Can he still play or is he done by now?

Not a good season for him

Keeping in mind the Canucks are a dumpster fire,
he might just play better for a better team?

12/02/25 update

This is not to suggest these are guys the Hawks missed out on.
It’s more of a general thread to show how a UFA class looks so great until the extensions start showing up.

Yes, there are some “non-legendary” 2026 UFAs on this list.
They are there to help show how the list diminishes before 07/01/2026.

KFC was just live on Seravalli’s show.

They asked him about Bedard, Frondell, then Rinzel/Arty, then Blashill.
He didn’t say anything of substance, just supported his people with positive comments.

why are you nervous on saturday the 14th?

So, the first part of the comment was about how I don’t hate Mondays, but Tuesdays bothered me.
Then, in an obviously overly-vague joke, I said I’m nervous on Saturday the 14th
because it comes the day after Friday The 13th. (A day which, like Monday, is the more common “problem day”)

Get it?
hahahahahaha

I agree, both should be playing in Rockford in all situations, like Korchinski is.

I still agree 100%.

Give Arty and Rinzel 2 week stints *separately* in RFD.
1) It will reduce the protection and increase the minutes of the one who is in Chicago.
2) The one in RFD does not just go to 17-18, they can play a heavy 22-23 minutes and all situations.
3) The AHL schedule is not as packed as the NHL. So, while the one in RFD plays big minutes each game,
the schedule is lighter, so the young body can get used to the work load. (10 Dec games vs 14 for the Hawks)

I’m crossing my fingers, but I’m not holding my breath.

canada, live your best life and have as much fun as you can today because tomorrow is monday.

Please don’t hate me but Mondays never bothered me.
I was always in the mood to get as much done as possible so the rest of the week would be easier.
Tuesdays are the one that got me.

related: I’m always nervous on Saturday the 14th.

we could also seize control of the Colorado Death Star instead of destroying it, and then bring it back to Quebec city, where it belongs.

Brilliant !

I’ll pitch in a fiver to the cause.

We need to smuggle out the construction plans for the Colorado Death Star,
steal a couple of X-Wing fighters and
shoot a missile into the thermal exhaust port.

Who’s with me? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ASP?

Long time Chicago area guy now living in West Michigan.
Lurked on and off on HB since about 2013.
I spend time here because it’s by far the best group of people I’ve come across on any hockey forum.
