Glad they are looking for former players to take his spot. Seabs maybe? They seem to be focusing on younger people all around lately.

I believe he’s living back home in BC. Spending time with his family. I would love to see someone like Shaw or someone like that. Need a mouthy fella in there!!! |

Need a mouthy fella in there!!!I'd love that too, even Burish. But both were put on the back burner for some reason. I bet either would jump at the chance though. |

I do hope Edzo's cancer isn't back. I do not believe that is the case. Olczyk, 55, will continue his role as the lead color commentator for NHL on TNT and is expected to sign with another team, according to a source. |

How do the people in charge not know how much the fans don't like Colby?

How do the people in charge not know how much the fans don't like Colby? Management has made it clear they are tanking, broadcasters and all! Maybe they think the lower the TV ratings, the better the chances for the #1 pick? |

I feel bad for Vosters.
He thought he would be working and learning from a legend.

Are there horse tracks there? He wanted to broadcast for a better team. Read the article, the Kraken gave him a contract with the years he wanted, Hawks wouldn't. And Nick not returning either |

If the turtleneck twins are the choice, I'll be watching only the opposing teams broadcast.

not the greatest start to the day.
still processing all of this but the fact that nick olczyk flew the coop as well kind've leads me to believe this is more than a business decision (hope i'm wrong here). i thought young nick had a pretty good gig here and they were just easing him into a bigger role. i guess not which is too bad. i would've been solidly behind him taking over from his dad. we know where eddie's going, i will find it interesting to see where his son ends up. seattle would be the obvious choice i guess but for some reason i doubt it.
if cohen has to stay i hope it's between benches or periods. he does vosters no good in the booth.

Between periods is the only way I watch the Hawks broadcasts. If the Turd-le neck twin is reunited with Vosters in any way during the game, I won't watch the Hawks broadcast. At least I can shut off the between period stuff and avoid him. Can't do that during the game. |

Are there horse tracks there? This article says Eddies brother works as assistant GM for the Kraken. Probably answers the question why Seattle |

I think Eddie has too many irons in the fire to be tied down to one job. maybe the plan is to eventually give edzo an office job and give the colour duties to nick? i'm just grasping at straws here wondering why nick would leave a pretty good gig in chicago? |

Sounds like the Hawks are doing everything on the cheap these days. This is why they’re going with inexperienced people. They command less money. Those settlements must have rocked the Wirtz’s to the core!!!

Those settlements must have rocked the Wirtz’s to the core!!! Financial settlements, lack of ticket sales, having to retain salary when they push Kane and Toews out the door. It all adds up! |

Hearing from Powers also pay and term were not very good. Eddie decided not to be disrespected 16 years and then slow rolled by the organization so it looks like it’s his decision. Jamie using KDs playbook then saying they are shocked. Trust me the Wirtz family was not even dented by the settlement. Also Eddie and Ron Francis are good friends another reason Seattle.
