[featherhawk]

This summer has seemed like it's had very little trades so far compared to years past. It's like GMs don't know what the **** they want going forward so they decide to just do nothing.

wait till Tavares signs then some more movement will take place.

The same Connor Murphy the Yotes quickly moved on from after giving him that awful contract? The same Connor Murphy who looked average at best most of this past year

If Hawks can move on from Murphy contract and find a better defender we should jump on chance

Moving Murphy would at least undo one of Stan's disastrous 2017 offseason trades

I'll give you one thing, man. When your mind is made up about something, you stick to your guns.

Hammer was terrible last year, and oft-injured. And the last quarter of the season leading into the offseason the year prior was the same. Not sure why this doesn't compute for you. He.was.bad. He's a warrior... who is trying to go into battle with an amputated leg, at this point.

I legitimately don't think I've ever met or seen anybody in my life plant flags on hills and die on them at the level BWC does.

It's not even planting flags now. It's building fallout shelters in those hills. And then wasting away in them for 50 years, dying a slow, agonizingly bored death, while no nuclear strike ever comes, or is at risk of coming, and trying to justify it at the same time. All while the people outside the shelter go on living happy, content lives, with not a care in the world.

Well done, sir.

((Bows gracefully)) I'll be here all week.

I always wanted a bombshelter man cave when I was younger. Thought it would be cool.

Hell, I still think it would be cool. Lol.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Probably dating myself here and many of younger fans wont recognize film but when I was younger I wanted a room like Yabbo's in Gleaming the cube



Thought it would be cool to live in a bomb shelter

For record as kid I had a old VHS with Gleaming the Cube and Tuff Turf taped off HBO on it , LOL

Loved gleaming the cube. Used to watch that movie like I watched Jaws. Like every day. Haha. Some early Christian Slater. Thought he was the shit in that movie when I was little.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I'd like to see the Hawks sign Roussel just to see how long it takes Eddie to learn that his name isn't Dominic. Eddie, Dominic Roussel played when you were still playing. I'm sure you scored on him a few times. Try to remember that when calling a game.

 

[Kaners PPGs]

Ok- I'll be that guy.

Can the Hawks acquire Karlsson? If Ottawa is underwhelmed with their offers can Chicago sweep in and steal him?

Boqvist, Schmaltz, and 2019 1st

If the Hawks can move Hossa's contract, they'll have the cap space. Is that enough? Would you?

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not for that deal

 

[migi]

Hell no for that!

Don't think i would do it, after watching him vs our club last season he looked bad. I know he's coming off an injury but we have too many underwhelming D plugs to deal with already, don't need anymore.

Two developments cited in this morning’s Athletic article.

“The Blackhawks are unlikely to sign pending unrestricted free agent James van Riemsdyk, multiple sources told The Athletic.”

“There has been a lot of speculation this offseason the Blackhawks would consider trading center Artem Anisimov, who has a $4.55 million cap hit. He is expected to submit a 10-team trade list Sunday. One source said the Blackhawks would only consider trading Anisimov if the deal really made sense.”

 

[BrianE]

Regarding Murphy yeah maybe he's a warrior and gives it his all but i really think he's kind of slow and a little over paid, if he leaves this club some day not going feel any loss, imo of course.

I think they are going to try increase Anisimov’s value next season.

You have to play him with Kane imo. Where else is his value to this team?

True. Cat - Anisimov - Kane.

Though if they see him as 3C and he plays with Sikura and maybe Hinostroza/new UFA winger, they could click but most likely not that much so his value increases.

f*** that all these UFA wingers like Neal, JVR and Perron wants long-term deals.

I think you do that, and put Schmaltz back with Toews. DeBrincat can be the camping trigger man that Panarin eventually became with Kane.

While you’re pulling Schmaltz out of a center role, you’re making a damn fine first line. Schmaltz and Toews were excellent together a few years ago. I’m honestly surprised we never saw them together this past year.

 

[echlfreak]

Realistically, with all the players available and the Blackhawks lack of cap space. Do the Hawks even stand a chance of making the playoffs next season? And what do the next 3 years look like? Can this roster be salvaged ever?

Kane is still a superstar at $10.5M
Toews, Keith, Seabrook, Saad, Hossa, and Crawford are a shell of their past selves. $40.188M

Tough contracts: Anisimov, Murphy $8.4M

Have some youth in DeBrincat, Schmaltz, Hino, Sikura, Hillman.

Future in Boqvist, Joki, Mitchell, Beudin
