What does Elbows think?

He seems to be on the subject of testicles at the moment.

At least Seth has some pride and heart. Dougie got paid so now he can rest in mediocrity in the swamp for 7 years. How many years till NJ buys him out?

Nothing I've seen on destinations for de Haan and haven't heard rumors on other current Hawks but never know what's behind the scenes and will soon leak.

I believe dehaan will be rostered at the beginning of the season and be flipped at the deadline….

Hamilton didn't cost 3 first round picks and is 500K cheaper and better.

It's official for Suter 2 years... not sure the amount though.
- Popsghostly

Yes, sorry for the wrong info on 3 years. It's in fact 2 years for Suter at $3.25 AAV.

Not a loss, as the year went on was less impressed.

Very possible de Haan is retained. Although he's being shopped, there simply could be no takers.

Risky to have a pair of injury-prone D-men in de Haan and McCabe but have more faith in McCabe staying more healthy.

But if de Haan holds up and plays up to his ability, that's a boon because then he's more attractive to trade if they go that route.

Yet, if he lands on IR again, that's a good opportunity for the youth to step in.

Thanks, Ted.

1. Suter was their kryptonite, makes sense. Wish he was traded, but too late.

2. He looked good in the playoffs.

3. I like Kampf better than the new guy, but our 4th line is the least of our worries. Good dependable player.

Same, wish Suter would have gotten traded like Kahun but water under the bridge now.

Well are
The pope at 3.25 x2
Kampf at 1.5 x 2

Fair contracts?

You think Stan told JC before he didn’t offer Kampf a deal?
Or did he pull a vegas on him and let him find out over Twitter?

I think a pretty amazing last several days for Stan, and quite positive.
He's built a much better team with some smart moves.
The Fleury move is a bit weird, but I expect there's another shoe to drop here. My guess is he ends up wearing a Penguin sweater, with serious salary retention and a high pick coming back.
I dont feel Stan has put Hawks in cap hell at all. He's right up against the cap now for this year, with the Fleury thing unsettled.
But 2022/23 isnt a problem, as Fleury, DeHaan and Shaw drop off, and Maata cap $ go away, saving $16m. Against that, Jones' contract increases $4.5m, so there's $10m+ of room in 2022/23 with no real players getting a monstrous increase.

Good work, Stan. I look forward to watching my Blackhawks this coming year.

Thanks for asking, basically cleared, no more PT, but man is the calf/ankle weak. Gets sore and swollen. Lifting weights, walking 10,000 steps a day. But anyone who has had this kind of injury, and has any rehab tips, would be greatly appreciated.

Well if you look at it that way Jones only cost the Hawks 1 first round pick.
