Now that we have Greenway i wouldn’t mind if the Blackhawks signed Gudas, we need some nasty on the blue line
Interesting tid bit for Buffalo the Sabres made the playoffs this past year and looking at the top 4 young dmen on the team they all had played over 200 games in the NHL to start the season.
Byram 328 games
Vlasic 260
Kaiser 175
Korchinski 105
Arty 86
Rinzel 63
Ethan Del Mastro 45Based on this theory the Blackhawks are 2 years away from the playoffs, those dmen are babies.
Another thing, Bowen played just over 300 games so as upset as i was with the trade, it’s kind of nice to trade for a defenseman who’s best years are in front of him and have other teams develop him.
If Rinzel and Atry take steps this season we will be really good some nights especially with the addition of 2 more top 6 forwards in Frondell and Kantserov.
Hoping Spellacy shows well so we can have a 4th line of Greenway, Spellacy and Boisvert.
I think San Jose wanting to trade #9 and 27 to Buffalo for Byrum was their Plan A. I think KD and Grier both had the same idea—-this is our opertunity to get a young #1 Dman NOW. KD beats Greir to the punch and avoids having to pick a Dman who probably won’t be available to the Hawks for another 2-3 years. Sharks’ Plan B is now Keaton Verhoeff. Unfortunately for them, you don’t want to wait several years and find that your young top 10 pick dman turns out to be Mike Rathje for them or Cam Barker for us, both 3rd overall picks.
I also think it’s crazy how fortunate San Jose has been. I think Celebrini is a wonderful player, but they trade away Eklund, draft Stenberg.
So they trade away a top 6 forward to draft a top 6 forward. I believe Stenberg was on one of the best teams in the league not to take anything away from him but even in the world juniors Frondell was named the best forward.
Now if it’s true they wanted Byram and they were going to trade 9 and whatever, they really can’t be happy with eating those picks and having to develop 2 defenseman.
I know this may sound crazy but could the Blackhawks on July 2nd sign Bedard to a one year deal for $20 million dollars, then on the same day sign a 7 year contract at $12 million dollars per year? This way Connor gets him money and we get future cap relief.
I know people are saying Greenway was a throw in, i didn’t know he had sports hernia surgery twice because the first one didn’t work? Was finally painfree at the end of the year for Buffalo. If we get the same guy i saw in the playoffs for Buffalo I’ll be very happy with him, we need a wrecking ball on the ice.
My 7 round MOCK DRAFT is up. (just search: 2026 NHL mock up Draft Lines )
If I am on the scouting staff, I take the two BPA in the 2nd and hope a THIRD name is on the board in the 3rd unless you take the goalie I have there:
You can take take a DEFENSEMAN who needs a long runway:
Swede Mans Gudmundsson RD
a big Russian Nikita Shcherbakov LD
Finn Samu Alalauri RD
Canadien Ben MacBeath LD
Canadien Giorgos Pantelas RD
Swede Wm. Hankansson LD
Czech Jakub Vanecek LD
USA Luke Schairer RD
USA Timofeii Runtso RD
Canadien Brek Liske RD
Chicago Steel’s Jayden Kurtz LDThese players are not the biggest forwards big forwards I think are scorers with hockey heads.
Mathis Preston RhLW-RW
Adam Valentini C/W
Marcus Ruck Left Forward
Yegor Shilov C/LWBig wingers
Casey Mutryn RW
Ryder Cali C
Niklas Aaron Olsen LW/LHRW
Ryan Roobroeck C?LWBig Centre
Brooks Rogowski 6’7 236lbs.I did very well with my first round predictions, with just four guys still on the board.
