BREAKING NEWS: the Rockford #IceHogs have acquired forward Matt Fornataro from the Norfolk Admirals. (as per Joves posts)



The "future consideration" came rather fast.



Small deal but it works. Ship off a life long AHLer for a possibility? Never a bad thing.

Fornataro is not the "future considerations"



The Blackhawks traded Segal for future considerations, and the IceHogs acquired Fornataro from the Admirals. I know, it's confusing, but I'm almost 100% positive these two deals are unrelated.

Good luck in Tampa!

Admirals are the Bolts farm team so I considered that to be the deal. My bad. Segal isn't going to get any return so whatever the deal its good if it opened space for Fornataro on the farm. If a late pick is involved later even better. Not sure what Stevie Y and Norfolk see in Segal but more power to them. Its a minor league deal.

I thought the same thing you did at first.



I have no problem with this, if the Hawks get a late pick out of it, it's a win.

Woot, let the dominoes begin to fall. LOL

Are we at or near 50 NHL contracts? If so, an Segal was on a Hawks contract and this other guy is on a Hogs contract that means we can now trade and add a contract...so it very well might be a domino.

I believe the Hawks have 47 players under contract with this deal (assuming Fornataro is not signed to an NHL contract/Hawks property)
