Thing that the Hawks have going for them is a good pipeline to supply more young talent.

Saad, Morin, Hartman, Teravainen, Pirri, Leblanc, McNeil, etc give them a really good group of young players coming up over the next 2-3 years. Something that is rare for teams that are already elite

Could actually see them using a compliance buyout on Hossa. Will be 35 soon and that contract could be a killer depending on when he decides to retire due to the cap recapture penalties. If he retires in 2017 (His contract drops to $1 million the next season) it would cost the Hawks $4 million per year for 4 years.
