I can dig it. And whatever the cap hit happens to be, not like we're going to need to worry for the next two years anyway.

Just release the details in a tweet, don't try to push a podcast like a YouTuber with 40 subscribers, Hawks.

 

[TLEH]

give him the C for a year.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Pay him whatever he wants.

He deserves it.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Good to have him back. BWC will no doubt be complaining about the number when it doesn’t matter for us.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Sure. I'm okay with that.

 

[Styles]

No brainer. How to build a team culture 101.

 

[Drumman44]

How did he sign with a broken finger?

 

[Dead Meat]

Captain material - good move Kyle from Chitown

 

[CallMeShaft]

Surprised by it being 2 years, but not disappointed.

 

[emeyezee]

Yes! The team dad is staying!

 

[Blackhawksfirecoach]

f*** yes

 

[WarriorofTime]

Cap hit is a lot but doesn't matter

 

[Styles]

Surprised by it being 2 years, but not disappointed.

He probably just wants to stay put to end his career.

 

[Pez68]

I like it.

 

[ChiHawks10]

I'm a fan of this. Give him the C next year, and give Bedard an A. Then give Bedard the C the year after, and Foligno the A for what is likely his last year of his career.

 

[EmeticDonut]

Anyone griefing about the caphit can go pound sand. It does not matter one bit. His leadership and veteran presence to steward the new generation of Hawks will be invaluable.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Congrats to Nick. Should be the captain when he comes back to the end of the extension.

 

[clydesdale line]

Love it. Kyle had a couple of misses in the offseason with acquisitions but this one was definitely not one of them. Foligno is grade A captain personified.

 

[giza]

Someone with the right character, experience and leadership qualities....makes sense. Now, let's extend Blackwell for another year, sign Dickinson for 3 years, Vlasic for 5 years and our goalie who has been REALLY SOLID this year.

 

[clydesdale line]

Davidson > Bowman

[Toews2Bickell]

they should hold the captaincy until bedard is ready imo...going toews to bedard is what makes the most sense, roll with all A's going forward and start to mix in Bedard next year

 

[MicronMega]

Great signing! Give him the C until Bedard is ready in a couple years. Easy transition of leadership

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Can't wait for the regular curmudgeons to complain about this signing.
