You front runner!

 

It is such a great story, they put together a young ,hungry roster full of 2nd and 3rd liners from every team. It will be interesting to see how they react in crunch time when the good teams take them more seriously every game.

 

Enjoy the tickets, hockey is the best sport of the major four to be a spectator at, taking all seats into account.

Your last place Chicago Blackhawks, just realized that. It's such a cluster though, they really need to change the point format for overtime. 3-2-1-0 would be so much better

Nice win tonight. Glass has been a great story in a pretty dismal season.

The Golden Knights are fast

And physical. They just beat the Hawks ass all over the ice.

Cody Franson was also waived. One less slow defensemen for Quenneville to play now.

Mark Lazerus‏Verified account @MarkLazerus 19m19 minutes ago Brent Seabrook is indeed a healthy scratch tonight. He said Q didn't offer specifics why. "I've just got to be better," he told me.

Poor guy is gonna be a whipping boy for the fans over the next several years. It's not his fault Bowman offered him the long, soon to be very bad contract.

Not sure which one shocks me more. Quenneville actually having the balls to scratch Seabrook or Erik Gustafsson actually wearing the Indian Head again.

Bob McKenzie‏Verified account @TSNBobMcKenzie 16m16 minutes ago Expectation is that Brent Seabrook to draw back into CHI lineup tonight vs. MIN after being a healthy scratch last night vs. OTT.

Wow... nice trade for the Hawks (depending on the other pieces not being too crazy).

Hawks trade Panik and Dauphin for Duclair and Clendenning. Great deal for the Hawks.

Dauphin must feel like Jeremy Morin. Love the deal.

Clendenning? Kenny always got his guy and Stan always gets back one of his own.

Saves come cap space and opens up a contract spot after this year.

Love that this kid is a real speedster. Although I'm confused about how many years of team control we have on him.

He's a RFA after this season

That Panik contract ended up looking crappy. Maybe he'll play up to it in AZ but I doubt it. Duclair is a nice get,gimme youth and speed all day.

He's a RFA after this season

 

 

Right, but for how many years does he carry that designation? Do the Hawks control him for only 2 more years, or could it be 4 more years? I don't know all the nuances of RFA.

I have no idea either, but looking it up it looks like players can't be unrestricted until age 27 or 7 years in the league, so he has 3 or 4 more seasons until then. While the Hawks would have control, they still would have to fit his salary under the cap, so no guarantees that he stays if he does well. At this point in his career, his salary isn't as limited like they do in baseball.
