Confirmed with Link: Pirri traded to the Hawks

[Boris Zubov]

Writing was on the wall. He didn't really have a future on the big club here. I doubt he does in Chicago either.

I'm surprised they got a warm body for him. Sikura had a fair amount of hype when the Blackhawks signed him out of the NCAA a few years ago. Hobey Baker finalist twice.

Decent hands, plays wing but was a playmaking C in college. Very slight and soft. He's basically...Brandon Pirri without the shot and quicker feet.

edit: should be noted that Sikura was playing C in Rockford.

Minor league trade. Expect nothing from Sikura. Being nice to Pirri who probably only ever signs with Chicago, Rockford or AHL Chicago for the rest of his career.

Sikura still has some potential, but a lateral trade.

 

[Knightmare]

Game changer. McGM’s showing they are in win now mode.

VGK side of trade

Sikura is pending RFA (with arb rights). (Pirri is signed for next season)

Sikura is signed for next season too.

Sigh. They changed the seasons on me.


Sikura Hopes to Continue Upward Trajectory with Golden Knights

Sakura talks about trade, looking forward to being in VGK organization.

Pirri had to go. Got someone back. Win win.
