Talking Hawks & NHL


One of the biggest differences between successful rebuilds and failed rebuilds is the ability to make important trades. The most famous one is Florida trading for Tkachuk. When Cutter Gauthier unexpectedly became available, Anaheim jumped in and made the trade happen. When Montreal realized they had a huge hole at RHD, they made the trade for Dobson happen (and they'll probably make a couple more moves this offseason). Buffalo is nowhere near their current position if they didn't fleece in the JJ Peterka deal. Even non-rebuilds have made a living off those moves (Carolina making the most of the Rantanen situation, Minnesota trading for Hughes, Colorado trading for two goalies and for Devon Toews and Kadri and several others, etc.) The biggest disconnect between Kyle Davidson and the #Blackhawks fanbase is that so far, he's *tried* to make big moves but has failed. Once he closes out a big deal, the fanbase's narrative will quickly change.



The Dallas Stars players apparently love blondes as much as I do 😂



Hot take: Vlasic - Rinzel will be a top 10 Defensive pairing this season #Blackhawks
