Let this sink in, Stan got more for Janmark than Buffalo got for Hall.

The rights to Marcus Kruger

I think this all just goes to show that it is probably much easier to look good in these deals when you are the team that’s selling, seems like Stan is taking advantage of the leverage that he finally holds.

This is the lotto ticket approach that I think the Blackhawks are continuing to employ. The more assets you have the better chances that one turns into a difference maker.

This also has the chance to be a very good year for mid round picks. With the lack of scouting that has taken place, it would make sense that talent is less well understood and will be distributed more uniformly throughout the 2021 draft. Does a 2nd round pick this year have more value for that reason? Less? Sort of interesting to think about.

Is Stan's fax machine still working?

Soderberg to COL for Richardinson and Rolston

San Jose is getting a 5th rounder from Vegas for brokering the deal and sending a minor leaguer to Vegas.

So, it is a 2nd and a 3rd for Janmark. Gotta give Stan props for this one.

That's Hobey Baker Award winner Adam Gaudette to you.

His rights are in play for the right deal.

This one is a head scratcher.

C’mon Zadorov. Make me happy Stan! Throw in the rights to Clendening and Carey

Nope. Toronto figures a way to get him too.
Why not offer up Robertson and Lillegren
Well after grabbing Carter that sort of deal is at draft time. Exact parameters unknown but it is an idea.

Have to ask Rick if Joe Thornton is reduced to holding the door for line changes....and the token powerplay on second unit.

You are making a rather derogatory remark here about a 1st ballot HOF player.

He's brittle, turtle slow but still can really pass the puck. The Hawks could use a coach like him to teach a few of the clowns they dress every night on how to make and receive a pass.

Rolston, Avs 5th round choice last summer, a forward just completed his Frosh year at Notre Dame.

Richardinson, an undrafted center, 3 years in the ECHL and AHL, looks a career minor leaguer.

This one is a head scratcher.

Two young prospects for a guy that’s not in Chicago’s future

This one is a head scratcher.

Stan obviously had to pay more to Colorado since he ripped them off on the Saad trade...

Here is what I wrote about Ryder Rolston in the first ion his two eligible years for the draft (late bloomer wasn't taken the first time around)
Ryder Rolston
An elite skater Is too much of a perimeter player for a prospect with high caliber abilities. Wastes time and effort in his possession unnecessarily playing laterally when more straight line approach would serve the offensive attack. Is a goal scorer with a fast stick and uses his wide base to grab loose pucks. Needs to keep his head up and work to help push pace more fully. Posssesses more than enough speed too do so. Committed to Notre Dame university. His father is Brian Rolston fomer NHLer.

23 yr old Josh Richardson was on a team a few years ago with a defenseman named Bfrett Dach, not sure if this Alberta native is related to Colton and Kirby...

It is a disappointing return. I doubt they ever play in the NHL. I would rather have gotten a 3rd round pick.

Maybe they needed to dump a contract for another deal.

Should be and interesting 4th line tonight.

Maybe that's the best offer Stan had

I also noticed that Gaudette is a right hand shot, just like Borgstrom, we are definitely short on right hand shot forwards, so this is good to see.

For somebody nobody wanted at the beginning of the season that Stan signed at the last minute for $1 mil. because Toews was going on LTIR? Glad we got any return bacvk.
