A 7th for a 5th?

Decent pick upgrade from Stan.

 

[migi]

LOL STAN IS ON FIRE!

 

[RememberTheRoar]

A 7th for a 5th?

Decent pick upgrade from Stan.

That’s pretty much where the win is here

 

[ReLyT]

Why not try him out and upgrade a pick.
No brainer

 

[Section88]

The big get is the pick swap

 

[idontusethisanymore]

There needs to be a Coca Cola machine installed in either the United Center or the BMO Harris Bank Center, depending on where he is assigned to. That will get Koekkoek his "Coke-Coke".

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Thank god Stevie Y isn’t there anymore to bend us over.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Zero downside to this trade. It’s at least one win, a potential for two wins if Koekkoek can stay in the NHL.

Stan, just took a buried $2.25M 28 years old D and turned it into a $865k 24 year old RFA D plus a 5th round pick. The 5th alone was worth it

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Cool.

 

[Rooh]

Blockbuster.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Is Koekkoek going to get a look? if so, does Davidson get waived?

 

[Section88]

I doubt davidson gets waived. I think hes been pretty solid

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I doubt davidson gets waived. I think hes been pretty solid

Forsling back to the Rock?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Forsling back to the Rock?

Forsling should’ve been sent back regardless.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I doubt davidson gets waived. I think hes been pretty solid

He already cleared waivers

 

[RememberTheRoar]

“Excited” to see how @Blackhawks tries to poke holes in this very clear minor win by Stan.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Stan’s a new man since canning Q and hiring his guy JC.

 

[echlfreak]

Just saw Koekkoek was drafted 10th overall in 2012.

Its almost like Stan is adding ex-1st rounders to the roster.
Strome
Perlini
Koekkoek

If he can keep doing this while adding draft picks it seems like a positive solution.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Keep them coming Stan. Lets keep adding youth and picks for our trash. Kunitz, you ready to waive...KFC, how bout you...

 

[canucks20]

Love this trade for you guys. Wish Vancouver got him for that price

 

[CallMeShaft]

Neat. Changed a 7th to a 5th. Cap space means diddle for me this season.

Apparently this Koekkoek guy (who I am giving the nickname of 4K) is a 24yo former 10th overall pick. Let him play in Rockford for the rest of the season, sign him for under a million this offseason, and see if he surprises in preseason.

 

[Section88]

He already cleared waivers

Youre right

Bowman just tearing shit up - I will say this, he certainly isn't shy about fixing his mistakes...first Manning and now Rutta...that 5th round swap might not be massive, but it certainly gets us another better lotto ticket here...good job Stan Bo - A+ work since the year has started
