Toivonen is Finnish for little hope. Antti niemi would have been big hope , but his agent took advantage of him. Fire your agent Antti!
Yes, the Hawks signed Cullimore to a 1 year $8 million contract with a player option for a second year at $10 million. Of course if he picks it up we will have to trade Kane and Toews, but it should be worth it!
What are you people, idiots? Cullimore will spend the year in Rockford and only see the light of day if there are injuries on the Hawks defense.
Uugh. Cullimore? There's a reason that his nickname is "The big suck."
