Wingels: really like this move, especially if he has a bounce back season. Definitely like his speed. Should be a solid 4th liner, with upside.

Bonus: he's from Wilmette and grew up a Hawks fan

Lots of Calgary fans like Bouma. Not much O, but VG D. Can PK & blocks a ton of shots. Good 4th line guy. The goalie will battle Forsberg for the backup spot and most likely lose. He'll be the #1 guy in Rockford. Hawks really needed to shore up their goalie pipeline and it looks like they have. Oesterle: Edmonton fans seem to like him. Don't think he has a chance to make the Hawks. #1 PMD in Rockford. Wingels: really like this move, especially if he has a bounce back season. Definitely like his speed. Should be a solid 4th liner, with upside.

Ras is gone, which I'm ok with. Don't know squat about the center kid they got from AZ. Really hoping he's ready. Kero needs to step up his D game considerably this year.

Forsberg was the guy I was talking about being the steal. The other guy they signed, agree with you that he'll be the #1 guy in Rockford.

Forsberg was great in the A (no hyperbole). He'll backup Crow, get seasoned and, hopefully, be ready to step up to #1 in two seasons. Pretty optimistic about this acquisition.

I wonder if people still think Crawford is overpaid seeing how Carey Price now has a 10.5M cap hit.
