Was wondering who has the best chance of taking it. - Derrick Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:24:46 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2892-byfuglien-to-atlanta-for-morin#comment-6656 I would disagree a bit and start off by saying what a robbery Chi just pulled. Byf is the hottest thing going right now and kudoos for Chi cashing in on that. Yes he was amazing in playoffs, but he did not cash in last regular season and it will happen again. The guy parks himself in front of the net and no one can move him. Why? There are no enforcers playing in the p/o's and no one wants to take a dumb penalty so you have to deal with it. However, come regular season its a differnet story and that's why he's nothing more than a 45 pointer. You mention he will be a second liner and hit 55, but his playing mates won't be as talented. Some can argue this but I think the main point is he is two totally differnet players with different style from regular season to playoff. Atl will grow tired of his inconsistency and he'll bounce from 2nd-3rd line 35 games in IMO. Wow, did Chi clean up there! - Darren Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:35:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2892-byfuglien-to-atlanta-for-morin#comment-6655 They definately sold Buff high,$3mil/ for a guy on your 3rd line is a bit much. Getting 2 good picks for him and Sopel while shedding salary is pure gold! Reasoner at$1.1mil for Eager (unsigned)also falls in the Hawks favour, getting Morin for Aliu is just iceing on the cake! They probably still have to shed a little salary (as well as dumping Huet to the minors),but so far they done very well. - Larry Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:27:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2892-byfuglien-to-atlanta-for-morin#comment-6653 No mention of him in this article or in the list of players this helps? What are your thoughts on Beach? - Chad Wed, 23 Jun 2010 16:28:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2892-byfuglien-to-atlanta-for-morin#comment-6651 Not a done deal yet as per Bob McKenzie: It is my understanding Chi-Atl trade hold up is indeed because Atl would have 51 contracts with trade. Atl has to move a contract first. - YearOfTheFish Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:58:18 +0100
