ParticipantI 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.

ParticipantI 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.

ParticipantMy 7 round MOCK DRAFT is up. (just search: 2026 NHL mock up Draft Lines )

Swede Wm. Hankansson LD

ParticipantI did very well with my first round predictions, with just four guys still on the board.

ParticipantI did well on myfirst round mock, guessing 4 prospects who still are available.
Search: 2006 NHL Mock up Draft Lines

ParticipantI guess KFC didn’t think much of the first round talent since he didn’t try to get back into it. Glad he got rid of Burakowski. Hope he can do the same with Mangiapani.

ParticipantHonestly watching this draft i feel better that the Blackhawks traded for Byram now, so essentially they drafted him with the 4th OA pick. Kind of glad we had more to offer than San Jose
June 25, 2026 at 9:00 pm #75920BetweenTheDots
ParticipantAnd they didn’t give up any of their young forward prospects to make this deal happen.
June 25, 2026 at 8:58 pm #75919BetweenTheDots
ParticipantYou know the more i think about it the Blackhawks traded a 3rd pairing dman for a top 4 dman who is entering his prime.
Vlasic and Byram
Kaiser and Arty
Del Mastro and Rinzel
KorchinskiWe’ll see how it goes but it does look like he makes our dcore better, i do hope he does grow more defensively in his own end since he’s not 27 yet.
I am happier that he’s a 25 year old player instead of a 35 year old defenseman.
