Speculation: TT

[BK]

Someone posted a TT for Derrick Pouliot trade on Cap Friendy. Pens fans seem open to that, is that the type of D the Hawks would be looking for?

I'm not taking a stance on this, just curious about what you guys think.

I wouldn't do it unless we are moving Seabrook. We would create logjam for Pokka and hurt our forward depth.

 

[JaegerDice]

I'm not ready to give up on TT, but if there's a deal that makes sense then move him. He's not core.

That said, I don't see you getting a better forward via any trade.

 

[Bubba88]

why trade a 21 year old cost controlled 35 pts Player, who is playing solid D and can Play all 3 Forward positions?

 

[pamela2]

like to no

what trades will Chicago make at the draft.

 

[BK]

Q said TT needs to be more consistent next year. A summer of training should help with that.

because hes not very good and still has value

Doesn't he have military duty to fulfill this summer?

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I think I am stronger than Teuvo.
He really needs to do something about that.

Not sure how he's going to bulk up or work on his game when he has to serve in the military this summer.

He can choose. It might help him because from what I have heard it is strenuous.

This is the reason why you trade Brent Seabrook, not TT.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seabrook is untradeable with that contract

If you are a pro athlete you can get by by basically doing your regular off-season program with some time spent doing target practice and playing war in the woods.

Dion Phaneuf was untradeable

Teräväinen is not very good?

 

[BobbyJet]

Teräväinen is not very good?

Until he gets stronger on the puck, with the will to compete at an NHL level, TT will be ho hum. Right now, his game is attuned to hockey overseas on the big ice surfaces. I won't be surprised if that's where he ends up.

 

[ChiHawk21]

Teräväinen is not very good?

are brian gionta cody eakin jonis donskoi and alex tanguay good?

these are players with the same point totals....also not just stat watching but has looked bad or invisible doing so.

I understand that hes young i also understand accepting a loss while you still can get value back.

He doesn't have to do it yet, one can choose when to serve until age 30. I haven't seen any stories that he will serve this summer.

I was very disappointed in TT this season. There is something very frustrating about watching him play. It will be interesting to see how he responds. I hope he joins the Worlds team, plays well and gets some confidence back to his game.

Q trusts TT and he's never had a chance to stick with linemates or a line.
Since he doesn't rack up the points, he's going to be easier to cost effectively extend. Teravainen should stay, he's going to take more than another year to develop in my opinion anyway. Maybe all the volatility with the lineup sped up that process for him, who knows?

 

[Hawkaholic]

Definitely not opposed to TT sticking around, but if we can pry away a young Dman with some pretty high upside that can slot into the #4/5 slot I would probably pull the trigger on it. Just not sure what Dman like that could be available.

That's part of the reason I don't think he goes or should go.

Any all situation 2nd pair type, with cost control for years, isn't going to be available for a developing forward in my opinion. Those teams will trade off the vets instead.

Maybe one is available, I just have a tough time seeing a scenario that would work out for both teams.
