Blackhawks look like they've run their cycle, three Cups in six years is pretty awesome but they're struggling now.

Kyle Connor as well, looks like yet another strong rookie class.

How about NJ with 3 rookies in the scoring race. Ahem Jimbo, look what’s going on over there...

They've gone 100% towards speed and skill and it's paying off. Winning the draft lottery to get Nico and also winning the Butcher sweepstakes was great/fortunate for them too.

Shero turning Larsson/Henrique into Hall/Vatanen also helps

If I was their GM I'd start selling off and start over again.

Wonder if they could get Kovalchuk to come back next season

Imagine what they could get for Toewes and/or Kane! Seabrook, Keith, Sharpe, not so much...

Easier said than done, a lot of big contracts and NMC/NTC's. They're gonna have some rough years ahead.

Seabrook contract was a mistake the minute it was signed. Classic case of paying a guy for what he used to be and now what he's going to become.

I've never seen a dog be such a savage as my dog is for chips and popcorn. (frank) he will eat my hand if i let him.

Some really ugly deals there, Seabrooks contract is just terrible.

THere’s always someone willing to pay for “playoff experience”

You BC people and your labs. My uncle and cousins as well. I've got a beagle. I just put a couple kernels in my hand and he started chewing on my knuckles

Look at the contract they gave him

Hextall went full Bergevin that day

When you put it like that...
Those are some pretty lopsided deals imo.

Traded Barzal + Eberle for G.Reinhart and R.Strome


Imagine if they had McJesus, Drai, Hall, Barzal, Eberle/RNH right now...

Could they afford all that?

Plus. They still wouldn't have any goaltending or D to speak of.
