Q has shown confidence in unproven goaltenders before, like Niemi and Crawford...and the team has been able to protect those goaltenders, for the most part, and had some excellent games in front of journeyman Scott Darling...
The 'Hawks will, once again need Cap space, to sign "core" players Saad and Kruger, who are key members, being 1st liner with huge upside, and #1 PK Center, respectively...Moving Sharp and CC will clear $11.9million in cap space, so moving those two would make sense on a couple levels, and there WOULD be a market for proven playoff guys, that still have some years left in their careers.

I'd have no problem taking Sharp and Crawford off their hands
