If its "only" six weeks, he could be back for the playoffs. Yay.

Clarity on cap relief- With Kane on LTIR, the Hawks get $5.45 mil in cap space. Player cap hit - available cap space = relief.

As Hawks shift through their trade options now in wake of Kane injury, hearing that Antoine Vermette is a player they like among others...

Sharp banging more chicks?

 

His extracurricular activities have always been well known, but if he pulled a Dave Martinez/Rafael Palmiero, that could be more trouble.

Tuevo officially recalled TVR officially sent to RFD for conditioning Kane officially to LTIR

Daniel Winnik to the Penguins.

 

Jiri Tsulsty to the Jets.

It seems like the Penguins are always extra active at the deadline.

 

Jets needed to replace Kane & Perrault. They had just been moving Dusty Buffs back & forth between winger & D.

Kings get Andrej Sekera. Great.

Kane is now out 12 weeks instead of the 6-10 initial reports. That puts him back around the Stanley Cup Finals.

This is interesting. If you make it far in the playoffs, then you can bring Kaner back along with the extra reinforcements over the cap.

All I heard on The Score today was about Derrick Rose injury and the Bears of course. Only mention of Kane was to mention it in the same sentence as Rose because they happened to occur on the same night. Kane's injury is a VASTLY bigger blow to his team than Rose's.

1. One of those injuries has long-term franchise changing implications, the other one doesn't.

2. One of those players has two championships already, the other one doesn't.

3. Nobody cares about hockey.

4. This isn't Kanes 3rd major injury. Kane has played more games in just this season, then Rose has in the last 3 combined.

Well one sport is the 2nd most popular in this country and the other sport is hockey. I love the Blackhawks but the NBA and the Bulls especially moves the meter. Just the way it is.

So Steve Konroyd is on the Score right now, and I swear he just said Clint Reiff took his own life. I never heard any confirmation of the cause of his death

That news came out a while ago, I remember being at a game in January and we talked about it being announced.

That's interesting that Konroyd actually said Reiff took his own life, it seems like most people close to the Hawks would just say he passed away.

That is sad. I missed that article in the herald

It's really not that difficult to understand why the Rose injury is a bigger story.

It's only because basketball is more popular in America. There is no question which injury is more significant.

A tweet from @davediehl66 about a rumored fight in the Blackhawks' locker room sends Twitter into a tizzy: http://bit.ly/1BBXEgl

ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks 8m8 minutes ago

The Blackhawks have acquired forward Spencer Abbott from the Maple Leafs in exchange for defenseman T.J. Brennan.

BREAKING TRADE- @NHLDevils Jaromir Jagr to @FlaPanthers for a Second round pick and a conditional third .

 

 

As cool as it would have been to see Jagr in a Hawks jersey, I don't think this version of him would have helped all that much.

but i bet he will most definitely help in the captaincy.

The hawks trade sounds about as good as the Regin trade from last year.

 

I may be hockey stupid but the fact he Blackhawks have gone five years now without a second line center continues to mystify me.
