Sharp will be the guy who gets shopped around due to his 5.9 M salary and the restraints of the salary cap. With Oduya becoming a UFA and looking to cash in, the Hawks will keep Seabrook around. They can't afford to lose Seabrook, Oduya and Roszival (a UFA who is their #5 defenseman before getting injured). If they keep Toews, Kane, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, that is a good group who has been around for all 3 cups. Throw in a guy like Saad who has been there for the last 2 and is still only 23 years old, Shaw who has won 2 and is a good role player, Kruger, Teravainen, etc and they still have solid pieces to challenge for the foreseeable future.
Crawford will be around too. Chicago really likes him and he has proven he can win the cup.
