Hopefully our young guys follow suit like the Habs’ core; they get it, unlike a Cutter Gautier type.
Nazar talking about how the players are all in on the rebuild and taking a little less than market value because they understand you need a bunch of pieces to win hockey games? If so that’s fantastic.
Haru for the lack of a better phrase, i think it’s crap.
But then again it’s great seeing a poverty franchise player get an $18m offer sheet and the guy they traded for wants to get paid as well, i guess i shouldn’t be greedy and have to see them squirm under the cap.
Bye bye depth
I don’t necessarily think the Ducks did anything wrong; it’s just lucky for them that Kreider wanted to go back close to home and was willing to terminate his contract. Not too many players terminate their contracts to become free agents. Saad did it, cause he wasn’t playing in St Louis, and he gambled that he could sign with another team(LV). Larkin on the other hand wouldn’t do it because he’s being paid a lot of money for several more years, and Detroit wouldn’t allow it because they would be devoid of talent from replacement player(s). Same for Hellebuyck. Just a special circumstance that works for both sides I guess.
The Ducks depth is going to shit but every team should have to face the same consequence for signing a guy to a bad contract.
That is bull shit, the Ducks should be on the hook for at least the buy out price for Kreider.
NHL still can’t get things right
I gotta say it was smart for KD to sign and play these kids early out of college, it looks like Greene, Moore, Rinzel for next season can’t sign an offer sheet.
Boisvert too when the time comes. They are ineligible for offer sheets because when they burned the first year of their ELC’s they did not play the required 10 games to earn, by NHL rules, a season toward free agency. That’s the good news.
On the other hand Frondell (played 12 games his first ELC year), Lev (18 games), and likely Kantsreov can be offer sheeted when the time comes. Next summer for Lev, then Frondell the following year, then Kantserov the next year.
I think this site like hockeybuzz is having little Blackhawk traffic other than the same fans hanging around.
I imagine once the Blackhawks start winning that’ll begin to change. Until then we get treated like the redheaded step child.
Most of the HockeyBuzz crowd is over at BlackHawk Buzz. I could do without a few of the posters there, but all in all it’s a good site for Hawks discussion. I can post a link regarding gaining access there if anyone wants it.
This site has had it’s growing pains – comments being lost, spam posters left and right, etc. Frenchy was a great writer. Hope he’s well and just found employment elsewhere. His leaving is probably another reason why so many of us who began here went elsewhere.

On another note, Zeev Buium got a nice increase of $9.4 per
It’ll be interesting to see what Arty ends up with, i got a feeling he’s going to progress to a better level than he played at last year, It’ll be bittersweet if he finds his lane and becomes a stud this season, we most likely make the playoffs but he’ll get a big fat contract.
