It was expected. Thanks, Dave for some fantastic playoff runs and the clincher in 2013! Good luck in Toronto!

A trade that needed to be done for a lot of reasons - mostly cap related ones. Return of picks is okay, but it is the cap space which Chicago coveted.
Love what Bolland has brought to the Blackhawks and hopefully he can play well for TML. If this wasn't the cap era, Bolland would still be in Chicago.

If there was no salary cap than I would love to keep Bolland as a third line center, but because of that he needed to go. Picks hopefully net us something, but more than anything it is the cap space. Bickell I would think gets resigned and hopefully they can land something in the free agent market to upgrade this team.

It seems like a fair trade.... He wasn't going to net a first rounder and the Hawks didn't want to take on more salary from him. Pirri should get an opportunity now.

Didn't expect three picks for Bolland. But, i'll take it.
Load up that farm system.

And, while I don't know if there were any other offers available, it should be noted that Bolland gets to go home to Toronto... Classy move by the Hawks.

Three picks for Bolland is more than I would've expected. Nice fucking work by Bowman, again. (Not sarcasm, you assholes)
Sucks to see him go. His trolling of the Sedins for three straight postseasons was fucking magical.
Definitely now part of the Toronto bandwagon, though. Really excited to watch him troll the Bruins and Wings in their new division.

If it allows us to keep a few of the others, I'm ok with it, I guess. Always liked him as a Blackhawk.

Alas, even though he was good at his role, you now have Shaw that does the same stuff for a lot less money.
Stan continues to amaze me for what he gets in trades. He has also had really good luck in the draft as well so far. If that continues, you cannot discount trades like this. Keep the core together, and keep adding young guys and cheap veterans to fill in needs.

I agree with everything but the bolded.
Dave Bolland is sneaky dirty. Never before have I seen somebody smack a Sedin in the face with his stick and not get called for it. Shaw is all emo. Shaw came up this year, he needs to play a bit closer to the edge, like Bolland to be effective even more and pick his spots better.
That being said, Bolland didn't get his game back until the final three games of the final. His injury history is a fucking *****.

In hockey is it still referred to as the farm system?

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Jets also inquired about Dave Bolland. Coveted both Bolland and Frolik. Happy to get Frolik, who will have a larger role in Wpg

Have to figure that they were not willing to give as much total for the two as Stan got in the seperate trades.
