Assuming no more moves are made, how about this?

Rookie - Toews - Kane
Panarin - Anisimov - Rookie
Panik - Kruger - Hossa
Desi - Moose - Tootoo

Kane has proven that no matter his linemates he can score, and get them to score as well. This, along with Toews being so defensively responsible hopefully makes the rookie more effective/successful in his role.

Panarin and Anisimov are language buddies, I just don't know who you would play on their RW.

Line 3 will be a constant nuisance to whoever they play against.

Line 4 will be wrecking ball line.

I dunno, I think they are planning more like this...

Mashinter - Toews - Hossa
Panarin - Mashinter - Kane
Mashinter - Mashinter - Super Mashinter
Mashinter - Kruger - Eruo Mashinter

assuming the US government has perfected cloning....

No team would ever mess with Toews and Kane then!

If your math is right 50k could make a difference if Hudler views the Stars and Hawks as equals . 50k is more than 0

If this was a big deal to him, the Hawks probably could've afforded 2.075 I would imagine........................

Is Rusty Olesz still available?

Hoping it is an "injury" that is just an excuse to get more rest/conditioning in before the season. Benn's skipping, too.

Lear just tweeted --
Duncan Keith will not play in the World Cup of Hockey because of an injury. #Blackhawks

Anyone know what it is?

Laz said team doc has asked him to rest and continue working on his knee, after last year's surgery. Don't want him to risk it.

Sounds like that is the case. More just, don't want to get hurt because he hasn't recovered 100%

I suspect we'll see more of the biggest stars taking an out to avoid the risk. . .after all, haven't the tickets already been sold?

Someone mentioned to me the other dayand I didn't give it a lot of thought, but makes sense.

And furthermore, "When my knee found out that I'm not getting paid for this Gary Bettman extravaganza it started to feel very sore and it doesn't need the aggravation of a tournament that isn't very important to anybody but NHL Head Office."

I just hope Keith is ready to go this year has a great season.

I think I'm more concerned about a healthy year for Breadman. Seems like we'd be up creeks sheet without a paddle and any ability to recapture cap room if he goes on LTIR.

Makes sense. @CoachQsMustache said:
Duncan Keith will skip the World Cup; beard's still going. How's that even possible? It's Duncan Keith's beard, that's how it's possible.

Yes sir Dr Rick....I just tweeted....don't get why Letang didn't get the call...Unless health issues. He's the perfect skill set to replace Keith.

Lots better choices than Bowmeester.

Ha, very true, each cup winner 2010 2013 2015 had a hole that was glaring.

Stan is looking for that long-suffering player to whom Johnny can first hand the cup in June: so look for Doan, Hartnell, or that ilk to play 1W soon.
- RedFeather

Hartnell's not "ilk" he'd be a great add if we can get him

Hartnell is too expensive currently even with half his salary retained. They'd need to trade someone with salary and that would create a different hole. As a TDL add, maybe.
