yes thats what he said.Didn’t some of this insider information say he is never playing again according to a poster here last year or am I not remembering correctly?
you have to be kidding me.He said he's "not skating regularly". Which is true. Seeing him at Lolla and at a teammate's wedding does not = skating regularly.
You really don't seem to understand how intertwined the Chicago-based men's leagues are with the Hawks organization. They're leagues based out of the Hawks former and current practice rinks. Current and former Hawks players will sit down and have beers with the men's league teams and BS with us. There are a ton of people playing in those men's leagues that are directly tied to the Hawks. Player agents, trainers, relatives of FO members, etc.

Brett Pesce
Adam Pelech
Ryan Pullock
MacKenzie Weegar
Devon Toews
Samuel Girard
Roman Josi
Mattias Ekholm
Kris Letang
Morgan Reilly
Hampus Lindholm
Mikhail Sergachev
Then you end up with 12-15 guys who are on level
Then I got a couple like Thomas Chabot who I think is great young player trapped on god awful team
Is Jones a top 5 Dman in NHL? Because he is paid like one after next season and we paid the price thru trade for him as if he was an "Elite" talent at position
defenseman definitely no doubt better then jones next year.
Hedman
Makar
There are no certainties in hockey, but the list is most likely longer than that for next year alone.
Victor Hedman
Cale Makar
Adam Fox
Dougie Hamilton
Shea Theodore
Jacob Slavin

Charlie McAvoy
Alex Pietrangelo
Colton Parayko

Josh Morrissey
Roman Josi
Ryan Ellis

...I'm almost certainly missing some. There are guys like Chabot and Quinn Hughes that had rough seasons last year, but lapped Jones the year before. If they bounce back, add them to the list.
I don't necessarily love all those contracts either, but for one year? Jones has a lot of names to leap to be a good bet for the odds-on 3rd best dman in the league next season.
Lol what? What does that even mean? Everything in that post is factual information. What do I "have to be kidding you." about? Go spend some time at Fifth Third. I've sat and had a beer before a game and had Stan walk right past me. My brother has sat and had beers with Burish and Mayers multiple times after games. There are all kinds of people involved in the Hawks organization playing on men's league teams out of both Fifth Third, and Johnny's. And even more people involved in the organization passing in and out throughout the day, including players...you have to be kidding me.
I did that exercise already.
Quinn Hughes is definitely nowhere close to Seth Jones.Off the top of my head here are guys clearly better

Quinn Hughes=Tyson Barrie
Definitely great offensively but a disaster in his own zone.
Toews thread
Name all of the die hard Stan fans here.I bet you that the die hard Stan fans would have laughed at me or anyone if they would have proposed that exact same trade before it actually happened, but since Stan made the trade then it’s all good.
Ill name the leaders of the packName all of the die hard Stan fans here.
Provided none of them have you on ignore, I await their response to supposedly being staunch Stan fans.Ill name the leaders of the pack
BK/CH10/AD
There is nothing to wait for, they rarely if ever call any of Stan’s moves very bad or call him out, BK just recently said “he is ok if Stan is gone” but never any of them firmly hate a trade. A response is not necessary and I bet they will deny being die hard Stan fans, just look at the track record, CH10 has his account on private so you can’t even search his history, who on earth does that… lolProvided none of them have you on ignore, I await their response to supposedly being staunch Stan fans.
I think there are two camps in the Hawks fanbase with regard to Bowman. Those that are adamant he should be fired immediately and those that are indifferent. I'm still in the latter category, though I disagree with his moves sometimes I can see the logic usually. With the Jones move, not so much.Ah this stupid narrative again. Blackhawks's proof? My avatar and the fact that I don't cry like a child while calling Bowman a simp (such a moronic insult).
FYI - I said over a year ago I am fine with Bowman being fired.
