100% agree....

Until we actually see a real, live offer sheet on an RFA, I’m of the view they are virtually non-existent. That said, there has been considerably more talk amongst some teams lately of putting in an offer sheet. We’ll see about that but RFAs are now eligible to receive/sign them. |

Per Scott Powers, "The Blackhawks are likely done with any signings and trades for today, a source said."
So the 'Hawks got older, slower, and added a d-man that might not even be part of the every-day 6.
This team is definitely trying to improve from within.

I don't either. How many of us do? What I see is a team missing a #3 and I am being nice putting Seabs at #2 even though it is obvious he won't skate with Duncs. - blackhawk24
Seabrook is very clearly a Bottom Pairing D-man at this point. His foot speed has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Seabrook should be deployed against bottom 6 lines and get some PK and PP time, period.
Keith is our only Top 4....after that ZERO. Maybe someone steps up, and I am sure we'll find 1 guy out of the plethora of lower level D-men we have, but that still only gives you 2. This defense was a joke last year and it was not just because of bad coaching...some of these guys can't skate (Seabrook), regressed (Rutta), can't play their own zone for poop (Gus, Osterle, Forsling) or just were sorta not good at anything (Murphy).
Hell, stick in Blake Hillman and Henri for all I care at this point. |

Sounds like the Hawks are done for the day.
Quite disappointing if that's the case.
I would say Stan will be turning to trades to try to improve this team. |

It's looking like it. See you all a year from now when we can hopefully sign some players that will improve our team, after we've drafted Jack Hughes.

ONLY LOGICAL reason for adding more bottom level D men is he is going to package 1 or 2 up (Forsling or Murphy I'd guess) maybe to get a higher upside top 4 D or center.
If THIS is the tenor of the off season, then unreal.... |

Don’t understand the Kunitz signing. 4th liner in Tampa.
Ward will probably play worse with a worse defense in front of him.
Manning I kindve like. Has a physical side. Contributed a decent amount in Philadelphia the last three years. He’ll actually lay someone out for getting too close to the goalie. |

How many bottom pairing Dmen do they need?
Does this mean there's a trade coming? |

So by my count that brings their total # of signed Dmen to 18 which includes Manning.
Stan's target should be 25 so half of their permitted 50 contracts are defenceman.

Jesus. Christ. Why the hell are we signing every damn signing today was trash. I'm tired of Stan. |
|
|

I think we should be in full rebuild and I think Bowman knows the Hawks should be . We are a lottery team and that's ok, knew it would happen one day.
So why are we signing older slower players .
I never understand Bowmans strategy |

Mrazek for 1.5 is a nice pickup by Carolina. |

Doughty will be 37 at the end of his new contract. - L_B_R
Clearly I can’t due math but still at 34 I doubt he’ll be the train wreck Seabrook is.
For some reason I had 34 stuck in my head |
