[MurrayBannerman]

I'd say great news, but seriously where are we going to put all of these players.

So is the last name Hjalmarsson like a Smith or Johnson in Sweden?

I'd imagine it's no coincidence that most end in 'sson', IE "son of Henrik", "son of Karl", etc etc. Hjammer is probably not a common 1st name and thus Hjalmarsson is not all that common a last name.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Good ****. Thanks for looking it up

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ek ,, What a lazy effort for a last name

 

[Pepe Silvia]

That time of the month BWC?

I blame Stalberg for my laziness.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I always figured Salo was a common name in Sweden ,, Surprised it isn't in top 100

I think the name Salo comes from Finland to begin with.

Tommy Salo got roots in Finland if that's who you thought about.

Good point

I thought Sami was Swedish as well

Didn't realize Salo was Finnish

 

[MurrayBannerman]

It means oak A lot of Swedish last names consist of two things that you can find in the nature.

Fors = rapid
-berg = mountain

Lund = grove(?)
-qvist = branch/twig

and so on... Ok, this is off topic. Can't comment on Simon Hjalmarsson, haven't seen too much of him to make a judgement.

What is the latest scoop on Simon Hjalmarsson, especially now with rumors have surfaced that Kevin Hayes will not sign with the Chicago Blackhawks?

@HawksCap If you're talking Kevin Hayes I've heard the 'Hawks won't be signing him. Just what I've heard, tho.

From todays game:

Should mean it's somewhat serious.

 

[Taze em]

Yea, he's coming.

What is in his hand? A car key?

What is in his hand? A car key?

"I think there's a slight unbalance in the left rear, could you take a look at that for me?"

 

[SLarmer28*]

"Right, now pay attention Bowman. First, your new car; BMW, agile, five foward gears, ........."

That's a reporter. And his microphone.

Oh, I thought it was Simon.

Patronymic names has not been common use since the 19th century, so you would need to move away from present tense here. That said, you are obviously right and I guess Hjalmar was not a common name back then.

It's 21st in Finland.

 

[LaGu]

Oh, and Hjalmarsson is a great player. There are no guaranties with players coming over late obviously but he is about as good as it gets when it comes taking a chance on a free agent in Europe.

He already plays way above his weight class imo.

 

[Blackhawks]

Whats this none sense about the Hawks not signing Hayes? Man I hate rumors that come out of no where. Just a month back there was an article praising Hayes... People come up with the stupidest things just for the sake of a little attention.

 

[ReillyO]

If the Hawks don't sign Hayes I think it would be because Hayes doesn't want to sign and sits out till he's a free agent, which I think is in August.

 

[hawksfan50]

They dumped off brother Jimmy to FLA..maybe Kevin wants to play with him? Or maybe he figures to be in thevtop 2 lines in CGY with current lineage at BC..Gaudreau.? He plays RW. .with incumbents HOSSA and Kane there in CHI maybe Hayes thanks the best he could advance in CHI is only to 3rd line at best..so better opportunities for top 2 lines elsewhere and then that eventually means bigger money if he maintains in a top six forward group. So not signing in CHI is understandable just on that basis alone..

SIMON HJALMARSSON I believe plays LW..perhaps his agent knows that Versteeg's contract goes only 1 more year after this..So even if he has to play a year in Rockford to get used to the smaller ice..there could be opportunity for him to replace a more expensive Versteeg the following year. OR if his talent exceeds Versteeg next year the Hawks would dump Versteeg off somewhere else..but at least there is some opportunity if he can grab it.
