plus making the team slightly worse hopefully slightly improving the draft pick.

Ya that's not to bad ,hope we continue to tank along . I am off to Costa Rico for couple weeks . No HAWKS No

Is the Wingels trade official? Still not seeing it on TSN,
- 67hawks

I'm skeptical...before capfriendly went down, i looked and Boston did not have a 5th round pick next year...

Well, take out Wingels, Hartman, Bouma, I guess we got to call up some players any idea who?

Tommy Wingels has been traded to Boston for a 5th round pick. #NHLTrade

That's all I've seen.

It might be a 2019.

I haven't seen it reported either. Still waiting to see.

tyler Sikura, Hayden and Highmore.

He's on an AHL contract only.

His brother will be here soon hopefully.

Some additional posts on the Boston thread but nothing confirmed...

We can sign him to a NHL contract can't we.

Any chance Sikura will be up before end of the year?

So Bowman trades the two toughest guys on the roster who can actually play hockey. I guess Bouma's spot in the lineup is locked in the rest of the way.

Bouma is useless and should never see the big club again

He won't. They assigned him to Rockford with now several open roster spots. He's done.

Yep - for sure.

Just stating that he doesn't have one now.

Someone had the idea of holding a press conference to announce that they've signed both Sikura bros. Something I can see McD loving as the Hawks finish out the season.

Justin, do we have the rights to both Sikura brothers? i thought only 1 of them...but if both fantastic. Anyone have a quick thumbnail scouting report on each of them.

Bouma is useless and should never see the big club again
- Ogilthorpe2

Yes
Bouma should be buried in Rockford and Sharp sent home or wherever.
From here on in I want to be looking at our future. Winning this year does not matter anymore. If you want to bring in a goon to protect the kids, bring one in who knows what his job is.

Winnipeg adding Stasny is a big depth upgrade.
- EnzoD

I really think that was a bad trade

That Tatar deal as well, wow what a bad deal for the Knights

Expect to hear:

1. Difficult market to move in (code for nuthin to sell, nuthin to buy)
2. Series of unfortunate circumstances (CC)
3. We like our core (we have to because we can't trade any of them)
4. We have some good young pieces (it's going to be a while to rebuild)
5. Focus is on developing youth and creating space to add pieces (it's going to be a while to rebuild)

@ByScottPowers

Berube, Dahlstrom & Kampf appear as if they may be paper transactions to the IceHogs today so they're eligible for the AHL playoffs. All three are listed on the AHL transaction page.

Well that's the reality of our situation has been since Corey went down.
