In season deals

Had some hope for Saarela

The Blackhawks acquired left-handed defenseman Ian McCoshen from the Panthers in exchange for forward Aleksi Saarela on Tuesday night.


McCoshen is on a two-way deal worth $700,000. The 6-foot-3, 218-pound blue liner will report to the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs.


The 24-year-old McCoshen had four assists in seven games this season with the Springfield Thunderbirds in the AHL. The Panthers drafted him in the second round (31st overall) in the 2013 NHL draft. He has seven points (four goals, three assists) in 60 regular-season NHL games with Florida and 30 points (four goals, 26 assists) in 115 career AHL games since 2016.


Chicago acquired Saarela in a four-player trade with the Hurricanes in July. He was a promising addition to Chicago’s pipeline after scoring 30 goals in the regular season and seven goals in the playoffs to help the Charlotte Checkers win the Calder Cup.

Interesting, but kinda a depth move. Know anything about McCoshen?

Sounds to me like Nylander won the depth forward competition and they were still smarting from loss of Dahlstrom. Continues trend of Bowman trying to cover the fact he has iced an NHL team as physical as a pack of 8th grade girls.

Hawks have given Perlini permission to seek trades. Nobody wanted to sign him restricted, why would anyone want to give up anything but a problem to get him, we had room for neither.

Nothing more than he could not break the lineup in Florida.

Small trade:
Graham Knott for Joseph Cramarossa

Not sure what the point of trading a 22 year old for a 27 year old is even though Knott has not done much of anything. I see a few fights from Cramarossa on Youtube, but not since 2017 and he doesn't exactly look like a heavyweight

I think some these moves is to make it look like Stan never sleeps.

Who.

It's strictly a Rockford move. Nothing to see here.
