For the twitter imbed-impaired:

Blackhawks trade first-round pick and a prospect to Arizona for Antoine Vermette, still pending NHL trade call

High price to pay but Vermette's a good player and seems like he'll be a good fit.

Klas Dahlbeck is the prospect included in the package.  A 2011 3rd round draft pick.  Not their top prospect by any means.

Guys, can we skip the tweet feature till they figure it out on Tapatalk?

It's making a lot of the forum unreadable at this time of year.

I'll speak for everyone when I say...no. It's new and exciting and cutting edge.

Vermette is an excellent 3rd c, but I wonder if they'll still be looking for a Kane replacement.

1st is an overpayment in my opinion.

Haha I'd expect nothing less from you, sir!

Chicago better hope Vermette and Timonen get them deep into the playoffs. Personally I think after the Kane injury they should have thrown in the towel on this season. These are just panicked moves and I see the Hawks going out early in the playoffs and then twiddling their thumbs at the draft having blown their 1st and 2nd round picks.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Yeah, that's quite the price. Vermette's pretty overrated.

One of the deeper drafts in the last while and 7 1st round picks have already been moved.  One of them has been moved twice too.

I think they know they're going to have to do some significant restructuring because of the cap this off-season so they're going for broke with the group they've already got it.

Let's figure out how to take advantage of them in the off-season.

Face offs aside, how much better than Santorelli is Vermette?

Just from a quick look at career numbers Vermette seems better in every way... 150 more career goals, double the career games (he's 3 years older) and 58 career playoff games as opposed to santorelli's 0.

I don't know how much sense it could make for the Leafs but Bickell makes a lot for that roster.

Bickell and Sharp are the two guys likely to get moved. I don't really have any interest in Bickell, but with just 2 years left on his deal I'd consider acquiring him if he came with a 2nd round pick or something like that. Basically just taking advantage of having cap space for once.

Yup, that sounds right, I don't have a lot of interest in him ( or Sharp for that matter ) but if you can get a decent pick back it could be worth it. I'd add that Bickell could be sold as a playoff performer in a deal down the road too.

Well sure if you want to look at the stats.....
