Friedman linking Hayes to the Hawks. That’s yet another source connecting the dots between the two.

I think there’s more to it than people think, for better or worse.

I’d pass on Hayes.

Bowman did something right? NOT A CHANCE!!!

Nope. The scouts get the credit for the draft and his dad gets credit for the trade.

I'd be interested depending on the term.

Somehow Tallon must have had his hand in it from South Beach.

Is this the deepest on paper the Hawks have looked for goalie prospects in a long time?

Do you guys think Kubalik will wear #81 with the Hawks? I noticed that is his jersey# with his Swiss team and for the Czechs right now.

If they’re gonna keep retiring numbers - I think they have to retire those of the HOFers on the Cup teams - 2, 19, 81, 88.

I’m guessing #87.

That's what I keep thinking too!

If you take the Vinny, Schmaltz and Hartman treades and add them all together, Id say Stan is on a roll. I know it kills the narrative, but no one would've said he could turn those three into what he got out of it.

Is he a better skater then AA?

No way. Hayes, really?

Seabrook probably won't be inducted into the Hall of Fame. but his #7 will be retired also.

I find it hard to understand why they'd want Hayes back here. He was and maybe still is a ME, ME, ME, type of player. Somebody please tell me if I'm completely wrong here. I just remember that when he left, that was the impression I got, based on the media.

Likely correct, but every bit as deserving in my eyes.
I'm old enough to remember 2013!

He deserves it more than Hossa IMO. Hossa was a great all around, 200’ player, and an important piece to 3 cups, but from a statistical standpoint, his best years were not in a Hawk jersey.

Retiring numbers is a silly tradition anyway. If I were in charge, I’d unretire all numbers and just create a Blackhawk Hall of Fame, or Ring of Honor, or some other nonsense.

That question was for giggles, but yes dont understand this Jimmy Hayes to the Hawks talk. He refused to sign as a rookie. Now he wants to play here??

Maybe a Hayes re-union. Jimmy for the 4th line?

Nah.....he just wants to go wherever he'll get paid.
Let's hope it's not here.

I really don't get the attraction some Hawks fans have with Kevin Hayes. Aside from what some may consider a character flaw with his spurning the Hawks after 4 years where he was supposedly going to sign with the Hawk - the real reason I don't want Stan to acquire Hayes is because he's not THAT good. He's scored over 20 goals only once and scored over 50 points only once which was last season when he scores 42 points with NYR and another 12 after being traded to Winnipeg. That's 54 points in 71 games combined between the two teams. Strome scored 51 points in 58 games with the Hawks. He made $2.6M and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get some team to give him $5M+ - I'd rather keep Anisimov.
