[QUOTE="IlliniByProxy, post: 1218502, member: 9939"] Your wish was granted as well. $875K for Panik. $100k less than last years contract. I'll take it, but i would also have liked to keep Tervainen for essentially the same money. If the options were to bury Bickell and keep Tervainen at a cost of about $4M or resign Shaw for anything over $3.5M, I would have taken option A. If Bowman can structure some type of back loaded deal in which year 1 of Shaw's contract only takes about $2.5M off the books then I'm all for it. He can then essentially go out and sign another mid-level player for $1.5-2M. The problem with this plan is that you are betting on skill guys that you haven't seen on the pro level yet. Motte, Schmaltz(if they can get him signed), Hinostroza, Hartman are all promising young players, but are far from a sure thing and most all will need a year or three of seasoning. Hawks are in win now mode and TT was good bet to make a big leap this year. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the corresponding roster moves are. [/QUOTE]
