    If Lardis gets better at his defense and understanding where he’s gotta be in the dzone he’s going to have a very nice career in the NHL.

    Greene plays a full season and is just a solid solid hockey player.

    Boisvert hurt his shoulder and never was the same hockey player this past season, he and Bedard can both rehab their shoulders in the offseason….

    And as I’ve said before i can’t wait for these kids to turn into men and that’ll be happening very very soon.

    I don’t think Buffalo will let him go. He was very effective in the playoffs. He really got in the minds of the goalies and defenders. A true ‘rat’ if you will. Mangiapane is the closest that we have in that regard, with Savoie in the minors. But they all have a long way to go if they’re going to catch the King of the Rats—Brad Marchand. Funny that he plays for Florida with the rat thing and all.

    Hey Wiz, what do you think of Zack Benson from Buffalo? He reminds me of Shaw. What are they doing with Savoi?

    Man so many rumors about the Blackhawks. I see it is the annual give up all our prospects for one good scoring forward time of the year.

    I may be wrong, but i did say they would be a better team this year than last year and i was right about that even if they still ended up with the 2nd worst record in the league, i believe they will be an even better team this year

    The way i see it we went from having 2 forwards to 5 that can atleast score 20 Goals in a season. They might draft a 6th, what this scoring ability does is it will give them the ability to actually have a few winning streaks in the season.

    Just draft best available

    I’d have to agree that the Hawks might have someone who can measure to be like Bourque. I wasn’t necessarily thinking that KD would make the offer sheet, but that some other GM, seeing the promise of Bourque and Dallas’ problem of trying to sign their leading scorer, would make this attempt to steal Bourque from the Stars. Low risk offer sheet attempts like this, and St. Louis’ takes from Edmonton and let’s not forget Doug Wilson’s attempt after the 2010 cup. This was more of a possible scenario that allows for KD to make that big splash in the off-season. Anyways I’m still enjoying what’s happening with Hawks.

    Let the rumors begin, supposedly Calgary is interested in trading for the 2nd pick OA.

    Seeing how patient KD is this gamesmanship isn’t going to work. I hope SJ does trade down to the 6th slot but i really don’t buy they will.

    Honestly i wouldn’t mind them trading and signing Robertson.

    Don’t know if Dallas would make a deal within their own division? And it would depend on the price.

    Then we would have 5 of 6 top 6 forwards for now, he would help with the PP and over all scoring.

    Either way, i see this team without a big time trade being atleast an 80 point team.

    I think our team defense will be better with the kids at the blue line getting better and added speed and talent in the forward department.

    I like your aggressive thinking in regards to acqyuiiring more talent, and the fact you are the first person (including media trade click baiters) that has acknowledged the qualitative jump Maverik Bourque made stat-wise.
    And the questions regarding keeping or selling on Robertson kinda decide if this 5′ 11 youngster is a nice addition to a team for their draft picks.

    I really understand that all of us as hawk fans, we want the lines loaded with aggressive guys who fill the mid-six with scoring.
    The question would be if Kyle from Chicago thinks he doesn’t have a Maverik Bourque-type in his group, b/c as I keep saying, there are a whole bunch of bad bananas we already want playing elsewhere and it complicate matters.

    And Robertson, yeah he can shoot….does he bring enough all around game to win? It seems the Star’s thought oin this are what decides if / how much they pay hem, before moving him and he currently makes $7.75 million cap hit.
    Just another teams trying to contend but are watching their wallet shrink as the window gets closer to afding out as a contender.

    Interesting if a team out there offer sheets Maverik Bourque. If Dallas matches, then it makes it that more difficult for then to sign Robertson. That would help the Hawks a lot in there efforts to make a trade with Dallas. If they don’t match, that other GM gets a quality player in Bourque, and Dallas still has to make maneuvers just to sign Robertson. Interesting summer ahead.
