Carolina dumpling salary to pay for Ahi and getting a goalie to replace Mrazek/McKiilleny. Great move.. Forsberg and Forsling not in the Hawks long term plans.

Very good point. Was reading on the internets that the Aho camp was damn pissed that CAR took on the Marleau contract. They wanted that 6 mil....... Better keep that kid signed and happy.

Blackhawks now have eight NHL defensemen under contract, plus all those prospects coming to camp. Still very crowded, might be more trades to come.

Know what LBR, Forsling will keep getting chances based on the eye test. Kid has skills and if he ever puts it together he's a new age modern Dman who can skate and move the thing.

All good
French is not easy.

I suspect another move is coming.

Connor Murphy is the name jumping out at me.
- Tyler Cameron

Got to move some salary to pay for DeHaan and.make room on the blue line.

If the Hawks think Boqvist is ready next season do you add Joki as a sweetner to try and rid yourself of Seabeooks contract?

DeHaan out 4-6 months after shoulder surgery. Whoa ... that just stuck a pin in the balloon. So if he had the surgery in late May / early June - that would put him back somewhere in the October-December time frame. Similar to Murphy last season. Well ... that complicates things.

You Da Man, Eb............ Should have, but did not know De Haan was gonna be out 1/2 the season.

Or as Thurston Howell III would say, "say, Lovie". pass me the pate.

Creative thought. The other sweetener would be DeBrincat with the poison pill contract (not person or contract) Seabrook

Tyler has that been said to you by one or any of your sources?

No, and besides Bovquist ain't ready. ....... Guessing they buy Seabs out after the new CBA .

Joki is a player man. Kid had a 54% Corsi last yr as a 19 yr old............

No

Is the door now open to take someone off the Leafs' hands? Don't they need a RD?

My guess is:

CHI trades
Murphy
Prospect

for combination of

TOR Trades
$$$ Forward(s)
Prospect
Pick(s)

I honestly quite like Forsling - think he could turn into something. Wasn't actually meant to be a knock on Forsling - the chart for De Haan came with the one for Forsling so it had to be posted that way.

Gross. No.

No doubt there's a numbers game on the blueline now and as teams get farther into camp/preseason this will take care of its self. But after De Haan they have 12 mil in space with just the RFA's to sign: https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/blackhawks

What are we doing for a back up goalie?Odds in Crawford seeing January without serious injury are low

Smith - Maresjek - Talbot - Reimer

Of course you like Forsling, in context, as do I. The eye test tells you to like him but his fancies do suck. Right coach, right system, slotted correctly he MIGHT be a player. No doubt he has the skills to be one.

So, between de Haan and Maatta they picked up a D-man. Both have missed time.
Didn't pay much for him, so whateves.

If this kid is healthy hes a top 4 and 1st unit PK player.

This was his 4th career shoulder surgery

Durability has always been a question . . . otherwise brings some much needed stability to our second pairing.
