Good contract.

Have to imagine that's the only forward we sign (barring AHL players).

 

[Idionym]

It's win-now time boys.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's good some of the time and invisible most of the time.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Appreciate what our bottom 6 did last year, but Kyle understands they were mostly AHL guys, and he wants a real team this year. Katchouk, Entwistle, Guttman, Blackwell, Reese Johnson, you are on notice.

 

[Joemoe]

He's good some of the time and invisible most of the time.

Sounds like a solid addition for a rebuilding team.

Blackwell and R.Johnson on waivers?

What would Ryan Donato do if he were here to today?!

I'm sure he'd kick an arse or two, that's what Ryan Donato'd do.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Great value for Hawks here IMO at $2M

Hopefully the Foligno, Perry and Donato signings mean end of crap like Reese Johnson on roster

 

[ploppsdman]

Maybe they should have taken Tolvanen for free instead? Meaningless signing.

 

[Wally1112pac]

In fine with it.

He's just a depth scorer.

2 year deal fits perfectly.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If this punts Reese or Entwistle to Rockford I'm all about it.

Richardson would never allow that to happen

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Richardson would never allow that to happen

He coaches the roster given, but yes Entwistle is his sweet angel boy.

 

[TLEH]

Reese is terrible. Entwistle is bad. Donato will probably score 25 next year.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Kyle is still handing out 4 million dollar contracts, just splitting it between two years this time.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Reese is terrible. Entwistle is bad.

I'd rather Reese on the roster just because LuRich isn't putting him on the f***ing PP.

 

[TLEH]

Fair.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I'd rather Reese on the roster just because LuRich isn't putting him on the f***ing PP.

I think we have enough talent now that Entwistle won’t be there anymore.

 

[clydesdale line]

He has some grit and can take a faceoff. For our bottom 6, it's good.

 

[Game suspension]

If you are 27 and that's your best offer no other team wants you lol

Nice

I'd re-arrange the deck chairs a bit and I'd like to see Guttman get a shot over Entwistle - but basically this is the way I hope it goes. Obviously Bedard and Reichel need to play prominent roles but I also like Kurashev and Guttman in the lineup to to see if Kurashev can build on last season and see if Guttman is a legit NHL'er.

Kyle is sticking to the plan. The best portfolio managers are disciplined.

He told us what he was going to do and doing exactly that.
