  1. The prospect stockpile backfires again. It was recently reported that hawks prospect Jack Pridham had to enroll in college, sign his entry level deal or go back into draft. He didn’t want to be the 14th best prospect in this system so he was traded to Tampa for a third round pick. this was a third round pick that has looked good post draft, but now Chicago loses him for another third round pick where they will have to work to get equal value. this is where the quantity over quality issue bites you. Guys don’t want to be 4th liners. Chicago somehow doesn’t have a legit top 6 but also doesn’t have room for more middle 6 guys. Draft capital is great but there are diminishing returns. They need to trade surplus for quality
  2. This Claude Lemieux news is devastating
  3. You can’t have one without the other and they shouldn’t have either. bad question that eliminates valid opinions from the discussion
  4. They snuck by Tampa in game 7 of 1st round with 9 shots on net
  5. Oh no doubt injuries mattered. Probably goes hand in hand with the tougher road to finals being from that division. but Vegas has talent and are not a surprise finalist. Sure a sweep is a shock, but not a win.
  6. Marginal talent? Vegas was a Stanley cup contender entering the season. They have Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner on the top line. Those are two guys the hawks are praying their own players turn into. Mark Stone is better than anybody the hawks can dream of being in their third line. They don’t have a superstar D but their D is much more stable and dependable than Chicago. Their goalie is probably a rapist Canadian maga guy everybody should hate, but the team has plenty of talent. they also got to play a cupcake division and first two rounds of playoffs in comparison to Colorado going up against Dallas and Minnesota all season and the wild in playoffs.
  7. this years team trying to figure out the best way to maximize fan disappointment
  8. 10 wins just isn’t that hard in a 17 game season. 12-15 teams have won 10+ all three seasons we’ve had 17 game seasons. 10 wins won’t be a heck of a feat. The over/under is 9.5, there’s a good chance they get 10. That still means 7 losses. Now, 12/13 wins, that’ll be a heck of a feat. Only 4/5 losses on that schedule, now you got a stew cooking
  9. https://www.bleachernation.com/blackhawks/2026/05/09/roman-kantserov-a-nice-summer-starting-win-for-the-blackhawks-but-more-needs-to-be-done/
  10. Here’s a deeper dive into RK
  11. It’s an important step but not a big deal today. He probably won’t be a big difference maker in 2026/27. He’s been expected to come over this summer all along so it’s not a surprise. but he is a guy you can expect to play top 6 minutes and Chicago is desperate for top 6 guys, instead of a bunch of 3rd/4th liners playing up by default. He has star potential but more likely a good support player if they are able to draft one of the top 2 forwards this summer the forward group can look a lot better next season. What they need to do is trade some of their very significant draft capital for a good expensive player to kickstart their ascendance. if you can have 6 legit F in your top 6 plus Nazar as your 3rd line guy, suddenly you have legit scoring depth and will make life difficult for opponents.

  12. After breaking his contract in russia, making it clear he was coming to Chicago this summer, Roman Kantserov makes it official signing his entry level contract
  13. Western nyers are going to blow through their sporting event budget this spring
  14. I’ll take the under on patriots win total
  15. Avs might want to make a goalie change here
  16. He sits at the right hand of god and that right hand just smacked him upside the head
  17. CBS yahoo and mlb all had the same 6/6 final issue. ESPN was correct. Assume some of those have the same underlying service provider
