You sure about that?Says he wants to play but that's all. No welcome message or that he's excited to play as per usual today. And it took him days to figure out whether to retire or not. Again, I called all of this. The rest we'll find out over the season. I'm sceptical. I've been right about what went down after the trade so I'm probably right about the rest, too. I'd be surprised if he's at his best but we'll find out. Certainly no reason for excitement right now.
Also, I laughed reading that nbc article, sounding like Bowman was generous and such a nice bloke giving Fleury time. As if he ever had a chance. Fleury could have screwed Bowman to a point where it could have cost him his job if he wanted to. Had Fleury delayed his decision until preseason, I'm not sure Bowman could have done anything about it. Fleury had him by his balls.
Bold statement for such a pale guy.I posted weeks if not months ago that Fleury would probably retire or sit on his ass and shit the bed if he's moved. Did Bowman really think he'd be motivated to play for the Blackhawks? After all of those comments about not wanting to go anywhere?
We'll we appreciate it that you're not.If I'm Fleury, I'm not helping the Blackhawks by making a decision soon. Why should he? So the Blackhawks can free up cap space for Free Agency?
That's Stanley's problem, not Fleury's.
Bowman haters continue to make me laugh.
Hate bowman. Love this off-seasonBowman haters continue to make me laugh.
Hope this is true with the fact that Fleury plays well.Lankinen is gonna outperform Fleury, this pickup is gonna look stupid real soon, that money could have been used better…
Say what you will, but it's pretty clear the Hawks run a top notch organization. Players 100% still want to be here.
Crow's age wasn't the thing that stopped him from being re-signed, it was his concussion history. If he was healthy, the team would've likely tried to arrange the cap last season to make it work.Stan's absolute biggest strength is how he is with the players imo. So patient and never pushes the wrong buttons.
Only sad about the Crow situation. Have to imagine he feels a little bad about going with a same age vet just one season after he was shown the door.
Last season's results obviously changed a lot, but still.

The thing people forget especially with goalies is how hard that 2nd full season in the league really is.How would you have spent the money?

Just look at Carter Hart and his struggles.
Getting MAF here was absolutely huge if only to help take pressure/weight of Lanks again. They can do a 50-50 split for all I care, but from ALL accounts, MAF is a tremendous teammate and mentor- his presence here alone will help Lanks out long term. There is no better way we could have spent that money to fill the net IMO. Especially with it being a 1 year deal....with maybe an extension depending how well he does...who knows.
- How is this team significantly better than the team with Crawford/Lehner?
- Aside from Fluery, when did Chicago weaponize their cap space?
- They FINALLY had a break from a ton of bad contracts. It lasted five minutes.
- Chicago mortgaged a significant part of their future to spend 9.5 million on Seth Jones.
- The biggest issue I have is instead of acquiring under valued assets this past year (Ned from Carolina, Bennett from Calgary) Chicago is overpaying for EVERYTHING.
- Chicago lost assets - like Suter - for nothing. That is NOT maximizing assets.
- I don't think this is the path to sustained success; this is a path to save your butt. And that road never works out for the team.

Mental midget? Why do I think this is another one of Leafer's 'I hate Swedes' rhetoric?
