Own speculation. Look at his contract on cap geek. Look at where the Hawks are for cap space now and what they'll need for space to sign Toews and Kane. I wouldn't look at this as dismantling the team but as making the best of a tough situation to preserve the team as best they can. Just a thought.

They have a year until they need to sign Toews and Kane.

Khabibulin, Brookbank, Handzus are all of the cap now, so that frees up a few million. I dont think there is a big rush.

Versteeg to the Flames, Rozival to the Oliers, viola. Five million off the cap.

You're right and the same thing was said last year when the Kings and Bhawks played.

Kings become 1st team in NHL history to win 3 Game 7's on the road in one postseason.

Although they had them down on the mat, they themselves were down in the prior 2 series. Just epic stuff right here. And the right man who IMO could be only one to lead the charge! Win it all again, Darryl!! Best coach in the league.

The Leafs almost pulled off winning 3 straight game 7s back in 1993. Ironically, after winning the first 2 series, the Leafs at home lost to the Kings in 7 games.
