@jet7111 @IronMikePark @ByScottPowers If you watch the last star player trade they all got traded for young player already good in the like Necas, stankoven and rossi. The only player like that we have is vlasic and Nazar. Would you trade Nazar, rinzel and our first next year for robertson ?

There are a ton of people Jason Robertson, Brady will be out there. I don't think Matthews stays in Toronto. Not likely to be able to get him but my point is players don't get to free agency anymore. You have to be a GM who is able to make drates. We have a shit ton of draft capital. And each year we move further down the draft order. 1, to 2, to 3 to this year 4. Start making moves. There are a lot of folks than can be acquired if the prices is right. Connor needs a real winger.

Kyle Davidson said he'd be open to trading the fourth-overall pick, but did note that those trades rarely happen. He said position won't matter if the Blackhawks are making that pick.

@LarryToth14 @ByScottPowers Stop watching hockey if you think the front office didn't do good... From the worst futur and just debrincat and hagel worth something to the best futur in the league in 4 year. Prospect take time and bowman didn't leave a single good prospect to KD.

@ByScottPowers I woild be surprised if he did sign with the hawks, he can probably make similar money in the K , the language is not an issue, really see zero pluses to coming to the NHL at least with Chicago, the front office is a joke, coaching is a joke, team is a bottom feeder

Let the Roman Kantserov watch begin. I will say, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t sign with the Blackhawks. Also, it could be some time before an official decision.

@TheProspectDon @FutureTreKroner Bedard Frondell nazar moore boisvert donato greene and spellacy. If thats not center depth i dont know what it is... Its time to draft a REAL winger for once. At third if they cant get a good trade I wouldnt be mad but Carrel look better.

@FutureTreKroner 6’2 size. Hawks have continued to say they want deep Center depth. Stenberg is 5’11 not sure what they will prioritize

If the top 8 went like this, what would be your reaction?

@FutureTreKroner @TheProspectDon And still got Boisvert and moore at center

@TheProspectDon But haven't they said they view, Bedard, Frondell and Nazar as centers. Sure two of them are smaller but that's still deep. I still feel like there is quite the gap after McKenna and Stenberg. I feel like a lot of people are a bit disregarding of the arguably best SHL D-Y ever

@Nick27420344 @BenPopeCST Do you know the price other team are asking him for player like pettersson, knies or Thomas ? They are probably asking for nazar, rinzel or levshunov and he is better not trading any of them. The best choice is waiting for the lottery if we are not top 2 trade the pick

@BenPopeCST Now this is what we want to see, but is Davidson willing to take some risks? I personally don’t think so

Danny Wirtz on the possibility of big summer addition: "I don’t think our plan has always been exclusively to build from within." "When...we have the opportunity to add to our team and become better, there’s nothing holding Kyle back, that’s for sure. It’s not coming from me."

@LoganKane24 @BenPopeCST He does that for every prospect who is not nhl ready yet. You learn a lot watching from the stand and in the bench you dont have time to watch the other player. Korchinski and Reichel was rushed in the nhl and look at them now they lost the year of developpement.

@BenPopeCST Because Blashill keeps scratching him for some unknown reason

45 minutes after Blackhawks practice ended, Sacha Boisvert is still on the ice alone, shooting pucks

@MarkosAmieleos @stevecycles200 @jayzawaski Caufield look good no?

@stevecycles200 @jayzawaski Save me undersized rookie forward

Before the game, Blashill talked about Bedard creating chances his teammates don't finish. For evidence, watch the first six minutes of this game's 2nd period.

@bvbfan12trvz @ByScottPowers Worth nothing. Bad offensively, really bad in his zone and 5m a year

@ByScottPowers keep him one more year and trade in the deadline

Teräväinen with consecutive turnovers in the neutral zone. His game has fallen lately.

@stansilver2024 @BenPopeCST 6,6m and the contract start next year

@BenPopeCST He's being paid five million dollars a year of course he has to stay positive. Lol

Frank Nazar: "I [have] full belief in our team. I think our team can skate with any other team in the league. I love these guys, and I think everybody in here has got the heart and the skill to do it right. Sometimes stuff like that happens, and we've got to learn from it."

@UpLakeBorder76 @BenPopeCST Theodore who made team Canada didnt have a single hit in 60 game so your statement is just stupide

@BenPopeCST What a twat. He should say "hit or you sit"

Blashill's message to the Blackhawks today: "If you defend hard, you'll have the puck way more, and the game is way more fun to play." He later added: "We've made some tough reads in the neutral zone, and that's given up rushes we hadn't given up most of the year. Some of that is us trying to get them to gap better, and it's almost like the pendulum swing from not gapping enough to almost charging the rush."

@Brettmanjm @ByScottPowers @CRoumeliotis I see Kantserov like a reinhart type a shooter and frondell like a zibanejad type a shooter. I can be wrong but from what I saw its a good comparaison

@ByScottPowers @CRoumeliotis Anyone know how his shot compares to Frondell

Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov finished the regular season as the KHL's leading goal scorer with 36 goals in 63 games. He's the first under-23 player to lead the league in goals since Kirill Kaprizov.

@Leegrasemann @FriedgeHNIC For sure he know how dumb bowman is

@FriedgeHNIC KD loves doing business with his old boss 😂😭

Edmonton and Chicago are discussing another move This one would send Jason Dickinson to the Oilers. We will see how it turns out

@Miguel045064975 @CRoumeliotis This year we have 4 overpaid contract and Weber contract which will end. So with nazar and bedard new contract and Ellis we will make the next cap

@CRoumeliotis Was Ellis a throw in like Shane Webber ?

#Blackhawks acquire defenseman Jake Furlong, a 2028 4th-round pick, and the contract of Ryan Ellis from San Jose in exchange for defenseman Nolan Allan, goaltender Laurent Brossoit and a 2028 7th-round pick.

@TalkinHawkey Fourth on paper but play more than the second line

#Blackhawks prospect AJ Spellacy back on the 4th line for Team USA in their 3rd game of the 2026 World Juniors against Slovakia.

@zach_r_01 @Evojosh99 @usahockey @WinmarkResale Are u high on crack? Spellacy hutson mcmorrow ziemer and zellers all played better than him first game. Flashy and being good is not the same

@Evojosh99 @usahockey @WinmarkResale He was one of their best players last game

How we're stacking up against the Swiss! #WorldJuniors Preview: usah.info/2p8s5df3 | @WinmarkResale

@ryanj7800 @puckempire If you only want to see the good side its your choice. And wow 2 good pass when the fourth line scored 3 goal and had 3 good chance to score shorthanded + all the hit they did. Hagens game in one word would be "if". He was good but the fourth line did everything possible.

PuckEmpire's top-5 from this game: 1. Cole Hutson 🇺🇸 2. James Hagens 🇺🇸 3. Will Zellers 🇺🇸 4. AJ Spellacy 🇺🇸 5. Brendan McMorrow 🇺🇸

@PuckBunkerBoyce @nickiacoban He is a center. He is just able to play wing too but he is better center.

@nickiacoban He’s a winger not a centre

Anton Frondell has significantly slowed down since his red-hot start this season. General consensus still sees him as a top-line center, while my model sees him as a middle of the lineup guy. We'll see who's right over the next few seasons. #Blackhawks

@WallyWest1978 @nickiacoban Frondell played left wing all year last year.

@nickiacoban With his goal scoring ability, can you see him shifting to wing in the NHL (and on the top line with Bedard)?

@davidh3086 @BenPopeCST Demidov was the best players but Levshunov was the most usefull for the futur. With frondell last year and probably mckenna or stenberg this year I really think it was the right move

@BenPopeCST Good stuff Ben. Gryz has been a pleasant surprise. Curious to see what Kyle gets for him leading up to the deadline. I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think Lev is going to be a stud.

Blackhawks veteran Matt Grzelcyk on Artyom Levshunov: "I can’t imagine barely knowing English and having to digest all [of this] on the fly... It’s fun to see he wants to learn, he wants to get better and he wants to start communicating more." Story: chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/202…
