soxfan49 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Nobody reacquires their former (bad) players quite like the Hawks. A second round pick + two other picks for Andrew fucking Shaw. I used to love NHL offseasons. Now Bowman has completely lost his fucking mind. This is a circus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hahaha Bowman loves getting ex Blackhawks. I HATE giving up futures, but I LOVE Shaw so I don't mind this (don't love or hate it basically). I will say this team was charmin soft last year and I like that we're getting the Caggiula/Shaw type guys to mix in with the skill players. And he put up a career high 47 points in 63 games last season so he's gotten better since he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYoIsMyHero Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 NHL GMs are throwing crazy money so far. All quiet on the Lee front today which is something to think about. As for Shaw, as long as hes healthy I like it a lot. Love that rascal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hawks sign Ryan Carpenter to a 3 year 1 AAV. Great deal. He's a better Kruger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Damn, I am excited about the Hawks right now. This off season has been great. Trade out Anisomov and maybe another piece on D and regain that cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hull the player is an all time great. Bobby Hull the person is an all time asshole. There are two separate boxes in my head so that both of those things are accurate.

Hull did some things above and beyond being a Nazi sympathizer to make him a first class asshole. But yes, that is where I was going.

soxfan49 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I don't get that move at all. Jokiharju had some good moments and now he's being dealt for essentially nothing. Two years ago I had high hopes for HJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I'm in a bind with this one. I actually like Alex Nylander alot and think he'll have a Strome like resurgence but I really, really like Jokiharju and the intangibles he brings. I don't get this one. Well... I get it but... damn.

Lip Man 1 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Surprised by this move, I though this kid was highly regarded by the Hawks and its not like Q was still the head coach. His history with rookies was pretty well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I thought they could have received more, but Nylander has crazy upside and they have at least 5 D with similar or better upside than Jokiharju. I'm going to let this play out before tearing Stan a new asshole for this one. Kneejerk reaction was ew though.

Southwest Sider Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The masses hate this deal. It does look pretty bad considering how high some are on Jokiharju and low some are on Nylander. This'll be a wait and see trade. Hawks better be right in their evaluation of Nylander and self scouting of Joki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks actually saved like 62K from the deal. So if you wanna call it saving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
