Just wondering how the Blachawk players handle fisticups next season. Bollig was the usual pugligist. He was a middleweight who lost to the heavyweights, but seemed alright against others.

Anyway, Bissonette is talking to teams but I do not see him coming here. What money is some team going to throw at Bissonette, anyway?

It is a long ways away from the NHL opening night.....long period- of- time away, that is, for Bowman to make a couple of moves.

I don't know or think it is worth trying to guess what Bowman will do. Somehow I have a suspicion he will pull a rabbit out of a hat sort of move. At least one player movement will be a bit of a surprise. Because no one had it pegged.

Senators, Lehner agree to terms on 3-year, $6.675-million contract.

good deal for the Sens

I think Lehner will be a stud when he finally takes on the #1 role

Spoiled, or entitled? Just from talking too and hearing from others who have talked to a few players in Rockford last season it seemed like there were a few players who thought they deserved roster spots with the big club - just for showing up.

right

Wrong. If there was a spot there for him, he'd play in Chicago. But there are no available spots for him, unless he came in and beat out 5 or 6 quality players for a center position, who are just as good or better than he is.

Well, he doesn't want to play for the Hawks. Like I said, it doesn't matter why, whether it is because he wants a for sure spot, he wants to be in the east, etc. Who cares if he is not going to be that great?

This kind of stuff just happens in sports. Guys don't want to play for teams for various reasons. If he is entitled or spoiled, or he just hates the city, or he wants to play in California, or he doesn't want to play in Canada, or he wants to go to a tax generous state like Florida or Texas, he doesn't like the way his brother was treated, etc.

It doesn't matter. Most around here think he will be a nobody. Yet it is a huge deal, he slighted the Blackhawks.
