You can't tell me what to do; you're not my dad!

Wtf do Hawks fans on CapFriendly KNOW about what direction the team is gonna go?

No offense to you, or others, taking about getting PK88... but this is all premature

Haven’t even heard rumors from any experts about this supposed full rebuild....
have we?

I guess it’s something different to talk about though at least

And i think we’d all be thrilled about getting Kane
At least for a few hours....
then some will start b!tching about Risto & Girgs again 😂😂😂

The team itself used the term rebuild

Connor Brown gets 3 years $3.6M AAV.

We should hopefully get some clarity regarding Ullmark and Reinhart this weekend if they are able to strike deals before their arbitration dates.

And then a trade for Pat Kane

I know some people doubt that Kane and/or Toews will be traded but we've seen this movie before. The team kind of makes it obvious that a rebuild is coming and then let the players appear to be unhappy. The cracks start to show and then the the rumors start. A week or two later the player is gone.

Sunday night/Monday morning. Let's hope Kevyn is smarter than Jason and doesn't throw them all into a hearing.

Bertuzzi, Ullmark and Reinhart are next on the 25th, 26th and 27th.

My wife's name is Patty. An Irishman who's name is Patrick is commonly referred to as Paddy. Not to nit-pick, but growing up in South Buffalo, it's kind of a big deal, lol.

Paddy is a nickname for Padraig in Ireland. Patty is also short for Patricia...Patrick Kane is called Patty Kane or Kaner because it’s hockey and they either put a y at the end of someone’s name or add the er

Rasmus Dahlin is ranked the #2 player under 23.

It’s arbitration.

Player always asks for more then he’s worth, the team always low balls.

Arbitrator meets in the middle 95% of the time.
- Pegullaville

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always thought arbitration meant one or the other. No picking in the middle. He or she picks the players submission or the teams.
A mediator would have leverage to meet in the middle.

Arbitration sets the contract. A mediator would encourage the two sides to meet halfway

Maybe it comes down to the difference between an arbiter and an arbitrator, which i believe was discussed at length here last August. Possibly without resolution. Possibly with resolution. Who can say? Maybe an arbiter could

Once the arbitration hearing starts the team and player can no longer negotiate freely.

Not true. Teams and players can continue to negotiate until arbitration rules (3 days after hearing)

“Brown was scheduled to go before an arbitrator later today. One factor in both sides settling so close to the hearing was the new rule where no settlement could be reached after the hearing began per the MOU. Meaning they would have then had to wait for the arbitrator’s decision.”
