He's a FA, I don't think extension is possible.

RFA. So, yes, it does.

60% of what DuBois got, I would call that fair.
- LAHawk

Too bad he isn't 60% of the player Dubois is.

Looks like Nagy is calling the plays again.

I thought the rule was 6 in the box you run the ball, both 2nd and 3rd down and goal predictable pass plays and wrong personnel, no Graham

Lazor is just as bad in te red zone. Get Mitch out on the edge with a run/pass option

Wrong. Extension would mean he had a contract for this year already. He didn't. He signed a two year contract, not a contract extension

They'd want Dach. Also he signed with them for two years so he can force them to trade him? I call bullpoop. That whole trade rumor was made up by hockey writers to get some bullpoop discussion going. If I'm wrong and he's traded I'll come apologize to you
- GPHawksfan

You Are correct. Foolish to trade him

I offered. 3.1 mil a few pages back....

Closer than i was, it's nice of him to sign for so little he must of really wanted to stay in Chicago

He had two choices, sit out or sign.

Bears lose again against one of the all time best NFL qb's. Despite getting in to playoffs through a back door, both Pace and Trubinsky might not return next season

Well so many of those offensive playcalls were already recognized by the defense and remarkably no audibles, Mitch had gotten so much better at reading the blitz and finding the hot read but still sucks at presnap read

I'm just happy we have his rights for the next 2 years, hopefully he can become a more effective top 6 center.

I concur with the signing... the issue with him was always his skating.. he had a good half a season or whatever when we got him with 51 points... time to be a man and step up and be a leader on this team and show your talent of being taken 3rd overall... if this is not a stepping stone for this kid then I don’t know what is

He needs to go work with Dach's trainer.

He works out with DeBrinket and his trainer. Maybe he needs JJ’s strength program

Just wait until they have to issue an APB for him cause no one has seen him for a few games. He is too slow. He gives up more defensively than he provides offensively.

With Strome and Wallmark, the Hawks are going to be glacial down the middle. Bowman wants his #1 D-man of the future.

He needs to have leg transplants. Nothing is going to make him any quicker.

When the Saints come marching into
Bear down, Chicago Bears
Nope. It will be a Breeze for them

Can the trainer give him new legs?

Edit - saw the outstanding post by Elbows right after I posted this.

You might have given up on him that's fine, but for a reasonable contract the next 2 years let's make sure he's a bust not because you said so.

Nine prospects playing in the WJC whom Eklund feels could go straight to NHL is the latest daily brief from Eklund

While I agree with the glowing report he gives on these prospects, I don't believe they could successfully step into the NHL immediately.

Eklund should re-consider they would be going up against men. The respective GM for Caufield and Byram have said that they feel their players needed this season for development

I would go along with Lundell, Rossi, and Zegras. York can get a late season look. Askarov should play a lot AHL and see him have consistency.

You whom have been watching the WJC, what do you say

2 years, maybe? - Stanbo will leave Strome unprotected at the end of this season for the Seattle draft hoping Ron Francis bites.

Unfortunately for Stan, like Joe Sakic, Francis knows a hockey player when he sees one.

New blog! A primer to Blackhawks training camp after the news of Dylan Strome re-signing with the team to shore up the center depth.
