Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
Re-unite Parise and Suter with their olympic teammates Paul Stastny and Erik Johnson
But really, re-sign all our own guys. RFA: Ryan O'Reilly, Matt Duchene, Peter Mueller, Steve Downie, Jamie McGinn, Mark Olver, Erik Johnson and UFA: Jay McClement, David Jones, Hejduk(if he comes back).
Ryan Wilson, Kevin Porter, Shane O'Brien, Cody McLeod, and Matt Hunwick can go. Although I wouldn't oppose Wilson coming back as a 5th~7th D.
It's too bad the FO takes forever to sign our RFAs, or else we might do something in the free agency. Also with the uncertainty of the salary cap number, doubt they make big moves in the AF.Last edited by Kobalt; 05-04-2012, 05:28 PM.Comment

Everything.
Need a go-to scorer, more solid defensemen, a second line center that stays healthy, all the young players to develop and make a solid contribution starting next season, and be able to actually convince an impact free agent or two to sign. But other than that, you know...not much.Last edited by ImTellinTim; 05-04-2012, 08:30 PM.Comment

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
I'd like to get some consistent offense. A center would be nice, attacking wingers.
Above all, get everyone healthy.Comment

-Everything, but an overhauled defense in particular. Nobody but Giroux should be off limits.Comment

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
Blackhawks could use a goalie who is capable of stealing a game for them.
If Bostons asking price isn't too insane I'd be interested in looking at Tim Thomas for a short term fix.
In addition to that we need to sign two defensemen, not sure if Oduya will be kept or not, sounds like Bowman wants him and I liked him down the stretch of the regular season but after his playoff performance not so sure. They don't have to be superstars, just ideally better than O'Donnell and Lepisto (although I'd be fine with keeping Lepisto as the 7th dman).
Top 6 forward would be nice but need to fix the other holes before even worrying about that.Favorite Teams:
NCAA- University of Illinois Fighting Illini
NFL- Cleveland Browns
MLB- St. Louis Cardinals
NBA- Boston Celtics
NHL- Chicago Blackhawks

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
This is what I'd like to see happen.
-Throw everything and the kitchen sink at Suter. I really want Jagr back next year but if you have to let him walk to free up cap space, do it
-Try to get Jackman for a reasonable price
-IF an amnesty clause is part of the CBA, use it on one of Bryz, Briere, or Pronger (if he's done for good)
-Trade Schenn and/or JVR for a young defenseman
-Sign a defensive-minded center...even a 4th liner type guy is fine
-Draft a defenseman in the first roundComment

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
For Detroit? Get some players that know about positioning. FAR too many rebound chances pass us by because we have no net presence at all. You can only do so much with one player battling at the front of the net with two defenders. Other guys need to step it up.
And we could definitely use with a lot more physical play. Kicking for the puck along the boards and finishing your checks isn't enough anymore. I'm not saying go out of your way to "Weber" anyone, but don't be afraid to push back.Comment
