    Draft Board

    If things go as planned, Bedard will be the face of the franchise and sell tickets for a long time. It's a bit of old-school thinking but maybe KD will either sign some FA's to be around for Bedard's protection or at least draft for size and scrappiness. I'm not talking complete goons but...

    Blackhawks 2022-23 SEASON THREAD

    As shitty as this team is, with or without Kane or Toews, they manage to somehow still pull out some wins. As great of players they are or were, it makes me wonder if players relied a bit too much on those two guys instead of focusing on their own games and if coaches did similarly. Opponents...

    Blackhawks 2022-23 SEASON THREAD

    Maybe the strategy is to win some games now and make certain players look good so they can get the best return at the TDL Then they can do some serious tanking. LOL!!

    Blackhawks 2022-23 SEASON THREAD

    Even with Chicago being a shit team at the moment, the kid is young with a lot of years going forward. Chicago is a great team for marketing outside of hockey so he'd be a fool not to take advantage of that. Kinda like..... "Drive the car that Kane and and Toews drive" and whatever other...

    Blackhawks 2022-23 SEASON THREAD

    The reality is that if they have an 18.5% of getting the first pick, they have an 81.5% not to get it.

    Caleb Jones and Philipp Kurashev sign 1-year extensions with the Chicago Blackhawks

    Two years ago and early in the season Kurashev looked like he had flashes of being a pretty good young player. As time went on it seemed he either lost confidence, the coaches lost confidence in him, or both. It's just a one-year extension so hopefully, under a new coach, he can regain...

    Any Positives coming into season?

    Positives this season will be rare other than watching some of the young guys from previous drafts or acquisitions develop. New GM, new coaches, and a new director of scouting are hopefully all positives. Obviously, the post-Bowman era will take years to take hold but simply going into the...

    Derek King

    I'd guess Davidson is waiting the year out to see what coaches are available. He may have some in mind but cannot make contact at this point. King was up temporarily anyway so maybe he'll go back to Rockford.

    Derek King

    For the most part, unless there is someone special, most draft picks for the next few years won't see NHL ice time for a couple of years. I'd have to agree that it really doesn't matter who is behind the bench although I'd prefer a coach with a little more fire in the belly. Maybe Crawford is...

    2022 Blackhawks Trades/Signings

    What I don't understand about moving Hagel is that he's the kind of guy a rebuilding team would want to have around, not to get rid of. He's young, talented, hard-working and affordable (at this point anyway). Of course he's a part of the minimal trade bait the Hawks have available but why...

    Who Stays, Who Goes?

    I have a feeling Kane and Toews will play out their time in Chicago but for different reasons. Besides needing trade waivers from them, the Hawks would have to eat a pile of their $10.5 mil NMC contracts contracts to make a deal ahead of their contract expirations. There are limited trade...

    Hawks Broadcaster Tryout Thread

    I live out of market. Up until this year I bought a streaming subscription but decided not to this year. I finally got a game to watch and it's 5-0 at the second intermission. Sucks.

    Who Stays, Who Goes?

    The draft is scheduled for July 7 and 8. Wouldn't it make sense to hire a GM well before that so he'd have time to assess talent and draft with some sort of plan? Wouldn't it also make sense to have a staff (scouts) and a coach solidly in place with enough time to contribute to this plan...
