    (something I posted earlier this summer, before people started showing up)

    A look at the trade for the rotting corpse of Shea Weber(‘s contract):
    ————————————
    March 7th, 2025 (w/Utah)
    Hawks gave:
    2026 5th round pick

    Hawks received:
    Weber contract
    Victor Soderstrom
    Aku Raty (went to play in Finland)
    ————————————-
    June 13th, 2025 (w/Boston)
    Hawks gave:
    Victor Soderstrom

    Hawks received:
    Ryan Mast
    2025 7th round pick
    ————————————
    June 28th, 2025 (w/Florida)
    Hawks gave:
    2025 7th round pick

    Hawks received:
    2026 7th round pick
    ————————————
    Overall the Hawks gave up:
    1.25 million dollars (Weber contract is only $1mm/year real money in the ’24/25 and ’25/26 seasons. Approx. 0.25mm in ’24/25 and $1mm in ’25/26)
    2026 5th round pick

    Overall the Hawks received:
    7.86 million dollar cap hit
    Ryan Mast (AHL D-man)
    2026 7th round pick

    Seems alright. I wouldn’t get too happy or sad about this. Cheap emergency cap floor compliance.

    Could be the Penguins, too. They’ll probably have to retain on someone like Karlsson and/or take money back so they may not need Price’s contract to provide a cushion above the floor. We’ll see.

    Pittsburgh is a decent destination guess for the Price contract.
    They are well above the floor now, but they may be trading away several contracts.

    Tomorrow, September 1, Montreal wires $5.5M to Carey Price’s bank account, leaving a balance of only $2M, even less including the insurance payout for some team to pay him. We’ll see if a trade happens soon. I think CHI and SJS are the leading candidates. Maybe as some pundits wrote recently the trade would be expanded beyond Price plus a sweetener for future considerations.

    I know things can change but all signs point to USHL after the football season then MSU hockey next year.

    I don’t think it’ll be an issue, he sounds like he’s a team player saying he’s doing this for his teammates to win a state title.

    That to me is a staple of hockey players, team first.

    The Tom Kurvers showcase will be held in Minnesota on Sept 13-14. Hawks prospects will play two games against their Wild and Blues counterparts. No roster set yet. Last year the games were streamed so I expect the same this year. Camp opens for the whole team the following week.

    Good idea Boiler. I place to put random Blackhawks thoughts is a good idea. And thanks CoachFrenchy, the blogger we didn’t deserve, but are glad we got.
