He's coming over, or else they wouldn't have signed him.

"Lukas made tremendous strides in his second year as a professional. The game appeared to slow down for him this past season, which allowed his play-making skills to be on full display," said Blackhawks President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Stan Bowman. "Bringing him over to North America is the logical next step for his continued development and we're excited to be able to add such a young, dynamic player to our forward group."

I don't know, gotta make room for Nylander.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

You wanted Mercer over him correct?

 

[Brightwing]

I'm really excited about this kid. The fact that both his team and Team Germany gave him a lot of responsibility is such a good sign.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Unless he kills it in preseason, he's Rockford bound. We have a lot of forwards, no need to rush a young 19yo. Let him get a lot of minutes with the Hogs.

Yes that's correct.

Couldn't believe he fell to us and then we just passed on him.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Looks like I have to cheer a little bit for the Hawks in the near future aswell.
Hope he'll develop nice and turn some heads in Chicago. Saw him play some games at the local club when he was 14/15 years old, had all the talent in the world but was seriously undersized for NHL dreams. Good on him, will keep an eye on how his season in Rockford goes..

We'll see. I won't be disappointed either way. I can't remember, does Eisbaren play on NHL-sized ice?

I thought they were on the bigger ice surface, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

It's larger.
