Is Vasilevskiy back? He gives them a better chance for sure, but they are getting old with a lot of mileage the past few years. Kinda mirrors the Hawks.way too early to bank on the Bolts' falling to 12th, but it's looking great currently. big difference between ~12 & ~20. Lindstrom & Yakemchuk/Brandsegg-Nygard would be a haul (not sold on Eiserman)
Yeah, he came back a week agoIs Vasilevskiy back? He gives them a better chance for sure, but they are getting old with a lot of mileage the past few years. Kinda mirrors the Hawks.
...and got lit up last night by Dallas.Yeah, he came back a week ago
Just checked his stats. Oof! I'm sure he'll work his way back to form.Yeah, he came back a week ago
Bedard outworked Hedman on the first goal he scored in Tampa. Stripped him of the puck behind the net and then beat him to the net to pounce on the rebound.not a Bolts guy (so, talking out of my rear), but big guys typically slow down quicker (than normal sized guys) as they get into their 30s. perhaps Hedman is experiencing it. lotta wear and tear over the years.
the Hagel trade is looking like it's gonna work out wonderfully for the Hawks
So...if you finish last and wind up with the first overall pick, does that count as winning the lottery? Asking for a friend...

If you move up in the draft, that is considered “winning”. That’s what I have been told.So...if you finish last and wind up with the first overall pick, does that count as winning the lottery? Asking for a friend...

Next year we will start seeing some meaningful free agent signings I would think. This team is going to be a lot better next year. Tons of cap space and draft capital. 80% of this roster will look different in two years. Do they get it right? Who knows, but the opportunity will be there.Gotcha, thanks all. It's a bit odd since technically your ping pong ball would come up, but it makes sense. Hopefully we're not consistently in a situation where it would matter, but the light at the end of the tunnel looks very small right now.

I’d say it depends on how the young D progress this year. And who plays in net next year. They definitely need forward help.Next year we will start seeing some meaningful free agent signings I would think. This team is going to be a lot better next year.

I can’t see them sitting on $30 million of cap space next year. A few short term deals like the Taylor Hall deal along with development of some young guys will make this team better. Not saying they are going all in but you can’t roll this back out again.I think you're advancing the timetable by a year, minimum.
They have almost

This team would be a bit better with Hall and Perry but things happen.
I have never seen a goal scored like Bedard just did tonight in St. Louis to put the Blackhawks on the scoreboard.
Soderblom isn't remotely close to being a NHL goalie. His career record is 4-22-3 with a 3.83 GAA and a SP of .881.This team is beyond bad. Giving up five goals in last 15 minutes.
