  • Yeah, I'm starting this already: the 2018-2019 NHL Offseason thread

    A few months old, but interesting and encouraging article about the Blackhawks. I wish I had some optimism, but right now I don't. I don't know how the blueline is fixed with the Seabrook contract and Keith's regression. I think even with his decline the Demi God remained incredibly important to the team. The Blackhawks need a solution for him being essentially retired. Not sure what that solution will be.

    Blackhawks have a 6.5% chance at getting the top pick in the draft. Obviously it would be huge as the top player in the draft fills the Blackhawks biggest need. So, Bettman fix the damn lottery for us, it is the best thing for the league.

    Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        You suck Bettman. All you had to do is rig the lottery and you failed.

            It shouldn't have ended this way for Hossa. It seemed highly unlikely that he would ever be back in the NHL, but it sucks having it all but official now. Hossa is my favorite player from the Blackhawks 2010-2015 run of 3 cups. He doesn't get enough credit.

                Really fucking sucks. He is still a damn valuable player. The Blackhawks are much better with him.

                Ideally, trade his contract and get him involved in the organization again in 3 years. His hockey knowledge is amazing. I'd see him as a good front office person or coach

                    So the Blackhawks are actually going to have some cap space this summer to be involved in free agency. We are under the cap and aren't carrying any overages this year. There are good options in unrestricted free agency on the blueline.

                    Blackhawks need to make a run at John Carlson. If the Blackhawks can get him on a deal that is around 6 million AAV they need to make that move. While I know there is some forward talent that will be intriguing with our draft pick, draft another blueliner and fast track him to the NHL.

                    Also, try to move Hossa's contract and I'm ready to move on from Ansimov if possible.

                      Barry Trotz has stepped down as the HC of the Capitals. He's a free agent now.

                      Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
