Man was a contract slot not an asset.Weird....not that there was high hope for him, but our asset return from Toronto just decreased and we lost a 5th round pick because of it?

Free up a contract slotCould they not have simply loaned him there?
They are at 49 of 50 contractsWithout doing any research I'm going to assume Toronto could only do the trade if we took him back because of contract limit reasons. They could not do a 1 for 2 player trade only a 2 for 2 player trade.
He's a 23 year old ECHLer.What the heck? This is just weird news? I thought Chicago was finding some gems in other teams ECHLers...Hillis, Gogolev and Golod...he even scored?
None of them are really gems. Just guys who will move off entry level contracts.What the heck? This is just weird news? I thought Chicago was finding some gems in other teams ECHLers...Hillis, Gogolev and Golod...he even scored?
And he’s signed for next year as well?He's a 23 year old ECHLer.
He was included in the deal so Toronto could free up a 50 contract slot...Chicago wasn’t interested in him at all...not often a player whose signed for another season is waived for termination...usually their pending free agents...
Then he signs in with Toronto’s ECHL team, where he had been playing, league needs to monitor teams for cap circumvention a bit better...
Not a fan of all this Cap hiding moves, even when it’s Chicago ‘helping out’
Trading a retired Seabrook to TB so they then have years of Cap LTIR, retaining money on players, and now taking players so that teams can still have room to sign college players(Knies) after the deadline
Come On !!!!!!!! The Leafs pick him , a future star for certain.What? Lol. This is not an NHL player and likely never will be. What does this have to do with the cap?
NHL teams are only allowed to have 50 contracted players...the Leafs had 50...so if they wanted to sign Matthew Knies at seasons end they needed to rid themselves of a contract...but sneakily signed him back to a mi no or league deal...What?

It’s nothingNHL teams are only allowed to have 50 contracted players...the Leafs had 50...so if they wanted to sign Matthew Knies at seasons end they needed to rid themselves of a contract...but sneakily signed him back to a mi no or league deal...
NHL teams can only have 50 signed and own 90 player rights...
The Blackhawks have 49 signed as well now that Ryder Rolston just signed(making the Gogolev termination make more sense) but his contract only starts next year...4 of our 49 are what they call ‘slide’ players Dach, Korchinski, Del Mastro and Allan...they don’t count if they remain amateurs, those moving their contracts to next year...
The Blackhawks are at 74 player owned rights...with 11 draft picks coming up his summer and 9 next summer you’d think we’d be over, but there always free agents that bring that number down, but I’m guessing a team can’t just keep acquiring two-three picks for every traded player as it would bring you to that 90 pretty quick

Curious to what the board thinks of Jake Wise and whether he will become a Hawk.....I have to believe thatGogolev officially clears waivers. View attachment 665988
