I'm tempted to say yes. This is getting close to Geraldo opening Big Al's vault territory.

Hawks trade for empty glass bottle buried in alleged vault of Al Copone.

Yes, thanks. I saw that... then I didn’t.

Like he has some sort of standard of verification and the Hawks/Knights rumor didn’t meet it? I’m not buying it.
- Chief4Feathers

Well he still has the Corey Perry to LA rumor after Blake yesterday gave a long interview saying the Kings are rebuilding internally, and are looking to get younger and try and shed their older players.

I think the Hawks have switched to a new target - Malkin.
- DarthKane

Malkin passes to Caufield, back to Malkin, back to Caufield, who shoots and scores.

Tobias Rieder and Ty Rattie will not receive qualifying offers. Both will become UFA

Can't say I'm shocked, he'll land somewhere those (not Chicago).

Because no one agrees on who is the best talent available, let's trade #3 to Colorado for #4 and #16 or to LA for #5 and #22.

Kings say no.

Ek should just retire and hire someone with legit sources.

Someone, somewhere, has an English crime drama plot generator -- and it switches set parts around -so that you get an investigation of a murder in the local woods, of some philatelist, because some rogue member of the local koi club got upset about the loss of parking rights for some local semi-annual Autumnal festival.

I can see something like that maybe being used for NHL trades rumours --- seriously, consider that AI doesn't necessarily mean 'artificial intelligence' but rather, 'alternate intelligence'. . .

Glass Bottle: “I’m really excited to be a part of the Blackhawks organization. From my conversations with Stan Bowman, I cant say enough about how good it feels to have a team go out and make a trade for you. With the security of this new contract, my family and I are looking forward to a long and happy stay in the Chicago community.”

Not to mention to finally be out of that dank vault after so many years.

Just some rumblings on the Draft Floor. Chicago is really high on Kirby Dach. Buffalo loves Spencer Knight which doesn't make sense but that's the buzz. If Broberg gets to Edmonton, they will take him & the PK Subban to Leafs is REALLY heating up. Some I question but we'll see!

He’s itching like something...

If you look at the 2004 draft after the first two picks it was kind of ugly.

PK & Toronto? Hmmmm.

- EnzoD

I know... I don’t want to get too excited though. But he and Cozens are neck-and-neck in my book. I just don’t want to be let down when Stan walks up to the podium (peacocking, hopefully) and announces another player’s name.

Yes, thanks. I saw that... then I didn’t.

Yeah cuz Toronto has $9M lying around and was wondering what to do with it.

Hmm. Add 9M to the Leafs cap? Nylander would have to be going the other way at the very least.

What grade are you in?

TBF, he IS younger than Kovi.

Pierre Le B

Hearing that Carolina is shopping Justin Faulk today after this morning's meeting with the player's camp did not go particularly great regarding a possible extension. He's got one year left on his deal at a $4.83 M cap hit but $6 million in real cash
