I think if that were the case, they'd not need the emergency basis thing. Just put Crow on IR, and call up the kid. Anyway, hopefully something minor, no matter who it is.
- mohel

Oh for sure and definitely hope it is nothing serious. Does the emergency basis have anything to do with contracts on the roster or something? Does it give an exception to the total?

They have four D prospects that could be really good, and no one who has more than an outside chance of being a legitimate top 6 forward. I like Bromberg, but hope they find someone with a good chance to being a top 6 forward.
- tvetter

Wings are a dime a dozen. Stick with C’s and D’s in the first round. If the best available player is a D, you take him.

I agree but at least Bromberg has size and can defend as well of course this is all based on you tube clips and evaluations of others.
- Abadseed

doesnt a Top 4 D (if you have too many) have more market/trade value than a Top 6 Forward (if you have too many)? thoughts gang?

what i am saying is too many Top 4 D is never enough

Delia was recalled the first time on an emergency basis. Don't know what that means, anything to do with how many times he can be up and down waiver exempt?

Could be an illness, but they don't play for two days. Coulda done that Thursday to give an illness time to pass. Something's up, I suspect.
- mohel

that is strange why the emergency basis two days before the next game??

hmmmm...

Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.

#Blackhawks⁠ ⁠ announce Cam Ward is out 7-10 days with a right knee injury. There’s your call-up reason for Delia.

•Teams are only allowed four recalls of players from the period between the Trade Deadline and the end of the season.
•A player can be recalled under an Emergency Recalled (explained later)

I think there is the key, if the recall wasn't an emergency, it would use up one of the four recalls allowed.

That makes sense given that they'll likely want to test drive a number of the young guys before end of the year once our playoff hopes are officially dashed. Thanks for looking it up for us.

You should see what I convinced my wife that 6 inches looks like....

How are you doing, Mo?

If a college kid is signed, and plays for the Hawks, that wouldn't count as one of the four, right? It's only for players on the Icehogs?

Correct

Well, the Hawks don't have their 3rd round pick anyway.

NEXT!
- Elbows15

The Hawks don’t have their 2019 3rd rounder. Any offer sheet compensation would involved 2020 draft picks and the Hawks have all of their 7 picks.

If that is where the Hawks end up picking, I will be thrilled with one of Turcotte, Zegras or Boldy. Bowen would be the D-man at that spot. JMO

Cole Caufield or bust!

Honest question for the board....

Is Gus worse as a defender than Karlsson (sp?) was while running wild in Ottawa? He used to get a beating for his defense, too, but how do we compare? Do the fancies tell us anything, or are we to rely on the eye test of various watchers?

Or do we just rely on Elbows as the ultimate judge?

How dare you question the great and all knowing Oz.....he has watched a few games at 4am between smokes.

FWIW Karlsson was just named one of the league’s most overrated players in the Athletic’s 1st Annual Player Poll.

Sounds in perfect alignment with the Hawks’ commitment to their millenial coach and his “disruptive” new scheme - forget defense, this game is only about goals in the other team’s net.

I'd rather they had called up Forsberg to see if hes worth resigning
