Blackhawks have recalled forward Dominic Toninato from the IceHogs.
Toninato, 31, has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 24 games this season with Rockford. He appeared in 20 NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets the previous three seasons combined. The Blackhawks signed Toninato to a two-year, two-way contract on July 1.
I’m not wild about the fact that, without a callup, they have only 12F and 6D healthy.
Only need 12/6 for Wednesday and can callup someone for Friday if needed. Hogs are in Iowa on Wed night and home on Fri night.
Would like to see Rinzel/EDM pairing in Rockford.
Just look at the Jets, 2-5-1 since Helly got hurt?
Wonder if they’ll get in on the Brossoit sweepstakes. He played very well when he was with their club.
Here’s another game where i see the opponents bench and they are huffing and puffing
Kings are a very old team and most of them have never been known to have high stamina. They only have 6 skaters under 29 and 2 of those are 4th line/press box weiners lol
2 goals in 2 minutes, nice shot by Moore.
And bupkis since! Let’s go!
Expected Lineup – Chicago Blackhawks
Ryan Greene — Connor Bedard — André Burakovsky
Oliver Moore — Frank Nazar — Tyler Bertuzzi
Ryan Donato — Jason Dickinson — Ilya Mikheyev
Colton Dach — Landon SlaggertAlex Vlasic — Louis Crevier
Wyatt Kaiser — Artyom Levshunov
Matt Grzelcyk — Connor Murphy
Sam RinzelSpencer Knight
With Hawks needing to get to the salary floor next season and having a $30 million gap to do so, there’s been rumors of bringing in a big vet with a large cap hit like trading for Stamkos to help bridge said gap. Stamkos has a $8 mil cap hit for two more seasons. Problem is his production has fallen off since joining the Preds however there is another horse in the race the Hawks may be inclined to bringing in on a short two year deal without trading assets: Artemi Panarin.
Breadman is still a ppg player and could play top line with Bedard and Burakovsky or 2nd line with lil Frankie and Turbo while Bert bumps back up to 98’s line. Panarin adds a scoring threat this roster really needs for both 5v5 and PP.
I don’t see any forwards in Rockford this year that’ll make the jump next season. Not even Lardis. Maybe Frondell but he’s currently playing 3rd line in Sweden so yikes. Vanacker, Spellacy, Kantserov, and possibly Pridham will be added to Hogs roster but will need at least a full season in Rockford before they’re potentially viable options. Seems to be a 2 year gap before a wave of legit prospects are ready to push for NHL spots so a 2 year deal for someone like Panarin would make a lot of sense plus re-signing Mik or Dickinson.
By point per game %, Tankathon has the Hawks out of the playoff picture. CHI with the 11th pick and Florida with the 12th.
Package them and move up to top 5?
Articles out there on Chicago moving Crevier. If we do we won’t just give him away. I think Murphy is more likely to be moved. I wonder how many scouts are watching Rockford games?
Guy on Twatter that spun that web has Crevier for Jarnkrok (34 year old nobody) lol. Also thought Hawks were running 11-7 to “showcase” Crevier. Roll eyes emoji. I would do Crevier for Dakota Joshua though and opens up some space for Leafs but more likely Kyle would center the trade around Crevier for Robertson in some fashion, if it actually happened. Trading with Islanders and their large stockpile of young forwards would be to my druthers.
Are the Blackhawks recalling anyone from Rockford to replace Foligno?
It really doesn’t seem like it. Find out at morning skate but seems like they’re hoping Dickinson and/or Bert will be able to go. I don’t understand the harm in calling up Toninato so everyone gets healthy but I’m not in the room.
