I don't care about any other moves this year, this was big, i feared KD would keep S Jones so gratefull he took care of Bowmans mistake and it only cost us a quarter of his salary and we get a young quality goal tender and 1st round pick.

KD with an exceptional move tonight.

Fixed it for you

I’m doing well. Retirement is overrated. I’m looking for something to keep busy. Had a few offers but I don’t want anything full time and I’m not interested in getting back into the IT field, too stressful.

Be a consultant for KD, tell him you'll work for cheap and no benefits

Anyone check in on Elbows? He's gotta be hyperventilating by now.

He loves it but he’s disappointed in the retention.

If there was something available I’d take it in a heartbeat. Talk about a dream job. 😉

Retained more than they should have IMO, I wouldn't have gone over 2 million, but it's close at least. Not a bad trade overall. We got a good young goalie and a decent draft pick. I hope it means we are moving Mrazek, but not sure if we'd have to add sweetner to get that done.

Good to hear. Kinda figured you wouldn't be taking it easy. Bob is always hiring. You should still have that connection open.

Thats the last of the retentions though right?

Only guys getting traded at deadline are the low salary guys.

Donato for a 2nd in ‘26 or ‘27 would be great.

And get what you can for Martinez.

Don’t trade Reichel. No need right now.

Man oh man this is fantastic, no obligations to play him anymore, or him being on the 1st unit PP, I'm sure it won't be easy sledding replacing his 20 minutes but damn those other 5 minutes he's brutal.

Have to agree .Thought we were going to here the same old tired excuse hands tied ,or something like that . Great deal and 2.25 mil retained ,that's amazing .Hallelujah !!

As of right now, it's a pretty big hole in the lineup. Pretty much zero offense from the blueline.

Newsflash. Patrick Kane is still really good.

Hard to see a way to move Mrazek at the deadline, cannot retain so a contract would be coming back. Soderblom might draw some interest though as he is working for peanuts right now.

Had no clue what the market was but really think this is a good return for Jones. Didn't think they would do this well.

Always have other teams that can eat some salary. Hawks have plenty of draft pics to help facilitate.

Mrazek has no value right now i would put him on the shelf he hasn't been the same since he came back from injury.

Not sure where you get your info? Spellacy and Vanacker have one short handed goal apiece so far this season.

Who will be in Rockford next season? Spellacy and Vanacker won’t be playing there. Are some of the college kids confirmed to be signing with the Hawks?
- paulr

You are correct, I had an AI fail. Spellacy & Vanacker had 5 shorties each but it was last season. I stand corrected. Thank you Paul.

Read the response from others on HB- think it’s a terrible trade for the hawks.

He needs to actually be injured. If he is then sure.

Or they can just let him sit in the press box

Put a goalie in the press box? to what benefit? You just have to carry one less F or D.

There was already talk that we'd be maybe carrying three goalies, because of Brossoit coming back, but maybe he suffered another setback? I would think they have to move someone soon.

So by trade deadline who else will KD move? And will a goalie be one of them?

I step away to do some pull ups and listen to Bill Murray on Rogan (starts off with a funny Hunter S. Thompson story) and I see Jones has been sent packing??

2.6 retained? For five years..yikes! I figure the first 2-3 years the 2.6 shouldn't have an impact much..not sure about later though.

Plus,goalie log jam in Chicago?
Is Brossoit hurt more than they thought? He's basically been on sick leave all year. Or,do they have a move in place for Mrazek or Soda?

A couple of trades today, someone wake up KD…
