Volchenkov for Campbell is a win for the 'Hawks in every respect.

Of course they'd have to take Cheechoo.

Even then, I wouldn't consider it.

Yeah really, I proposed a trade where Sharp would be involved - and he should be if A-Train is in there.

no what i'm talking about is salary. and as far as cheechoo i know everyone is ready to give up on him but what other foward is ready to take his place in the system? i think cheechoo will net 20 this season, you lose him even with cambell it's not like kovalev is suddently gonna wake-up. at least cheechoo is out there trying 100%. seriously i don't think we can part with any foward unless we have some offencive fowards coming back that can score. and volchie for cambell doesn't work for ottawa money wise. that's what i'm talking about.

That would be the time to just put in Shannon on a regular basis, taking over Cheechoo's role in the top 9, elevating Foligno to top 6 and hope for an increase in production from Foligno. Or sub in Winchester for Cheechoo - I understand though what you're saying in that respect - we'd lose some goals for sure.

As for Kovalev, I think he might wake up if we get a guy who can move the puck like Campbell. How many times did guys like Streit, Markov etc. send him in on 2 on 1s or breakaways. This guy Kovalev...he likes the float around a bit at center, just waiting for a pass. That's his issue and it's also his blessing, because he has that innate ability to finish a play, although we haven't been witness to that this year. With an amazing outlet passer like Campbell, his production would go up substantially IMO. Everyone's would, but specifically him, Spezza, Alfredsson, Michalek. The guys with finish.

I don't think Kovalev needs someone to pass him the puck, more like the other way. How many times I've seen him look for someone and yet nobody is available for one timers. That was one thing ANdrei Kostitsyn did great.

Well after that set up to Cheechoo maybe he'll start going to him more. Cheechoo can shoot -- you don't score 56 in this league without that ability, I don't care how good Thornton is. Also, Cheechoo is not afraid to go for the net. It may take him a little longer to get there (what's with his skating?) but he does go for it.

Not to fuel the fire, but is Chris Pronger better than our entire D core?

No.

Volchie and Philips combined defensively + Lee's skating, Kuba's poise and PIcard's shot; we put that in one guy and we're laughing... maybe.

Lee just bought himself a few more games every time he scores....

1-0 Yeah!!!!!!!!

LEE!

Haha shabbs you did the same as me... Wrong game day!

Mother Diddler.

I'm gonna post here too...

Super fluffing.

I think if you put all that together you get Chris Pronger.

You'd still be missing the mean streak and the choirboy looks that make the refs looke the other way on the elbows.
