Bowman wins the deadline!

 

[Mypetrobot]

Meh..

 

[JaegerDice]

69 points in 64 games with the Marlies for what it's worth.

Obviously not a trade made with any intention of improving the team today though, which is fine. Always gotta be looking forward too.

 

[Taze em]

Awesome. Don't have to hear people say Brennan should play anymore.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Dammit, I got excited when I saw "Confirmed".

Hopefully Brennan get's his chance on the Leafs.

 

[blackhawks1229]

In all seriousness, maybe this adds a forward to Rockford so we can move another in a bigger deal

The blockbuster we've been waiting for.

 

[Blackhawks26]

Maybe a move to get Rockford another forward.

Awesome, don't have to hear people think they know what they're taking about anymore.

He'll be a career minor league player.

Ah, my bad. Still, some potential, even if it's just as a guy to fill out the AHL roster. Stan has to find them players to work with too, I guess.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

This really puts the Hogs over the top.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yes, was really hoping Stan would do this one! Big pickup for the Hogs, they needed a little boost, been slacking as of late.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Makes no sense to me

This actually hurts the Hogs playoff hunt. Brennan was big part of PP and transition game

Abbott is just a run of the mill average minor league forward

 

[RyanOhReally]

Leafs fan here,

Abbott was a solid Top 6 RW on the Marlies. He was signed with Bozak like intentions but never panned out. He's Patrick Kane without the extremely talented hands. Worth the price of Brennan though? No idea.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

There really has to be more to this, right?

Pokka, Johns, TVR, Svedberg, Dahlback and Fournier all deserve playing time and to develop rather than Brennan.

As others have said, this could be because they'll be trading a forward soon.

Maybe Rockford is about to lose a forward. Either to Chicago or to another city.

 

[Swervin81]

Leaf fan here. Don't expect much from Abbott. He's just a run of the mill career AHLer that puts up good numbers there. Basically, Keith Aucoin. He's alright, but worth TJ Brennan? I don't think so.

Pokka was already getting good PP time and the most of those guys are not PP QB/PMD type while Fournier has struggled

Hogs making playoffs should be one of goals for organization

aw shucks, Nonis really bent Stan over the barrel on this one. #whocares

 

[Blackhawks26]

You gotta think a Forward on the hogs is coming to Chicago. Otherwise there was really no point to this trade...

 

[HawksFan37]

You'd have to think so.

Either a D man from the Hawks getting sent to Rockford after the Hawks acquire one, and/or a forward from Rockford possibly getting shipped out.
