Not only will Detroit likely be back to their usual competitive level, therefore making even 8th place for Dallas hard to get, but going from Modano to Wandell or Petersen on the 3rd line is a major downgrade, and our offense (which was already weak) will be lacking even more.Texas Youth for Political Awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803544786784812364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-78196599628187235022010-08-04T07:18:11.909-04:002010-08-04T07:18:11.909-04:00If he were to leave the Stars, I was hoping he cou...If he were to leave the Stars, I was hoping he could go to the Wild, which would make a lot of sense.

Though considering the struggling goalie UFA market, I won't be surprised to see it take until some point in September for Niemi to be signed by another team, or for Chicago to find a team to trade him to if they decide to take that route.<br /><br />The Hawks appear destined for the same road that the Stars have fallen down- The team enjoys success (mostly) and isn't an unattractive UFA destination, but due to a lack of money, the team can't sign even a semi-high profile free agent.Texas Youth for Political Awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803544786784812364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-32455559428205144612010-08-03T12:57:56.382-04:002010-08-03T12:57:56.382-04:00Well, Niemi at least won a Cup, which Turco couldn...Well, Niemi at least won a Cup, which Turco couldn't even get a sniff at. But I still think Niemi had less to do it than any previous goaltender on Cup teams at least over the past decade (and yes, I'm including Osgood's 2008 campaign). Quick, name a decisive, game-altering save Niemi made during last septentrional Spring. That's my whole point.<br /><br />He's not a liability, though, far from it.<br /><br />As for Huet, what I hear is that the problem is not the Cap, rather than money, pure and simple. Sending him to the minors would artificially bolster their Cap by his not-modest salary, but the Hawks can barely afford the regular Cap for what I hear.Alexandre Giesbrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787402115916448370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-69563780151346255282010-08-02T14:22:56.693-04:002010-08-02T14:22:56.693-04:00Interesting that you think Niemi was overrated; I&...Interesting that you think Niemi was overrated; I've heard from a lot of Hawks fans that Niemi to Turco is a huge downgrade. Still, you could be right, we'll see how each one does on a new team.<br /><br />As far as Huet, he has to either go to the minors or Europe, otherwise the Hawks won't be able to afford another defenseman and won't be able to ice a full team. I'm just surprised they didn't move Huet to the minors earlier to attempt to keep some of the other players they had to let go, as Huet was more expensive than several of those other players.Texas Youth for Political Awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803544786784812364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-58042688982316663952010-08-02T08:18:20.614-04:002010-08-02T08:18:20.614-04:00The problem in Chicago is that, despite the Cup, t...The problem in Chicago is that, despite the Cup, the team is deeply in Red. It can hardly afford sending Huet to the minors (although I think it eventually will have to). And Niemi, cheap as he might be with a US$ 2,75M salary, got a little overrated because of the Cup. He was barely a factor, just played ok.Alexandre Giesbrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787402115916448370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-22915442850826601752010-07-28T15:20:03.776-04:002010-07-28T15:20:03.776-04:00Thanks man!

While I really don't know anything about OHA or Alan Kerr or that blog, there's a boarding school known as Shattuck-Saint Mary's that's very well known for its strong hockey programs. They've produced many NHL players such as current young star Jonathan Toews, and his younger brother David, who was recently drafted in the 2009 NHL draft. Personally, I'd love to go to that school. There are also numerous other hockey schools in Minnesota and Canada that you could look into.Texas Youth for Political Awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803544786784812364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025858569251462251.post-31689262923995014452008-12-09T20:08:00.000-05:002008-12-09T20:08:00.000-05:00Josiah Hunter's the name.And thank you again for u...Josiah Hunter's the name.<BR/><BR/>And thank you again for using this, and a greater thanks for putting my name in the credits.
