Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Today I've decided a player was was crucial for the Hawks in their 3 cup wins.

He was drafted in 2001, in the 3rd round. His carrer starter somewhat slowly and he was traded from the Flyers to the Hawks along with Eric Meloche (who?)in exchange for Matt Ellison and a 2006 3rd rounder that became Ryan White. Ouch.

In CHI, Sharp quickly established himself as a solid 1st line caliber player.

In the 09-10 when the Hawks won the cup against the aforementioned Flyers, Sharp was an integral part of the Hawks' run, putting up 11 goals and 22 pts in 22 games.... maybe PHI wins the cup with Sharp in their lineup... just saying...

His last season with the Hawks came in the 14-15 season, when they (again) won the cup. He was then traded to DAL along with Stephen Johns for Ryan Garbutt and Trevor Daley. How/why CHI didn't at least get a pick back baffles me.

His first year in DAL was very solid scoring 20 goals and 55 pts.

But during the next year, at 34 years old, he started showing serious signs of decline, because in 48 games he only scored 8 goals and put up 18 pts. Would still have been on pace for about 30 pts but still, not enough for him...

He then signed with CHI to end his career, because during the 2017 offseason Bowman tried to get the band back together, bringing back both Saad and Sharp. He wasn't able to bounce back, only scoring 10 goals and 21 pts in 70 games.


Overall he was a very good/underrated players, the underrated of course was due to him playing behind Hossa, Toews and Kane.
