    The post that disappeared on me was about Arty. I was reading the bleacher Nation article and they were talking about Arty.

    The supposed pro analysts give KD and Co, a bunch of crap for not drafting Demidov. I don’t know about you guys but watching a 210 pound plus kid with his ability to skate in all directions so quickly and the other tools, if he understands time and space and when to pinch down he will be a stud.

    The 1st pick of the draft this year looks like a stick figure next to Arty. Guys like Arty are very very rare.

    We pretty much know his floor. The defense is going to take a couple years as you say. Locking Knight up early is to our advantage and also sends a message we’re all in keeping young core guys. As I said, I think he’s in a unique situation where shorter term makes more sense to him. Something like 4x$6.75.

    rpete, do you have any concerns about Knight’s mental issues that took him out of the game for a bit? Do you think that factors in the Hawks’ thinking as far as a contract?

    Did you look behind the dryer? I find everything there.

    You’re hitting on all cylinders, rpete.

    I, too, have had comments disappear when I posted in the comments section that is on the same page as Frenchy’s blogs. These are the comments with the time delay that need some sort of moderator approval.

    The title of Frenchy’s daily blogs also appear in the Blackhawks forum and comments are allowed there. I haven’t commented that way so I don’t know if the disappearing act occurs. I am going to start adding my posts to Frenchy’s articles there in the forum section to see what happens. An added benefit is there is no time delay. Your thoughts are posted immediately so it better serves a conversation among us. Seems kind of dumb to read the blog on one page and then go to another page to comment, but it is what it is.

    EDIT – Make sure you are logged in on the FORUM page. Go to FORUM, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS, select the title of Frenchy’s blog. The first comment is from Frenchy with a link to his blog, click on the link, read the blog, then the comments section at the end of the blog is in the forum type layout. Just add your comment via hitting reply or quote if applicable. Then the comment is posted immediately.

    I also know that when a comment is added it goes to Frenchy via e-mail. He does a good job of responding to each comment, but his replies aren’t addressed so you have to read between the lines to figure out to whom he is responding. (If I may suggest maybe he can add for example @boilermaker, @metalhead, @assman22, etc. at the beginning of each of his responses.) Not blaming Frenchy for the quirks in the system, but maybe he deletes his incoming e-mail after responding and then our posts disappear here too?

    I’ve totally stopped using the “reply” button.
    No matter what, I highlight some or all of a post and use the “quote” button.

    I would not sign Knight early, goalies are a fickle group. I would just let the season play out and see how he handles himself over the course of the year.

    I actually believe Knight is better than Wolf but most likely won’t be statistically for a couple more years until the defense around him gets better with more experience.

    GM Bill Guerin speaks on Kaprizov contract – “I know two things, that info didn’t come from us and it didn’t come from Kirill’s agent, I don’t know where it came from.

    What else was Bill going to say? “Yep every word Frank posted on Twatter is true and we have zero leverage with this Ruski SOB now. Bring on the lowball offers boys!” Lol
