The Chicago Blackhawks have already completed all five of the games that were schedualed for Febuary. They finished the month with a 5-2 record. They only played five games in this month becuase of the fact that the 2010 Winter Olympics are currently going down in Vancuver. The blackhawks have plenty to loose in the winter olympic games becuase they have six players who are participating. Tomas Kopecky and Marian Hossa are Playing for team Solvakia. Patrick Kane is one of the young stars for team USA. Finally, Jonathon Toews, Brent Seabrook, and Duncan Kieth are playing for Team Canada. The Hawks can only hope that all of these players come back to the team healthy and are not too fatigued.
The Bulls made two big deals before the NBA trade deadline. The Bulls started off by trading John Salamons to the Miluwaki Bucks for Joe Alexander and Hakim Warrick. Along with John Salamons the Bulls also gave up their second round draft pick. Also, the Bulls made a last second deal that sent forward, Tyrus Thomas, to the Charlotte Bobcats for Acie Law,and Flip Murray. In this deal the Bulls also recieved a furture first round draft pick. Although none of these players are starters or consistently good players, this trade is great for the Bulls becuase with this trade they have picked up 3 expiring contracts and gave up Tyrus Thomas who has a very large contract. With these moves the Bulls have given themselves 16-20 million in salary cap which is going to be very important becuase of the 2010 free agent class. After next season, their is a possibility that big names like Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudamire, Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, Paul Pierce, Manu Ginobli, and David Lee. These moves put Bulls into great position to get one of the top five players of this free agent class. The Bulls now have the money, but also might have the most to offer one of these players becuase of the fact they are a playoff team filled with young talanted players.
