Same here but for some reason I got a crazy notion they will.[/quote]
Its widely speculated that they will explore their options on Seabrook come trade deadline time if his demands are unreasonable.
Personally, the Hjarmarsson offer sheet put Seabs in a bad spot. He's certainly going to want (and deserve) more than what Hammer got, but if you give him a lot more than that, he becomes prohibitively expensive. When you look at the comparable contracts (namely Dan Hamhuis, who Seabrook is better than), you are looking in the neighborhood of $5.0 million per year.
I don't think the Hawks view Seabrook in that stratosphere and may want to capitalize on his trade value at some point this year if they can get decent return.
This also has as much to say about their viewpoints on the potential of Lalonde, Leddy and Olsen as it does about Seabrook, in my opinion. These guys are going to need roster spots to open up before they will develop as players and the Hawks may want to see that happen sooner rather than later.
Again, this is just a hunch on my part. I don't want to see Seabrook go.
