so if they can jettison Dehaan and Strome......I'll be very excited.

Not holding out much hope there is a taker for Connolly.....or maybe even Carpenter.

Side note.....very excited Zadorov is gone....may have to have a few adult cocktails to celebrate and can't wait for flames fans to melt down when he's getting torched.

I think were stuck with Connolly and Dehann. Strome I guess either Stan’s holding out for a better offer or if Toews is good to go this year. Carpenter can be totally buried in Rockford

Whose a better contract comparable for Cat’s next contract:

Landeskog or Point?

I like Subban.

Me too.

Curious LBR, do you get involved in prospect evaluations and if so how do you find the availability of fancy stats for these kids at the Jr level? ..... I know there are some from just listening to pregame interviews with a few coaches. They'll mention entry/exit numbers as well as corsi and shot shares.

Are fancies available to you and is there availability improving?
- Mr Ricochet

There's a few people doing Jr and other league tracking now.

There are those who look at making NHL Equivalency (NHLe) better, like TopDownHockey or Hockey Prospecting team.

- https://hockeyprospecting.com/

And those who manually track games like Mitch Brown referenced a lot in the the SCH prospect articles - he tracked Jr, NCAA, USHL, and then WJC. His data is behind a paywall though cause he also works for EP Rinkside. I can pull these charts though if anyone is interested for whatever prospect.

Debrincat's qualifying offer is based on his current contract's last year payout which is 9M. Right up there with Point at 9.5M.

Shocked at both Craig Anderson and Aaron Dell both sightedness for just 750k each

Thee going to take salary back if the move Eichel to hit the cap floor

Landaskog because he a winger and so is debricant point is center imo debricant on his contract I all say 7.5 to 8 million per year for 6 years.

Has to start with a $9 or he is not QO'd.

Or extend him before it gets that far, then it can start with any number.

Feels like old times good to see some things never change

I said that a couple weeks ago when we had umm, ah ha, loads of cap space.

What happens if Fleury refuses to report to Chicago?

Then we get an extra $7.0 in cap space. It’s the second best scenario IMO. Best would be Stan trades him to recoup the 1st rd pick he squandered on Jones.

Doom!

If??? It’s just a matter of when.

Obviously. If he doesn't retire, & doesn't play ... didn't Byfuglien do that in Winnipeg? Doom for MAF.

Probably would not be a 1:1 trade but I'd throw almost anything in we have in Rockford not named Mitchell, Beaudin, Borgstrom, Reichel, and one of our 3rds to get Pitt's lousy #1 pick.

Didn't Fleury have a say in this trade? It's bizarre!!

Had to submit a no trade list of 10 (I believe it was 10 anyways). Chicago seemingly wasn't on that list, and here we are.

New blog! A review of the Blackhawks trade and free agent signings from yesterday.

IN: Jake McCabe, Jujhar Khaira
OUT: Nikita Zadorov, Pius Suter, Vincent Hinostroza, David Kampf

Plus, a brief look at 2020 6th rounder Chad Yetman.

Yeah, a top 6 winger is exactly what they need

Better yet, top 6 "soft" winger....oh, that Dubas....
