Exactly....what happens when Toews and Kane are done with the first contracts, and want their due? An excellent point, but not a worry until next year at least.

The Hawks could free up $10 Million+ by dumping Sopel, Byfuglien, and trading one of their goalies (preferably Huet at this point) and bringing up either of the excellent prospects (Crawford or Mitti) from the Icehogs.
