Confirmed with Link: Viktor Tikhonov to Hawks

[Sevanston]

Here we go. Salary will be $1.04M.



That's definitely a solid deal for a 3rd liner. Very easy to get value with that cap number.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I was under impression most of Tik's time in KHL was at LW ,, Not C

 

[Pepe Silvia]

That cap hit is fantastic

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

For a million? Hell yes! Love it

 

[Hawkaholic]

I'll take your guys word for it.

 

[HjamSandwich]

Toews
Ansimov
Tikhonov
Kruger

down the middle is mighty stout defensively.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'll take your guys word for it.

Guy busts his ass. You'll like him.

 

[WJSN]

Awesome, another cheap contract. I thought he was going to more than that.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

That is a great price.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Well done, Stanley

 

[Hawks82]

Another versatile C/W with upside that plays a solid 2 way game.

Nice move.

 

[Eye of Ra]

If he plays physical he will bring much to the table even if he is not producing points, his hits are insane hard.

but last season he did not hit at all, just stick on stick.

 

[Spectra]

Great deal.

 

[jrc494]

Sharp/Toews/Hossa
Dano/TT/Kane
Tikonhov/Anisimov/Panarin
XXX/Kruger/Shaw

Great forward lineup, wow. Interested to see what we do with D and Oduya.

 

[zytz]

Well done, Stanley

treason - bowman is obviously the worst, this signing only further proves that

 

[Blackhawks]

Tikhonov was a wing though in the K for the past couple years. I still hope we bring back Richards.

 

[teddy83]

Hate to burst everybodys bubble here, but Tikhonov was hot garbage last season, he was on popcorn duty in the KHL finals.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He also didn't play on same line as Panarin but some people seem to believe he did on HF

 

[Hawkaholic]

Who cares? If he doesn't pan out he will cost 80k against the cap, or maybe has an out clause to go back to Russia?

 

[hawksfan50]

Hey ...we are now a Russian Shop...open for future business heretofore into the future..But we are behind NYI in Chinese players...they drafted the first one in round s8x this year ( though he has been 0laying hockey in Canada since age 10..but Chicago should be sending scouts to China too.now...they have 80 rinks in the country and 20 of them in Beijing...There are 1500 players playing in Beijing alone and when they broadcast the World Hockey Championships semi-finals and Final they got 120 Million viewers..it is only a matter of time before that area of the world starts producing NHL 0layers...Gotta scout everywhere now.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You aren't going to find NHL talent playing in China at a draftable age. You'd need scouts to get in their much younger.

 

[hawksfan50]

SO WHAT DOES THE TIKHONOV SIGNING MEAN? Is he now the 3C or 4C ...does this mean Kruger goes? OR DO they play him.on the wing and trade Shaw? ADDS SIZE ...still need to trade Bickell and Sharp..

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

That first sentence made me open my eyes really wide. Woah

 

[Longwayfromhome]

that first sentence made me open my eyes really wide. Woah

yes what does it mean!?!

 

[member 151739]

Looked up his stats. Can't figure out everything about a player based on stats, but his stats were pretty good.
