Perlini and Quenneville are back per Bowman.
I'd imagine Kampf will be as well.
I think they'll qualify but seek trades for Forsling and Sikura. If they can't trade them, they'll walk away in arbitration.

Ejdsell signed in Sweden recently.

I believe Bowman said they were working on a contract with Sikura.

Yes but we can still qualify him to keep rights if that was what Hawks wanted to do thinking he would try to come back in future

I was thinking he’d get a shot before a lot of guys at the beginning of the season just by having that relationship with Coliton. So my assumption is that nothing he did impressed enough for a call up. I can’t see him having much of an NHL career at this point and especially with Chicago.

Forsberg I let go. Obviously

Players in bold are re-signed. Louis and Johnson are likely just guys to fill out Rockford, but the organization needs those types of players there, so they'll get brought back.

Most of the others will be on the Hawks come October, with the possible exception of Forsling. I like Forsling, but with the amount of defenders we currently have, Bowman will have to make a choice there. If we can get some decent value (2nd?) for Forsling, I think he's re-signed then traded. If teams aren't interested, he'll likely be here and we'll just waive/trade one or both of Dahlstrom Koekkoek.

Forsling is the only one who I have no idea what they're gonna do there (and maybe Hillman since he hasn't been long in the org).

Perlini, Sikura, Kampf are likely back and they will qualify Quenneville. The rest are likely gone (couple of good soldiers there in Rockford in Louis and Johnson. I wish them the best if they do leave).

According to Scott Powers most recent article.

Anthony Louis, Blake Hillman, and Spencer Watson will not receive a qualifying offer.
Gustav Forsling, and Anton Forsberg will, but where they play next season is up in the air.
Edjsell will, but will be playing over seas.
Kampf, Perlini, Quenneville, and Sikura have received QOs, but will work out a deal with the Hawks.
Unclear on Luke Johnson, but would be surprised if he didn't receive his.

Surprised a bit by Hillman not getting one. Maybe it's a numbers game for him on the back end with Rockford. Louis is a mild shock. But lots of young forwards starting their elc's this year. Watson none what so ever.
Forsling and Forsberg should net low round picks. Edjsell still worth waiting on. Johnson would be surprising just from the fact he would seem like a good option to take over the "C" in Rockford.
Kampf,Perlini,Sikura and Q are easy decisions.

Thank you. Sorry for the bother.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Apparently Watson, Louis, and Hillman are for sure gone

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Louis sorta surprises me because he has been productive for Hogs and with Edjsell + Holland going back to Europe I would think Hogs would need a guy like Louis on roster

Honestly wanted to see him get a look from Hawks these past 2 seasons

Courts gonna be pissed over Louis...

 

[piteus]

How can Kampf even be a question? That kid belongs on a NHL roster.

[Kipper933]

Blackhawks qualify RFAs Perlini and Quenneville, part ways with 4 minor-leaguers

Kampf not qualified, but still negotiating.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Kampf will probably be back on a two year deal

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I gotta believe they see Kampf as the Hawks 4C for the next few years.
He's very well suited for the role.

Unless he gets a better offer from another club for more money or longer term which IMO he will.

pretty big mistake on Stans part here IMO.
