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
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.
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.
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.
You know Wiz i love hearing what you are saying.
I also enjoy that we didn’t have to develop him, 2 other teams did that.
I gotta say i am thrilled that our kids are not being glorified by any of the analysts.
You can measure skill skating and other traits but you just can’t measure the desire to be the best. And if one desires to be the best to me that translates to compete on the sheet of ice.
I also sense so many of the analysts don’t want to see this style of rebuild work, well i got news for them not only is it going to work, it may become something special.
It’s going to be great to see 88 on the ice with the kids, this is going to be at times frustrating but a lot of fun.
I’ve followed football my entire life and one of my main complaints about the Bears in the past was they draft these talented players but dammit they really don’t draft football players? Hopefully KD continues to find those diamonds in the ruffs like Greene, Kantserov, Lardis, it’s difficult to hit in the 1st round but damn to hit later than the first every season is really fricking impressive.
Can’t wait for the season to start.
Bowen Byram has only 4G and 13A in his career on the power play, that’s crazy
My guess is he’ll easily pass the apple mark this season alone being on the number 1 PP.
You know i never understood why the Islanders traded away Devon Toews, the reason i think of him is because when i think of an NHL comp to Bowen Byram, that’s the guy who comes to mind.
Another crazy thing is Devon didn’t start playing in the NHL until he was 24 years old. His best years were age 27, 28, and 29. Another stat that i find crazy is as good as Byram is offensively he’s only got 4G and 13A in his CAREER!
The more i look at the numbers this may turn out to be an outstanding move by KD.
I read somewhere that the Blackhawks may just keep Rinzel in Rockford this season, which in turn they can keep Byram, Vlasic, Cole, Kaiser, Arty, KK and EDM on the big club.
Based on the players strengths i definitely see Vlasic and Byram as the top pair
Cole will pair with either EDM or KK
Sounds like Kaiser and Arty have been in Chicago training this summer. Curious to see where Artys game goes this will be the first time he will be in the same city for 2 years since he’s been 15 years old?
