@BlackhawkAaron @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb The youngest team in the league and they’re only about 10 points out of the wild card race. It’s not a huge gap. They finished with 61 points last year. They’re only getting better. They have plenty of cap to add via trade or FA once an opportunity presents itself.
English

@iamMikeA @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb They already have that goalie and Center playing and have been and are still the 2nd worst team in the league. You can just draft prospects and win a cup it doesn’t work like that

I want this kid on the Hawks.
There’s gotta be some type of asset management that allows it to work.

Viggo Björck (#2026NHLDraft) has continued to dominate with Djurgården's U20 squad after their SHL team got eliminated. So far, he's added 6G, 6A in 5 playoff games, scoring this game-winner in yesterday's game to help his team advance to the semifinals.

@iamMikeA @BlackhawkAaron @OviClapBomb No way he thinks Seth Jones was a good player. Omg that guy is retarded you need to stop interacting with him
English

@BlackhawkAaron @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb They have arguably the top prospect pool in the NHL, one of the best young centers, one of the best young goalies. It’s going to be almost impossible for them to to be, at the very least,“good” in a few years. That’s not a hot take.
English

@iamMikeA @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb I have news the hawks won’t be good. Unless they get insane lottery luck
English

@BlackhawkAaron @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb He helped them win a cup. That’s great. He’s also a 2nd pair defenseman on a bad team this year. I have a hard time believing his value will come close to Knight’s when the Hawks are good in a few years.
English

@iamMikeA @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb Sure that’s fine but he can’t carry this team only so much a goalie can do he won’t have the effect with us like Jones has had with Florida
English

@BlackhawkAaron @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb Conveniently left out the bit where they also received one of the best young goalies in the NHL.
English

@iamMikeA @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb Retaining salary and taking on pick protection is never a w. Especially considering Seth Jones has been very good for the panthers and was crucial in their cup win
English

@HaggertyU @Leegrasemann @BarstoolChief No, Levshunov was the rawest of the top rated Dmen in that draft. He played in Belarus 2 years prior. He had very little competitive experience.
English

@BlackhawkAaron @PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb You don’t have to like Davidson to know that trade was a huge W. Take the blinders off, son.
English

@PuckKnower98 @OviClapBomb Been right about almost everything go suck Davidson off somewhere else and don’t interact with me.
English

@Leegrasemann @BarstoolChief Easily the most pro ready LHD. Not exciting but should be a good player.
English

@BarstoolChief It makes me sick to my stomach, but I’ve been watching Alberts Smits tape.

@JDinLM @BradBiggs I’m not saying the Bears don’t deserve the picks, I’m saying it’s not a lateral move and that ATL has a unconventional structure. How the rule is worded, they are not getting the picks because Cunningham isn’t at the top. Definitely against the spirit of the rule.
English

@iamMikeA @BradBiggs And the guy who is in said higher position said that Cunningham will be making all player/personnel decisions (as GMs do).
English

NFL announced the #Bears will not receive compensatory draft picks.
"The matter is now closed following the club’s appeal. The NFL informed the Bears today they will not receive compensatory picks.
(1 of 2)
English

@JDinLM @BradBiggs Not a lateral move. AGM is still under GM. ATL just has a higher position than GM in their organizational structure.
English

@BradBiggs Considering the league views him going from Assistant GM to GM a lateral move, could the Bears have blocked his interview w/ ATL? Shouldn't teams try to block their execs from leaving for these non-GM GM spots in the future?
English

@MarkLazerus Anyone playing the Spencer Knight wardrobe malfunction drinking game?
English

@ScoutmasterRizz @NHL_Watcher I’m a Hawks fan and I couldn’t care less if they get it. Good for Mac, he’s awesome. Not everyone is pitting them against each other.
English

@insiderJmoney @grantmccagg @thesickpodcasts Smh. Frondell, a point per game player, should be #1 by a Swedish mile.

@SoftServeHockey @ByronMBader Ah I see what you’re saying. I wouldn’t imagine it’s because it’s not pure extrapolation and includes some factor of expected points.
English

@iamMikeA @ByronMBader D2 NHLe = 31 on Bader's chart. Levshunov is in the NHL, and one of the oldest in his class, so I don't fully understand why the NHLe is > actual points pace.
English

Levshunov had a nice, productive year, rebounding from an OK D+1. Currently sits at a 81% star probability after his D+2. Going to be a stud for the Blackhawks over the next decade +. Book it.

BHF@BlackhawksFocus
Artyom Levshunov will miss the remainder of the season with the hand fracture, per Jeff Blashill.
English

@FigmentofYour19 @ByronMBader @walleyeb1 Don’t agree with that at all. He doesn’t get overly emotional or frantic. That doesn’t mean it’s low effort.
English

@ByronMBader @walleyeb1 Not worried about his positioning, lack of effort…
I want him to be but there are more times than not he looks like he doesn’t care.
