I like it actually

janmark is sneaky good

 

[ChiHawk21]

uh...i wonder if something else is coming? a lot of 3rd line forwards.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Good flip candidate at the TDL.
They're really going with what they have in net it seems, or they're going to try to trade someone for a goalie.

 

[HawksDub89]

Meh... only one year. This does nothing in terms of a rebuild.

Wonder what this means for Strome?

(If anything)

 

[ChiHawk21]

will give us a 2nd at the deadline i would think

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid

 

[Joe Scaduto]

I think Hawks are trading Strome and maybe package with a defence prospect to get a starting goalie or a top six forward .

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I really think he’s going out the door or he would have been signed already like Kubalik. We have a ton of forwards now.

Janmark is an excellent PKer and has zero finish. But he’ll hustle around the ice.

 

[ClydeLee]

Exactly as the reports said after Saad trade, looking for a middle 6 winger to fill that. And here's well a decent PKing forward.

I would hope they still go for Athanisiou

Debrincat-Toews-Kane
Kubalik-Dach-Nylander
Janmark-Strome-Suter
Shaw-Kampf-Carpenter
Highmore

are they tanking? whats going on.

“Rebuild” = I didn’t budget for a starting goalie and need some sort of explanation.

I think Smith isn't playing this year. They can send certain guys down at the start of the season to be cap compliant and then call them up after Smith goes on LTIR.

im saying that forward lineup isnt bad enough to really tank. the defense is and the goalies are. 1 foot in 1 foot out.....for now.

The defense isn't awful either. The goalies, otoh.....

Keith-Boqvist
de Haan-Murphy
Zadorov-Mitchell

is not that bad. It's lacking a true #1D but Keith is still a #2 and all of the vets are NHL D and probably 2nd pairing quality....Boqvist and Mitchell are young, so if you're complaining about them it makes no sense.

 

[Muffinalt]

Always liked Janmark.

But this is solely to flip him for a 2nd/3rd right?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

I just hope we don't do something stupid like trade strome who is a talented, young enough piece movable to address other needs, for an end of the road bandaid like fleury which will do zero to help the long term plan and needs of this franchise

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Janmark is overrated and overhyped trash

All this move accomplishes is taking a spot that could have been occupied by a kid like Kurashev or Hagel

The team is f***ing trash with the most embarrassing collection of trash in net and here we are throwing away 2M+ and a roster spot on someone who has never once lived up to the hype and has done jack shit the last two seasons

Oh and he is about to turn 28

f*** off Stanley

 

[Hawkey]

The hawks basically bought a 2nd/3rd pick at the TDL with this signing. I was hoping they would do some of these signings.

If they're getting Fleury+Krebs/Glass+a pick I'm fine trading Strome for that.
Glass is an upgrade on Strome and NHL ready on an ELC.

I'm on board with a return like that, but I have zero confidence Bowman pulls that off

 

[Cullksinikers]

Good PKer, trade deadline bait.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Decent PKer that might get us a mid to late pick at the deadline, assuming we actually trade for those anymore or if this guy doesn't have a no movement clause.

No team is giving a 2nd/3rd round pick for Mattias f***ing Janmark

Theres absolutely nothing that points to them getting that.
