Dufour 152 to the Islanders

Unless I'm mistaken (going off of NHL.com's stats)

4th round, CHI - Michael Krutil - D - CZE - 6'3" 202 lbs.

Not that it matters. Ejdsell was big and he sucked. Same with Mashinter, John Q, John Scott, Bollig, Svedberg, McNeil, etc.

Draft hockey players. If they happen to have size, that's a bonus.

My bad did not see him not having a good day just ranting. Hawks did address speed from th profiles I read.

If Murray has a rebound season in net, Ottawa may have made itself into a 2021-22 playoff team over the last 2 days.

No way

Supposedly, Reichl has gotten himself up to 185, I think.

with all the RFA that are not being qualified and all the buyouts. getting out from under MAATA at $750 retained looks like a really good deal. looks like Cash is king. with that in mind I might buyout smith and use the space to get something good and young for cheap.

Dreger had an interesting quote that I read earlier today. Paraphrasing he said that at first teams won't be trading for players with expensive salaries. They'll look to sign some cheap RFA's that weren't qualified, than pursue some UFA's a couple of days into free agency when they realize the big bucks aren't available. Then maybe you'll see a trade for an high salaried player.

I am still in disappointed shock. I thought we would miss out on the two I had pegged for our best pick...Holloway and Mercer. But, the reason I thought we wouldnt get either, is because I thought they would both be gone. When the Leafs and Habs left Mercer on the board I was elated.....

....just to be smacked in the face by Hawks passing on him....

Jersey must have been giddy. Took them no time to snatch up Mercer.

Now, for years to come, gonna have to watch Mercer flourish, and sigh, groan and weep as I think about the "Pick that wasn't"...

Thinking Jersey may have been giddy until the Rangers traded up and snagged their dman

You know, I was just thinking... and I wonder if they think Reichel is ready to go next season like they did with dach this past season. Just saying because they could potentially part with someone if they felt he passed up Nylander on the depth chart.

Kahun and Kubalik played together in the OHL. Maybe Dominik could help recruit Dominik
..

Pope: Whoa, hello again Blackhawks.

Hawks trade their 2021 7th-round pick to Montreal for the 188th pick this year.

Then they pick defenseman Louis Crevier at 188th.

What kind of trade could the hawks make with Vegas to get fleury? Just spitballing here: fleury Krebs retain 2.5 to 3 million per year to Chicago for a 4th in 2022. Base of trade proposal

Another undersized defender.

What if the rookie is able to play are the NHL level and Nylander surprises us? That would be great

The Sens did not qualify Duclair.

LOL

A good first 37 games this season: 21+9=30

A terrible last 30 games: 2+8=10

Plus their 1st and 2nd we're not being the team to let them off the hook.

Well now that the draft is over,let’s go get a goalie.I still think they will sign Cro.If not trade with Columba’s.

Looks like teams are telling Vegas, how does it feel to have the gun to YOUR head, call us back when you are really desperate. I wonder who is on Fleury's trade list, that also is limiting Vegas options.

Nylander's over under for me is 35.

A fitting end: Louis Crevier is listed at 6-foot-8, 216 pounds. Dear God. #Blackhawks 

Other than Reichl, and maybe Commesso, any lower picks likely to become productive in the Show?

Likely? No. Always possible though.

It looks like Markstrom is testing free agency. Would he be worth a Lehner-type deal?
- DarthKane

If he's better than Lehner which it sounds like, absolutely

Stan’s draft sheet had it as 5 foot 8 118 pounds

But we have the keys to him, might as well put some miles on him and see if he can actually play big boy hockey. I thought he played better at the end of the season into the playoffs then couldn't take the physicalness and began to regress. If he wants to get paid he's going to have to make a commitment in the weight room and physical contact
