Kind of an interesting destination for Zegras. And a cheap acquisition for Philly which severely lacks skill. He probably gets a chance to play center

The athletic ranked every nhl roster’s center situation. Here is Chicago: 26. Chicago Blackhawks Current quality: 23rd percentile Looking for: High-end center, middle-six center Perhaps no team is better situated to have its needs met by internal candidates than the Blackhawks. Connor Bedard isn’t a high-end first-liner yet — but can he be? Obviously. And it might happen soon. Frank Nazar isn’t a quality middle-six center yet — but can he be? Obviously. And it might happen soon. Behind those two is Jason Dickinson, a solid bottom-sixer. In a perfect world, Chicago would add someone in the middle of the mix to stabilize things and help both Bedard and Nazar reach their potential. In the meantime, they’re closer to the bottom of these rankings than the middle.

When people said don’t expect the Blackhawks to splurge on a bunch of middle six guys in free agency like they did last year, they were right. Instead they’ll just overpay somebody else’s free agent contract via trade. This is exactly the type of player they do not need. Was a 4th liner on a lottery team he could end up on the top line if this team by default though. But there’s a half dozen guys in same situation

Good for him. Hope it works out. Gonna be a fun one when Winnipeg visits Chicago. At least they’ll have another sell out to fund the slow rebuild
-
Blackhawks signed Donato, 4 years, $4m AAV. that sounds like a reasonable deal to me. He may have gotten a little more on open market, but this is a little more than some people suggested 4 months ago.

That’s fair

Every year people complain about ESPN talking about the NFL in the offseason. Every year people want to talk about the NFL in the offseason. the nba finals has two teams nobody cares about. Each nba draft has like 1 future star and 3 good role players but nobody knows who any of them will be. MLB regular season is 2 years long and nobody cares about anything but their home team. It’s a regional sport, not national. Nobody gives a horsefeathers about college baseball outside of like 6 small town campuses. I don’t watch espn talk shows, but if you do, and you complain about them talking about the one national sport in this country. You’re doing it wrong.

Corey Pronman mocked the entire draft. He sends Frondell to the hawks in the first and then 6’1” LW Malcolm Spence at 25 and 6’5”+ Mason West at 34. He even has 6’4” Stepan Hoch going to Chicago with their other 2nd rounder, at 62 i get the narrative that with all the smallish fast guys they need size, but I really don’t want them passing on a guy because they think they are too small right now. Later in the first and in the second is where you get all your middle and bottom six guys. The top of the first is for potential superstars and you gotta take the guy with the best chance to be a star there. Go ahead and look for a type later. by the time these guys are all in the NHL, there will be other role players filling those spots. You don’t need two giants on every line. you take that same draft above and swap out Hagens for Frondell and you still have a lot of size on there
-
That’s fine with me. the hawks traded Brandon hagel for a couple forwards and two first round picks that were destined to be late in the round. I’d like to see what they can get for Torontos pick this year and Floridas 1st next year. Maybe even throw in their own 2nds as sweetener, since they will still have their owns 1st and multiple seconds. The problem is there isn’t really a Blackhawks team obviously tanking and trading away good players in order to lose. Hagel would cost more in today’s market than he did a couple years ago.

Oh. And future former Blackhawk Reichel made the German first 6

USA Hockey announces first six for Olympics roster Quinn Hughes and Charlie McAvoy on the backend Tkachuk brothers, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel as forwards Nazar and Vlasic have outside shots of being added after a fantastic and decent World Cup effort, respectively

Yahoo sports app is wrong, that’s unpossible Even shorter break then
-
NHL- Wed/Fri/Mon/Th/Sat/Tue/Sat NBA- Thur/Sun/Wed/Fri/Mon/Thur/Mon I don’t get how you can say the break between games are long. One day off between game 1/2 and 4/5. Two days off between 2/3, 3/4 and 5/6. The only long break is between 6/7 the NBA uses 2 days off as a baseline and has the same 3 day break built into the 6/7 wait you made this post between game 1 and 2, when they had one day without a game (both of which went deep into OT)
-
Depth for Rockford I guess
-
Not sure moving from Milwaukee to Chicago is a step back in the relevance department.
-
This series has been must watch TV for me. Have only missed the beginning of game 1 coming back from practice. My kid wants me to take her down the shore after a grad party on Saturday but that isn’t going to happen. Keeping calendar clear
-
Kreider to ducks is official. Kind of confusing why Anaheim wanted to do this trade. He’s been good in his career but he’s old and coming off a bad season. They are much further along the rebuild process than Chicago, and I guess this increases their chances of making the playoffs this year. So good luck to them.
-
Sounds like Rangers are close to sending Chris Kreider to Anaheim, which should get the ball rolling on an interesting offseason. Dallas, Colorado, Carolina, Toronto and LA are contenders likely looking to shake things up. NJ, NYR, STL, VAN and Utah are bubblish teams probably looking to take the next step.

Starting rotation options available now

I’m not sure age is the issue as much as just whatever his first year of free agency would be. The guy is tremendously fun and good right now, but gives off Javy Baez vibes as a non walking strikeout guy who won’t last. PCA is probably (hopefully?) not going to fall off as precipitously as Javy but if they can avoid the second contract via free agency that would be good
-
They drafted a couple interior linemen so maybe they had an idea it was possible

Good luck building anything bigger than a strip mall for less than $100 million. -
Today was expansion draft protection day for the PWHL. Each team can protect just three players, leaving everyone else available in the expansion draft. Only three goalies were protected. Reigning back to back Minnesota protected Kendall Coyne (33), Montreal protected Marie Philip Poulin (34), but Boston did not protect Hilary Knight (35), who led the league in scoring and is the top American star. Toronto also didn’t protect Sarah Nurse and New York didn’t protect Alex Carpenter. the draft is gonna be interesting

Wow, that’s shocking! who’s frank ragnow?
