I heard that the Sharks were ready to give him an offer sheet that the Blackhawks had no hopes of matching. Better to have him in the Eastern conference than at a top western conference rival.

Yeah, it was a major mistake when Steeger left, and Byfuglein, and Stalberg, and Bolland. I think Stan deserves more credit.

Saad was asking for $6m/6yr. Even if Sharp and Bicks were traded, Shaw likely would have to be dealt and Krueger wouldn't be signed. It's too much for the Hawks.

Low level prospects? You got a second line center, Morin who can play on any line, Tropp's physical play and Marko Dano, who could end up being the best part of the trade in the Blackhawks system.

I was pretty bummed about losing Saad, but this video helped take away some of the sting: http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2015/6/30/8873491/blackhawks-brandon-saad-trade-analysis-marko-dano-artem-anisimov-nhl-2015

Kane is the mayor of Dangle City, but maybe this kid can become deputy mayor or city manager.

They had to trade him and everyone knew it. Seems like they did ok on the deal. Bowman doing an excellent job of moving the chess pieces.

Agreed.  Like the pieces they have gotten back.  Think they have a good shot to repeat on paper.

I didn't like seeing Saad get traded but I think its safe to say at this point Bowman is pretty good at what he does.

Sharp on the other hand definitely needed to go.

IF that was true Sharp would have been long gone prior to this summer.

Good riddance to a guy that played for the team for 10 years and helped win 3 Cups?  Makes perfect sense.....

34 year old on the decline with a big cap hit who most likely slept with his teammates wife. Good riddance.

Apparently you believe every idiotic rumor you read on the internet.

Sharp had to go due to the cap but the Hawks are not a better team today than they were prior to the trade.

No but I don't think they're worse either. Sharp may put up good numbers next year but only because Dallas plays that ridiculous attacking hockey. Hes just not as good as he used to be. Let Teuvo fill that role of a new sniper.

Yup. You're absolutely right. Sharp wasn't boning Keiths wife... Or ex wife rather.

Saw that this morning.  If Sharp was going to cheat on his wife, as I unfortunately assume a high percentage of pro athletes do, I imagined he wouldn't be stupid enough to engage in something with the wife of a teammate and good friend, considering all the other opportunities I'm sure he must be presented.
