Schmaltz moved to AZ
Schmaltz traded to Yotes for Strome and Perlini
Schmaltz traded to Yotes for Strome and Perlini
Strome was with Cat in Erie. Perlini looks to be a better version of Hayden. Think we see Perlini with Toews and Saad, and Strome with Cat and Kane
well, either Arizona does not draft well, or we just got a 3rd and 12th overall pick.
I liked Schmaltz, but not as a wing. Blackhawks west is growing.
Honestly I like this trade. Schmaltz was Bolland-at-best at the dot and I can't be the only one who kept yelling at him to shoot the fuckin' puck when he's in the clear instead of forcing the pass to Kane. And, as was mentioned, rumor has it Schmaltz was looking for an RFA payday and was totally not worth it.
Don't think Perlini or Strome will be saviors, but not a couple of bad kids moving forward...and as a 12th and 3rd pick, they hopefully won't be Barker or Beach.
1st off...Schmaltz is to Hossa like a Geo Metro is to a Hennessy Venom. [emoji2] Schmaltz hever pickpocketed the best.well, maybe these agents are learning to ask big so their players can get moved out of chicago. I will miss Schmaltz and his Hossa like chasing down his mistakes and taking the puck away almost at will. But I wont miss the mistakes.
I think the two new guys don't have a great year behind them, so they might not request a higher bridge if the rumors of Schmaltz are true.so these arizona guys are more apt to take a bridge contract than Schmaltz would have? I dont know if players just like it in Arizona or not, cuz Hammer just took 5 million. Maybe thats alot for a defensive defenseman, but I think they were expecting him to be asking for 6 here.

However, Schmaltz was due after this year. Strome and Perlini are due next year, so if anything it kicks the can down the road.
I thought they were drafted the same year as Schmaltz, or one of them at least. Maybe Arizona held them back while Nick was playing.
