HE GONE! Hopefully first of many including Lehner as I envision Crawford giving a team friendly discount at his age and history with the Blackhawks to lock up with the team for another 2 or 3 years. Lehner not so much, he's made it known he is looking for a long term deal and no home town discount.

Yesterday, Blackhawks defenseman Erik Gustafsson took part in morning skate before the team hosted the Nashville Predators, but he did not participate in warmups and was a late healthy scratch from the game. This morning, the team announced that Gustafsson will not travel on the upcoming road trip, meaning that he is almost certain to be moved ahead of the NHL trade deadline, which is at 2 PM central time on Monday.

Not only that, Lenhar refused any interviews after the morning skate yesterday, he must see the writing on the wall.

You would think they would offer Gus a 3/6 deal before moving him.

no offer, sell, sell, sell get rid of all the baggage. This team will never move forward until guys like Gus are gone, he doesn’t provide anything for this team, use the money somewhere else.

Thank goodness Gus saved his 60 point season in a non contract year! Else the Hawks may have been forced to extend him.

Just goes to show Timing is everything!!!

Both Hurricane goalies and a defense man were injured tonight and they are now in deep talk with Bowman about a goaltender and defenseman. Lehner & Gus could be moved to Carolina. They have 2 1st round picks available

I thought we would never move forward til Kane, Toews, Keith, Seabrook and Crawford were gone. All they keep doing is moving along the second and third tier players. They are supposed to do that to find replacements for the above 5.
As far as gus providing, power play was fine when he was on the first unit as the only d man.

The hawks are trying to get back their top Defensive prospect and a first rounder for the pair.
I wonder if the Gus talks were always with carolina or they passed on a deal after Carolina started calling hot and heavy for Lenhar after the apparent kicking the tires they have been doing.

Carllson came up and was pretty dominant, yet another one of our D prospects not named Beaudin or Mitchell who comes up and makes an impact.

GUS TO THE FLAMES. HE GONE! No official word on what Blackhawks are getting back

https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/blackhawks/blackhawks-trade-erik-gustafsson-flames

The Blackhawks traded defenseman Erik Gustafsson to the Calgary Flames per Sportsnet's Eric Francis. The details on the return for Chicago aren't clear yet, but the news came with about an hour left before the trade deadline.

Nothing yet on the Gus trade to Cal-gary on TSN. Not saying it's false, but no confirmation there yet.

Saw on TSN that Lehner is off to Vegas. what's coming back is TBD but a rumor has it as Subban.

I read the higher of Calgary's third round draft picks.

Never seen so many fans so happy to see that a player may be leaving town!
This is the guy that StanBo couldn't wait to get into the line up once Q was gone because Q refused to play him.

Can't even get a box of stick tape and a bag o practice pucks for him. StanBo is such an excellent judge of talent.

TSN says it's the higher of Calgary's two third-round picks. yay.

This is a terrible return and reeks of a panic/last-resort trade after an original trade fell through.
In what universe was Gustafsson worth more?
