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.
One writer’s opinion on the top 10 Hawks prospects.
Here’s a link to a video of a Chicago Sports Network podcast with Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumelitis talking about the Kane signing. IMO they have good takes on the situation throughout the podcast.
Boyle interviews Kane beginning about at the 4 minute mark and later talks with Davidson at the 32 minute mark.
Nice work Frenchy. I love these games when the all the young guys put it together and win the contest. The future is certainly bright.
Do we have to round up everybody else?
Are they gone headed to Elbow’s site?
Here’s a link to register at Elbows’ site. There is much more Hawks conversation there and the site is easier to navigate. Dots, Wiz, Frenchy and others are more than welcome to join and engage with everyone else.
I agree Murphy, Dickinson and Mikheyev are the three most likely to go and the returns mentioned are in the ballpark. I doubt if KD will trade anyone if no other team meets his asking price. Perhaps if Murphy and Dickinson would be packaged together, the return would be higher sort of like a few years ago when McCabe and Lafferty got a 1st from Toronto. I’m sure some team out there wants an experienced right D-man and a PK killing/defensive minded depth center for the stretch run.
Freudian slip calling Sam Rinzel Sam Norris, Frenchy? Maybe you expect him to win the Norris Trophy some year. LOL.
