Thursday's Dump & Chase: Stupid Blackhawks Re-Sign Two Best Players

In case you missed it, our least favorite team in the whole wide world locked up their two best players to twin 8-year, $84 million contracts yesterday. I was hoping they'd hold out for $20 million each or test the market, so I'm a little bummed. This definitely keeps the Hawks in the title conversation right now, but hopefully the cap will step up and hammer them in the future. They're only $4 million under as of today, with 15 players signed for next season. That's not a lot of wiggle room. (Have you voted for OTF in the Toast of Music City Reader's Choice Awards? Voting is open through July 22nd...head on over and cast your ballot right HERE. Thanks!)
