Blackhawks Team Discussion Thread

[MassHavoc]

Honestly. I don't want to really trade much, what I'd love to do is be able to dump some of the parts that aren't going to be here much longer anyway and free up some cap room.

Related to the Rasmussen move - Versteeg placed on LTIR - which is going to free up some cap space in the meanwhile.

I'm pretty happy right now about hockey in this area (So Cal). In Ontario, Ca. a neighboring city, there is a King minor league affiliate called the Reign. It low minors. They announced a few weeks ago, that the Kings are changing their high minors affliate to Ontario which means that the almost ready guys are going to be playing out here. This is good news to me not only because I like to watch minor league hockey but also because I would guess that the Hawks high minors team will be coming out here on occasion?

99% of people who say they're Finnish are actually Americans.

How big are the gills?

 

[The Hawk]

what do you guys want at the trade deadline? I really cant complain if we stand pat. Shore up defense?

I like the big guys behind the boards and in front of the net?

Rundshit, Rozy & Oshitya...awesome depth Stan.

You know, maybe give a guy like Dahlbeck, you know, his well earned full time chance up here?

Oh wait, we barely have cap room, dipshit.

Yeah he had a couple prime opportunities only he failed. That bad depth of a random UDFA in TVR actually was playing far better so he got the role everyone thought Dahlbeck would get to start the year. If he stayed positionally sound, Runbdblad wouldn't of began looking like a much better playing option for now. He'll still get his shot next year... but maybe Pokka and Johns will actually be better too.

#17 for Jimmy Hayes..meanwhile mr 4 millionz has one goal since Jan 11th.

The Hawks aren't on a losing streak. Why are you posting here?

When is TVR set to return?

He's just one of those tools that acts like he knows something, Dick needs to be deleted whenever he posts in a Hawks thread.

He's almost 3 month's now.

Blackhawks defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk skated Tuesday for the first time since fracturing a left patella on Nov. 16, according to Quenneville. Van Riemsdyk underwent surgery on Nov. 20 and was originally expected to miss 3-4 months.

“More of a light skate for him, first step,” Quenneville said of van Riemsdyk.


Van Riemsdyk suffered the injury when he was hit in the left leg by a puck on Nov. 16. He underwent successful surgery to repair the patella on Nov. 20. He was given a 3-4 month recovery timetable following the surgery.

“He’s on that timeline; he might even be ahead of that curve,” Quenneville said on Monday. “I think we had a forecast of about three months with him initially. I think now he’s at that turning point where all of a sudden he can start doing some more things with it and start more of the rehab process.”

Hayes is averaging 14:59 of ice time in Florida.

In Chicago, while playing in 55 games for the Hawks, he cracked the 15-minute plateau a grand total of FIVE times. He wasn't good enough to earn that much ice time on the Hawks. Now playing on a shitty Florida team, he's getting that ice time because that team sucks. He's got 17 goals and that's ranked second on the team because, I guess, someone has to score those goals for Florida.

If Bickell was skating 15 minutes per game in Florida, he'd be over 20 goals already.

Oh, and Hayes has a whopping FOUR GOALS since Jan. 11th.

So Hayes has almost twice as many goals as Bickell, because he plays two shifts per game more than him, on an inferior Florida team? While making $3.3M less a season? Uhh....yeah. I hate to agree with Capt...but none of that helps your argument. Quite the opposite, actually.

The Bickell contract is fucking awful and I will take Hayes over him every day and twice on Sunday.

I also HIGHLY doubt he would have 20 goals in Florida, but I'd REALLY like to see him give it a shot next season. :lol:

You're going to base this comparison off a couple of call ups Hayes had with the Hawks in his first two seasons playing pro hockey and splitting time with the Icehogs? Really? Because you're reading the stat line off hockey-reference wrong, he didn't play 55 games for the Hawks, he played 43. That 55 games with the Hawks you're talking about was the 2013-14 season, where he spent with only 2 games on the Hawks, 53 with the Panthers.

Might wanna double check things the next time before you get too gif happy.
