Marian Hossa and Thomas Kopecky from Detroit and John Madden from the Devils.

exchanging Hossa for Havlat who's has injury issues and Kopecky(27) for Pahlsson(31), very positive moves.

Hated to see Matt Walker go to the Lightening but with the cap you can't keep everybody. Overall very encouraging

Walker was overly slow and didn't try the last 1/3 of the season. Let him be gone.

I was shocked when they went and landed Hossa. The trick now will be for the Hawks to keep Kane and Toews.

Blackhawks are trying to cover their @$$! They signed Barker and others. Versteeg still unsigned. I guess he is more expendable than others with Hossa, Sharp, Kane, and Toews as goal scorers.
