Per @MarkLazerus:
Blackhawks have 10 defensemen with NHL experience under contract for next season. And that doesn't include Henri Jokiharju, who will compete for a roster spot in camp.

Per Me: WTF?!

Maybe, but no anchor contacts added in FA, 2 of the 3 signings are 1 yr, or assets given up to move Hossa's money.

So far I'm ok except Kunitz will take valuable ice time from one of the young Hawks despite his bringing a "tougher to pay against game" along with Manning.

Bowman should be fired right now got older not younger. Still waiting for d help center help and top 6 forward wirtz should be on the phone and pink slip in hand. Very disappointing besides AA what assets do we have to trade hawks just replenish the d depth now their going trade it away. Can please finally get rid of this ass clown so bozak at 5 mill per year for 3 hawks could not match that when hawks need desperately center help. Wow

Blackhawks sign first-round pick Adam Boqvist to a three-year entry-level contract

- mrpaulish


This FA D class and prices paid gives us a glimpse as to why the Hawks drafted the Swede Dman over winger Wahlstrom.

Justin---I think bringing in Manning HAS to say other pieces will fall. With all these third pairing guys, someone has to be moved I'd think.

Manning can not play against top lines, but very serviceable in the right role and does play tough and gritty, has high character. Lot to like about him, but he has a very low ceiling as a player.

Connor Murphy looks like the odd man out from my eyes. Unless they think he can skate Top 4 minutes?

There will be futher moves on defence.

They have:

LD - Keith, Gustafsson, Manning, Forsling, Oesterle

RD - Seabrook, Murphy, Rutta (and maybe Jokiharju).

That defence needs to improve. If Justin Faulk is still available... Stan should call Canes now!!

Figures. Could explain some of the locker room nonsense thats been coming out. Seabrook Toews and Kane all seem personable.

Crawford may be a weirdo also.

The room is a very important aspect of a hocmey club.

AA's contract looks cheap to me compared to Bozak.

Why? What to do with Seager? Need Manny now. Seager back next season. And 3B? What to do with Turner...? LA would be only a rental for Manny. Not saying it won't happen (Chapman 2016...) but the Cubs would be smart to deal for Manny now if they want to up the offence. My take is they need starting pitching. Darvish is a bust like I thought, Q is just OK, Chatwood is a dumpster fire and Kyle is not doing well without Bosio.

Actually there’s talk about seager going to 2nd after his surgery.
JT at 3rd Machado SS Seager 2B

Verdugo would be in the deal.

Hey Lucic available fits the bill
Overpaid long term contract, past his prime and slow

Yep. At least StanBow has stopped digging an already deep hole. That in itself is a good sign. Baby steps. Not sexy but gives a fan hope that the Hawks understand they are in a rebuild even though they won't say it.

Right? One of the D men have to go?

Yes. ..........It's said why a top Dman in Hamilton has been traded twice at 25 yrs old.
