From Chicago's perspective I can see why they may want to deal Bickell, but why would any team want to take him on right now?

JJ, any chance the Hawks would be in on Ruutu (who is supposedly on the block in Carolina) or Callahan in New York (who is a pending UFA)? Do you think McNeill has any good value following what seems like a pretty good season in Rockford?

Don't hold your breath waiting for a trade. Not going to happen.

Oh I know, but if JJ is hearing rumors there must be some reasoning behind it. Maybe it's just Stan offering up Bickell and the other GM laughing at him.

There's that. Also, how much has Bickell's trade value dropped?

This. However, I could see Bowman trading for another vet making the league minimum.

Thought it when they signed him, $4 mil would be way too much for the Bickell show. Wasn't Bolland moved due to injuries, high salary for 3rd line, and disappearing in the regular season? Was surprised they paid Bickell more to fit that same mold of the departed Rat

Eh. Bicks isn't going anywhere...

First: He has a Modified NTC and a high cap hit. Second: He's finally healthy again. He will pot 10 or so more goals by the end of this season, be close to a PPG player in the playoffs (again) and everyone will go back to blaming Q and CC for this team's struggles.

Buffalo-Carolina on NHLNet.

Good to see NHL uniforms on a normal size rink.

No Gingers. Isn't Hartnell signed another 20 years or so? Hasn't his play dropped off to nothing in the last 2 years? One positive is he definitely someone Slowzus can keep up with. Guy is glacially slow.


OMH Gretzky Ott just missed a breakaway. Bust.

It is amazing, tho, how many GMs will look at his size, potential, last year's play-off results, and relatively not-terrible contract, and say - we can get him to realize his potential.

Doesn't mean a deal will get done - but Bickell would be attractive to a number of GMs

I said the UNIFORMS were NHL - not the quality of the teams.

You got your new blog. Will you calm down already. First off. The Canes uniforms are turble. And until Buffalo goes back to their original uniforms, I will protest the stupid little strip that frames their boobies.

Hartsy signed through '18-'19 @ 4.75. Has 15G and 22A in 55 games (6&10 on PP) this year a +6 and 104 hits.

So, 5 million for a 40 point player? Pass. Takes a lot of dumb penalties too.

I agree. While he isn't the best candidate to trade for, I don't think he would be that difficult to trade. I still would like to get a physical 2-way center but teams will not give them up at this point. I can see some movement in the summer if the Hawks go out early

When you start going through it TC, how many physical 2-way centers are there? Especially those that play the 2C role.

No way they'd trade Ladd straight up for Worthless. MAYBE if we threw in Pirri & Ben Smith. Hell, they might even want TT on top of that.

For real. Might as well give them Leddy and Morin on top of that. Probably want Danault too.

I believe the previous rumor about Ladd had Bickell and TT going to the Jets.
