[Kevin Musto]

Hawks have used 47/50 contract spots.

Can guarantee that Joseph Cramarossa won't get re-signed.
Can guarantee that Nathan Noel won't get re-signed.
Can also guarantee Ian Mitchell will sign. So that brings us to 46.

Alexis Gravel likely signs. 47.
Evan Barratt likely signs. 48.

That leaves 2 spots open. Shalunov, Altybarkmakyan, and Shea could all sign. I suppose Nalimov could too.

Tuulola, McCoshen, Wedin, Nilsson, and Fortin could also not get re-signed. So they can certainly make room for someone on this list if they needed to.

McLaughlin's signed through next season

 

[Mrfenn92]

McLaughlin's signed through next season

Ok. I know he signed a 2 year Ahl deal. I didn't know if the first year counted when he started for the hogs at the end of last season.

I think Graham Knott's contractcalso expires after this season...would be RFA...simply do not extend hom and that saves another space to add a contract.

Also...would sign free agent Austin Keatimg of the Ottawa 67s...and especially if Hawks are in position to draft his Center,Marco Rossi of the 67s....they click so well together..

Knott was traded to Pitt for Cramarossa

 

[hawksfan50]

You mean Pitt actually wanted him?In either case we are not having to carry that contract or substitution of Cramarossa..

Minor trade nothing more. Penguins moved him because he was the 13th forward. Hawks picked him up for some veteran influence for the kids.

You have never been right about anything on here so I am confident he will sign at the end of this college season like he said he will.

Isn’t that Jay Haller dude the troll that just always bashes hawks players on every trade thread? Wouldn’t even respond.

Yes.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What exactly is appeal of Hawks?

They are terrible team with terrible coach

Why would any young kid want to join this circus and get the Joker treatment?

 

[BK]

It is pretty obvious you are not watching anymore. This team is still fun to watch as a fan of the game. Dach, Boqvist, and the young players progression is interesting. Kane is still a skating highlight.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kane , Boqvist and Dach are about only reasons to watch Hawks at this point (A few others like Kubalik when he is given chance something our idiot coach denied him much of year)

On other hand watching JC coach this team to last place and out of playoff race is certainly something that you cant sell to UDFA

Again why would a kid view coming to Hawks as a positive given team is on way to yet another abysmal season and this idiot behind bench is likely to be back next year?

 

[BK]

You really aren't watching. Thank you for the confirmation.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

You really aren't watching. Thank you for the confirmation.

Actually I am watching plenty and our team is bottoming out with JC leading way

Seriously why should a kid view the Hawks as top option?

You aren't. It is obvious.

The Hawks have a proven track record of giving young players a chance to play.
