If we still had Q, I would be very optimistic heading in to this offseason. With the money, I guess most are hoping for a reunion with Panarin. I wouldn't be totally against that. The sequence of events if it occurs is somewhat funny. 1. Saad for Anisimov+ 2. Panarin for Saad 3. ??? 4. Sign Panarin 5. Have All 3 Sadly enough, the Blue Jackets would be at the brunt of these jokes. I absolutely cannot argue against Coach Q and don't wish to. I believe I would feel the same way about a Hawks bolstered roster under Q next year as I would under current conditions. Perhaps even better. The only thing that is interesting to me is that Bowman seemed to quickly get rid of "Q guys" like Manning shortly after his departure, which means there might have been some level of disagreement as to personnel and hockey strategy between the GM and the coach. After the disappointments of the last few seasons, I am honestly excited for an organizational refresh while Toews and Kane are still young-ish. That said, I wouldn't find it shocking in the least if Q is back strong with a new organization soon. Maybe it was time for a new voice, maybe not. Time will tell.

GGajewski18 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Anisomov is likely to be traded in my opinion. At least he should be with the young talent coming up. If you can get anything for him, you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally unexpected with his ice time dwindling and the return of Murphy and now Forsling. Maybe was getting a little sloppy in his own end. Still so young . Just sent him down to get him more ice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked out nicely 30th goal for his 900th point in his hometown. I think he's got something like 36 points in his last 16 games. Volcanic.

SoxAce Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Don't look now, but the Blackhawks are 2 points out of a playoff spot (yes that's how bad the Western Conference is). Kane pretty much has the MVP locked up if this team somehow manages to squeak in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal probably would have been Spooner and Sekera for Seabrook. More short term pain for long term gain. They'd add ~4M to the cap for the next 2 seasons. Then Spooner would be off, and by 2022 Sekera would be off. Edited February 3, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Tony said: That’s tough because of the Hawks window with 2-19-88, but think you pull the trigger. I think... Sekera might never play hockey again, so he only would restrict offseason space. Pretty similar situation to if they kept Hossa. They probably could have ended up dumping his contract on Ottawa, but I don't know if real dollars<caphit. That is the only way you could move something like that. I was actually wrong about the money and years. It would only add ~1.7M and they'd get all of it off the books by 2021. Edmonton does it because the window is now for them, and they're already up against the cap. Every bit helps. Also, Spooner could get buried in the minors and they'd get 950K back from that. It would only cost them one ELC roster spot. Edited February 3, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they would tell Seabrook that they want to shop him around, before actually having an interested party willing to make a deal. Awkward to get him to agree to being traded and then say "Ahh, nevermind, no one wanted you" or "No one wanted to give up anything of value for you" if/when he doesn't get moved.

Here come the Hawks! Tied with 4 other teams now with 51 points but listed as 7th now in the WC, and only 3 points away from the 2nd seed in Western Conference but 4 of the teams ahead have anywhere from 1-3 games less played. Shows what 5 wins in a row in a bad conference can do. Helluva 3rd period last night. Nice road wins. Back home now / Let's see if that 1st game back at home is a let up game. A win against the Canucks would be huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
