I really don't see him on the big boys team. He will play in Rockford. Settle down.[/quote]



No kidding peoples, relax.



All of the signings that you read are for Rockford including Cullimore.

Some of you may not realize that the Rockford IceHogs players are signed

and paid by the Chicago Blackhawks.

Not to mention they REALLY need to refill that pipeline with all of the guys leaving to join the Blackhawks.

RK, my reply was more directed at tvltre for using his point totals as a benchmark for cullimore's skills. While I'm not a huge fan of the +/- stat, it serves its purpose better than points for a guy like cullimore.



hey aaron johnson is a ufa ;)

If we could get Lilja, would people want him? He's a PK guy, isn't he?

Seriously, I'm more worried about depth at center after loosing Madden (and to a lesser degree Fraser, Burish and Versteeg) than who might be riding the pine as our 7th defenseman.



With the current roster, one or two injuries and there are issues at center. If they are going to sign a veteran player, I'd prefer a center.

Depth at C scares me too if there's any injuries there.



Toews

Sharp

Bolland

Dowell





.................



But, for many years we didn't have two guys as good as the four up there.

Does Paul Mara want a cup? If so sign with us for much less, our D would be more unstoppable than it already is.

True. Just think we could sign a vet center on the cheap. Maybe Lang (if he has anything left) or Belanger?

The same could be said about almost any team except maybe the Penguins, Flyers and Bruins, really.



Look at it this way instead: How many teams have as good a 1-2-3 punch as the Hawks? Five or six perhaps?

I agree shredder. I just like another C in the pipeline.



Last year you had



Toews

Bolland (injured)

SHarp

Madden

Frazer

Versteeg (q started turning him into a center)

Dowell if need be.



There was more depth there.

That's one reason I wouldn't have minded seeing Reasoner stick around. Madden will be missed.

Hendry on board now. 1 year/$600,000.



http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=271



No formal press release yet on the officials.



Edit: Cap numbers on capgeek include Huet on the roster. When he waves goodbye they have 19 signed with about 2.5 million in cap space to add 1-2 players.

C Depth this year vs Last -

Toews - Toews

Sharp - Sharp

Bolland - Bolland

Dowell - Madden

Kopecky - Fraser

Taffe - Versteeg

Brophey - Burish



Definately a step back in the Center depth - Bolland needs to play a full year, he scares me in the top 3, being he's only played 1 full season the last 3 years. If the top 3 play 82gms (each, not combined!)....I have zero prob with Taffe/Dowell handling the 4th line duties...Kopecky can handle some spot center duty as well. I was kind of hoping for a Modano signing, since he could play both C/LW.



I was wondering if they'd try to sign Kane's buddy who was bought out in Buffalo - Tim Kennedy - on the cheap. He won his arbitration at 1mil - and Buff bought him out, so they'll be eating 333K. Maybe give him a 1yr deal, for 600K - and he can play LW and Center as well...(he took 400 faceoffs last year in Buffalo - and although was only at 34%, you can pull him for DZone draws)...he just adds to C depth if needed.
