That’s wrong, he was tendered a QO which expires tomorrow, it doesn’t effect his RFA status.

Thanks ... I was worried we had another front office fax machine snafu again.

I don't think Perlini did, I know Sikura and Quinneville did, so maybe you're confusing Perlini with Sikura.

Perlini received a QO.

He remains a RFA and the Hawks retained his rights.

I watched a few Denver games last year, to me, he was the best D skater on the ice.

Really fast, moved the puck, played strong for his size.

Understand the NHL isn't the NCAA but I've always thought he was going to be top 4 guy in the league.

I'm not a scout though, just a fan.............

Mitchell isn't flashy. He plays a very disciplined game and works hard to play within the system the coaches want. He won't wow you in a single viewing. He makes simple smart plays but has the talent to push it if the rewards are there.

There’s been no shortage of turnover in Chicago this summer, with the team acquiring Olli Maatta, Calvin de Haan, Andrew Shaw, and Alexander Nylander, signing Robin Lehner, and drafting Kirby Dach, while watching Dominik Kahun, John Hayden, Gustav Forsling, Marcus Kruger, and Henri Jokiharju depart. Yet, the re-shaping of the roster may not be done yet. Blackhawks insider Jay Zawaski of the Madhouse Chicago Hockey Podcast reports that the team is actively shopping young forward Brendan Perlini.

Perlini, 23, is currently a restricted free agent looking for his first deal following the expiration of his entry-level contract. While the big winger was trending towards a nice pay day through his first two NHL seasons with the Arizona Coyotes, the status quo is much less clear since Perlini was dealt to the Blackhawks this past season alongside Dylan Strome. While Strome took off in Chicago, Perlini struggled and only began to find his game late in the season. Altogether, Perlini recorded just 15 points in more than half a season with the Blackhawks and never looked to fully gain the trust of the coaching staff. While it’s obvious that this could cause a rift between the team and player when it comes to contract negotiations, there was never any indication that it went so far as Chicago seeking to trade Perlini rather than re-sign him, at least until now.

With very little salary cap space remaining – approximately $2.04MM according to CapFriendly – and a lineup that still needs three more forwards, the Blackhawks have to be both creative and careful with how they fill out the roster. If the team is struggling to convince Perlini, a player they might not be sold on, to take a deal that fits within their cap constraints, then shopping him makes sense. On the other hand, they could be giving up too quickly on a young player who dealt with a change of scenery but has previously looked like a future 20-goal scorer. It never hurts to test the trade waters and see what the return may be for a player, but Chicago will have to make sure that they’re moving Perlini for the right reasons and for a fair return or risk ending up on the wrong side of a potential deal.

I think it depends on your age, where i feel I've been rewarded to 3 cups, if your in your teens or twenties maybe even your thirties i might agree but for any of us older folks i can tell you how precious they are, before during and after.

I was born a cup year and than had to wait until 2010.........I have a good feeling about this year.

Amen. They won a cup before I turned 1 year old, then I was almost 50 by the time Game 6 versus Philly came along!!

Cool.....

Meh.

He’s young enough that they probably shouldn’t just let him go, but he’s really not shown anything that makes me think he’s worth more than whatever his minimum Qualifying Offer would pay him.

Stand firm and don’t overpay for a guy who had one good 10-game stretch and was invisible the rest of the time.

Speaking of standing firm, Phoenix on the other side of the Perlini trade is basically paying Schmaltz (Mr. I never saw a board battle I couldn't look like I needed to skate away from) the same amount as Saad and a million a year more than Hjarlmarsson!

Ha ha! Very good point!! Makes sense why he was so good at stripping pucks in the neutral zone. He spent 75% or higher of his ice time there!😄😄

He always let the opposing player have the puck, but he was good at following that player and stripping him from behind. He spent 75% of his time behind the guy with the puck and 25% of the time he didn't have the puck he was avoiding contact. his game is perfect for Europe.
