Had good night in Rockford in his short stint as member of Hawks organization



Well, that is something one does not see often. Going back to play as FA to his ECHL team rather than riding out his ELC and making a bit more $

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?

Without 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.

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?

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

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...
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

You are making WAY too big a deal out of this. Toronto could have actually done the same thing with him.

Gogolev officially clears waivers. View attachment 665988
Curious to what the board thinks of Jake Wise and whether he will become a Hawk.....I have to believe that
Kaiser is the first priority and if Commesso decides its time, another priority, but Jake Wise was derailed for much of his college career and had nice season at OSU finally. On the flipside, the Hawks could probably use a Slaggert type of player, but did he show enough to be anything more than AHL fodder?
