BTW, Kantserov with a goal in Magnitogorsk’s 5-4 win. He has 3G and 3A in their last five games after being held scoreless in the first two.
It would be nice if he signs here next year. Maybe he’ll play a while at Rockford to get used to the smaller sheet of ice and become a contributor later next season, or more likely the 27-28 season. By that time, assuming Frondell, Moore, Greene, Lardis, Vanacker, and Boisvert are on the team or close to making it, and along with Bedard and Nazar, the top nine should be pretty well established.
Greg Boysen, hockey writer formerly of Chicago Hockey Now, has a new podcast out The Second Balcony. Here’s a link. It focuses on the up and coming young D and the early days of camp.
That’s weird i don’t see what you’re talking about
No? Go here and see if you see of a list of spam forum topics touting airline tickets and schedules.
If you haven’t noticed there has been a spam attack on the main Chicago Blackhawks forum page. There are literally pages and pages full of bogus topics. I mentioned it to Frenchy in the comments section of his blog this morning. Hopefully, he can contact site administration and get things fixed.
As these spam forum topics are generated, our General Comments forum could get lost down the pages and make it difficult to find. When new comments are posted here it will go back to the top of page 1, but it eventually will fall down the list. Maybe when you visit here you can bookmark this comments page (currently we’re on page 19) to bring it up more quickly the next time, instead of “leafing” through the pages looking for this forum.
different wiz, metalhead. that wiz hasn’t registered here as of yet.
Last week I noticed a comment from @THErealwiz1901 in one of Frenchy’s blogs.
I noticed it was posted September 10 at 2:41 p.m. Coincidentally, earlier that day at 12:44 p.m. he was over at HockeyBuzz asking for help to register here. So maybe he figured it out, is registered here, and just doesn’t post often.
I went down a rabbit hole w/ LTIR and regular IR rules.
If they are allowed to place Weber on IR (instead of LTIR) then his salary counts against the cap floor
but he does not use a roster spot. In that case the cap floor is not much of an issue for the Hawks.I agree with you on the LTIR/IR rules. They can keep Weber and Brossoit on regular IR, use their salaries toward the cap, and fill their roster spots. The concern about keeping above the cap floor is overblown.
I’m glad the Kaiser situation got settled before camp. The AAV came in a bit lower than I expected, but so be it.
Regarding Weber’s and Brossoit’s injuries, IMO there is no need to place them on LTIR. If I understand things correctly, if they are placed on regular IR, the Hawks get to open up both roster spots and keep their cap hits without the LTIR reductions. So the team’s cap hit would be in the 78M or so range plus two ELC contracts, or one ELC contract and Grzelcyk’s possible deal at maybe 2M. This would bring the season opening cap hit to over 80M. Plenty of cushion to remain above the floor at the TDL, assuming the two retention spots are used in moving a a couple of veterans.
