More news about the Exodus from Chicago

well that's not officially what it's called, but the ever present rumblings out of the Cup champs city persists, after the jump. what Jim Matheson from the Edmonton Journal thinks, and why I think the Avs could do it

If any team wants Kris Versteeg, here's the likely scenario the Chicago Blackhawks are pitching: They will give him up for a second-round pick, but the team getting the winger also has to take defenceman Brent Sopel's $2.2 million contract off their hands.
I know Beachie won't like this, but if we ship Liles their way, we get a top 4 D man AND the winger we need (if we don't snap Kovie up). I'm not sure how deep the draft is, so I couldn't say how willing Sherman would be to give up our second round pick (we do have a second round pick..right?) and he does seem comitted to 'building from within' unless he was feeding AD a line.. Sopel was a beast during their finals run, something our D sorely lacks, and, well i've been on the Versteeg or Sharp train since the deadline, so please, fellow MHH'ers discuss this possibility.
