2026-27 General Trades & Signings

[cw]

Did someone hack the Blackhawks trade value software?

I doublechecked the deal because I thought there probably was a reporting error

I googled Kyle Davidson and Mike Milbury ... and got a bunch of hits ... comparisons were already being made months ago

Maybe Chayka should be giving Kyle Davidson a call .. really soon ..

Every new reveal of this trade made it worse for Chicago.

Byram for 4th overall?

And they took on Greenway who had 1 goal last season and a $4mil cap hit?

And they gave up the 45th overall pick?

And they gave up a seemingly serviceable 6'8" 25-year old depth defenceman?

Make me very curious to see what their offer for Knies was.

I have to think it was similar. So the 4th overall, the 45th pick and the serviceable d-man. Would fans have been happy with that for Knies?

Chicago really really needed a good defenseman.

Moving Byram and Greeway frees up $10m...wonder if they can revisit Tuch.

They have 21M in space with 18 skaters, 3Goalies. They have lots of room to sign him.

I was just looking in to it a little further...Krebs and Benson need new deals as well.

Is Pietrangelo coming back?

I would probably rather have a better roster piece of prospect vs. the 45th pick or serviceable d-man but with the ability to draft one of Malhotra/Reid/Carels, absolutely.

Is Pietrangelo coming back?

Probably not. He has a chronic hip issue that he manages through rehab which allows him to lead a normal life, but would not prepare him for the rigors of the NHL. He's never completely ruled out returning, but he admits it is unlikely.
