susraiders Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I guess they are going with Irving, but I thought he would have been worth more than a 7th. And I didn't think that Chicago would need another backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 LOL, a 7th! I guess nobody wanted him via waivers, and the Heat already have two good goalies. Karlsson > Alec Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Developed goaltender for a 7th? Better believe this is what the Hawks were looking for their goaltending issues. He might not make an impact this season, but this is an absolute steal. I also think this decreases the rumours of Luongo to Chi town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I thought Karlsson was a decent goalie. At least worth more than a 7th rounder. Looks like Chicago's desperate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think Karlsson will be playing with Chicago, I think he'll be playing for the Hogs over Alec Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Let's get this straight, I never said he would be playing in Chicago, just that he's a good depth goalie for a 7th. I also highly doubt Luongo would ever go to the powerhouse that is Chicago. Might as well hand them the WCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The had no leverage in the deal that's why they only got a 7th, he is worth more than that IMO, but the it was a tenable situation and the Hawks knew it, and took advantage, a bit surprised they didn't just claim Irving or Karlsson earlier though when they were on waivers.

Trebreh Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 dont they have Emery as backup? or is Crawford injured?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Wilson Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Karlsson is awful. And the Hawks could've had him for free, but we got a 7th out of someone that would just be sitting in the pressbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baercheese Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think it's because at the end of his first year he was showing promise and made some Sportsnet clips, so people are remembering that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 followed that by not even winning a game the next year. Give me another Matt DeBlouw this draft with the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
