from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
Tallon is well aware of the work that lies ahead keeping the core of the team together.
“You never know what can happen with this group,” Kane said. “If they can keep it together somehow or someway. We have a great group here.”
Toews, Kane and Keith all will need new contracts after next season, and negotiations could start at $6 million a year for each of them.
But first things first. The Hawks must decide quickly if they want to re-sign unrestricted free agents Martin Havlat, Sammy Pahlsson and Matt Walker before they hit the open market on July 1.
Tallon has said he wants Havlat back, and the injury the veteran winger suffered in Game 3 against Detroit on the hit from Niklas Kronwall shouldn’t change anything. It’s going to come down to how much money Havlat wants, and for how many years.
