from Tim Sassone at Between The Circles,
Now the Hawks are rumored to be one of the teams interested in Ottawa center Jason Spezza, who is said to be on the block.
Spezza is a nice player, but he’s going to make $8 million a year through 2013. The question is, could the Hawks take on that salary with Brian Campbell set to make $7 million for the next seven years and Toews and Kane’s deals up in two years? They’re going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.5 million a year each.
And the Hawks also have Duncan Keith to pay soon and he’s going to require at least $5 million, likely more.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
Who will they trade? I know the Sens have goaltending woes, but they have to get offense back for Spezza considering they are barely even a one line team any more.
As far as I’m concerned, the Hawks are stuck with the team they have until the deadline, if anyone will even deal with them then. They are working from a position of weakness, having tied up too much money in two goalies (that are only decent, not excellent, for that matter), and having given Brian Campbell way more money than his actual game dictates (his defensive mistakes cost them a game just last night!).
