[Muffinalt]

Well damn. I remember the Eichel situation being very controversial here too.

And really too bad about Murphy too. Hope he's fine and it'll be a short one.

Johnson was useless anyway Stan took a big giant 5 million dollar dump on his head and enjoyed it, he was so oblivious, I would say like a deer in headlights but I wouldn’t insult deers like that.

We dumped Seabrook and got a 2nd round pick out of it you doorknob.

No big loss, but hope TJ recovers fully. I want to see the kids play more anyway.

Every time I watch the hit on Murphy it looks like a headshot. Just don’t have the right angle to prove it. His head snaps back before he hits the boards.

I thought ovie got the elbow and forearm up too high on that hit. It was a cheap shot anyway in my view. Murphy had already passed the puck. I was hoping to see some payback at some point by the Hawks. I figured Khaira would smoke somebody.

Team didn't want to give any excuses to that psychopath Wilson.

Exhibit A being what he did to Panarin last year.

We took an active 5 million dollar cap dump, Seabrook is LTIR so you can still use that money towards improving your roster. How you don’t see the stupidity of this move is unreal and the 10 who liked your post just shows how people here are so oblivious to what’s happening and thus why everyone has been so hopeful and “positive” when everything about this team has been negative, what a bunch of door handles.

Imagine replying and getting in a fight with yourself

Everyone else is oblivious though. Not him. He's the only smart one.

 

[featherhawk]

hope Murphy is not concussed to bad...

Unfortunately, I have to agree. TJ is not the player he once was and it was apparent in his last few seasons in TB. Another example of Stan acquiring a veteran on the slide out of desperation and hoping he could somehow return to form.

FWIW, I liked the post because of the use of “doorknob”

Come on Bobby

 

[MileHighHawksFan]

Utilize TJ correctly (bottom 6/4th line) and he’s an effective player. 4g 3a on the 4th line in the playoffs is rock solid. Just not ideal for his 5.5 mil. Also how he’d look on blackhawks 3.0 with King remains to be seen.

 

[EmeticDonut]

Honestly forgot Tiny Johnson was on the team.

 

[Pez68]

I'm sure having a herniated disk in his neck, which has likely been an injury he has had for a while, hasn't affected his play at all. Some of you need to try a bit harder to hide the fact that you've never played a competitive sport in your lives.

 

[BobbyJet]

Come on Bobby

Why would Hawks need another player who plays small and would have trouble cracking the top-6 on any team?

This is such a stupid take. Johnson is the right role (4th or fringe 3rd line C) is a 1.5 to maybe 2.0 million asset if properly replaced.
So it’s maybe 3 mill “wasted” to gain a 2nd AND move Seabrook’s 6.5 from LTIR.

It's almost like you're ignoring the real 2 bigger elements of that trade... who would of guessed.

I wonder if this is just going to be LTIretirement for Johnson who was seemingly on the verge of that in Tampa anyway.
