I would think that Sharp would be available for a pick (2nd or 3rd round) or a mid-level prospect...as the 'Hawks seem to be looking to shed his $5.9 million cap hit for an ELC.

As far as Panarin goes, I think that this is just the trickle, before the floodgates open for KHL talent bailing. Bad Russian economic forces mean that that KHL money will be drying up, for a lot of players.

As far as Hjammer goes, keep dreaming...when the choice was keeping one of Hjammer and a Cup winning goaltender, Niemi, the 'Hawks tied up the D-man. Despite the appearance that Keith is the 'Hawk #1 D-man, it is Hjarlmasson that draws the top defensive assignment. He is not going anywhere.
