

A Linus a Zemgus, I'll go tits for tats with anybody who's talking they ain’t good we’re passed that.

Run our goalie you can get your @ss kicked

Worse because Kane is bat$#!t, And Gary

You should get stomped by Kimmy,

you old fart that game below me, It’s starting to bore me,

nobody wants clutch and grab no!

Now let’s go, just give the ref’s the signal, they’ll be blowing more penalties than JJ-5-O

Sabrespace be dope, but it’s getting hard watching this team choke

Ever since that Regier bloke

But sometimes it just seems everybody only wants to discuss memes

So that must mean our teams obscene, because Rob Ray just can’t un-seen

Though I’m not the first board guy to type a rhyme

I am the first to come back with mine, and it seems just in time

Because y’all have Stamkos on your mind

But hey! 20 million other posts on your screens

But no matter how many fish in this sea, it’d be so empty without me

Did you go to Tahiti? Was it a magical place?

 

(Hopes people get the Agents of SHIELD reference)

Sounds like Christian Ehrhoff will be moving from LA to CHI. Not an official trade but likely to occur. #TSN #tradecentre

 

Mark Lazerus @MarkLazerus

 

Source says Rob Scuderi likely headed to #LAKings. @TSNBobMcKenzie reporting that Christian Ehrhoff is "likely" headed to #Blackhawks.

Just became official

Man Chicago is gonna be tough again, I don't see buffalo ever becoming the Blackhawks, I know a lot of comparisons are drawn, but I think it's apples and oranges.

I don't think this is fair. Chicago was down in the dumps for quite some time. Buffalo doesn't have a history of big winning but there's a history of consistency here and we've got big pieces.

The big thing will be how Murray continues to assemble the roster. What comes next is the biggest step in the process. And then once we're on top, if we get there, how does the GM maneuver? Does he use his best future assets to continue the time at the top like Bowman/Tallon did or does he hesitate and miss the boat? We'll see.

As Blue has mentioned many times. We cant quite replicate what Chicago has done because we cant take advantage of long front loaded contracts anymore. What Chicago is wont be seen again.

Just because the contracts won't look the same doesn't mean you can't use them as a model. Just as coaches always find a way to adjust to coaching changes, executives find a way to adjust to financial changes. Over time players will have to take less or be impacted in different ways by the new contract parameters.
