It was unfortunate we didn't get a better look at Lankinen this year but injuries and a log jam at he position didn't allow it,gotta make the decision on a re-do none the less. The Finn sounded like he was ready for some NHL action after his stellar WC performance and I wonder how much more patience he'll have here,with Delia already a high paid GT prospect,I doubt we'll see two. I don't know how the cap works for Rockford other than call-ups have to fit within the Hawks cap available. But Deals was only making 25K more than Lanky. Tho he is RFA after the season. Will he force the Hawks/Rockford to sign and play him next season or will he bolt for Europe? I just read the injury report gt posted and to be honest,I have no idea how any of this works out now. An injury plagued,inconsistent season gives Lankinen almost no leverage at all and our goaltending pool looks a lot shallower than it did to start the season. If that hit to CC's head "teams know they can get away with that now" to quote Foley,if that hit was an inch or two in the wrong direction our GT situation woulda got real ugly real fast. Crawford's been a BEAST and the main reason the team is in the hunt! |

Would it be enough to be a viable alternative for him? GT posted in the Rockford thread that Lankinen has been ruled out for the rest of the season. This means he will have played in 21 games this year. When you add in 19 games from last year, he's only had 40 games in two seasons combined at Rockford. It isn't hard to see how the Hawks would look at it; sign a FA as backup, retain Lankinen and put him back at Rockford and watch him in more games. And hope he looks good enough to put him on speed dial in case of injuries. Surely he'll be in training camp but I'd like to see him in some real games at some point. Won't Delia and Tompkins still be around? |

As far as money goes, he will probably play more games in Europe which would be better for his confidence. We know the Hawks suck the confidence out of players. |

Yeah he shouldn't have been on that list, even his last year in juniors his numbers went down because he focused on becoming a 2way player, which he did, and he looked good in his first NHL game playing with Keith. That's pretty good considering it's only his first year pro. And I can see Bowman liking some of them, he might try and get Andersson from NY. |

That was a good read, all are 6'3" or taller and Big Mo could be a diamond in the rough, the highlights from his draft season were very impressive and he moves well for a big guy with a huge shot. Perlini for Regula could be a great trade, back to back 60pt seasons by Hawks D prospects who played for the same team is nice to see. Unlike Boqvist though Regula has the size and frame for the NHL at 6'4" 207lbs. Plus he plays the LW on the PP 👍 Teply could've went late 2nd or 3rd round on his size and skating alone, add his hard accurate shot and it surprising he fell to the 4th. Not to mention he loves hockey and said he wanted to get to North America right after the draft and he did and never looked out of place. To bad Gravel had a bad year but I didn't know he had a gruesome foot injury and missed a month, I knew a lot of vets were gone so his numbers would go down but not as much as they did. Hopefully he rebounds because he's huge and looked good last season. |

I know 7th rounders face real long odds of ever making it to the NHL but from what I've read about him, he seems the kind of d-man the Hawks could use; an offensive dman with size that will play physical when he needs to. I've read he's got, as you mention, a big time shot; he has good size and is a great skater and will play physical if necessary. I did read he's been on bad teams and had poor plus/minuses. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks eventually sign him or not. The NHL would be a ways down the road but when you read about his skillset and abilities, he's probably worth taking a look at and see if he develops. I'm guessing he has areas on defense that need work. |

I know it was a defensive heavy draft so maybe that's why, plus he needs to work on his D, hopefully not as bad as Gus but at least he's big and a righty. And there's a compilation video I watched after he was drafted and besides his heavy accurate shot I was really impressed with his agility. As much as most of us can't stand Bowman this was a good draft and they all looked good this season, plus moving Perlini for Regula might be a good trade. Regula really stepped up this season and would've had 30 goals if it wasn't for this pandemic, plus he's a leader and played 3yrs under Hunter, if you weren't a leader he wouldn't make you a co-captain. |

Gravel had a snake and fish aquarium and terrarium on a table and the table broke and a piece of glass went into his foot, only 3 stitches but you can see it poking the other side of his foot 🤢 but the doctor said it went in a 'good' spot and there's no serious damage.

I’d dearly love to see him traded to a contender for his final year so he can continue to improve and go out a winner. |

Another article from The Rink . When we were kicked out of the old site and before T-man built us this homeless shelter The Rink was one of the sites I signed on to but there is literally zero traffic there, but occasionally an interesting article. This is one about Ian Mitchell. www.the-rink.com/what-are-the-chicago-blackhawks-getting-in-ian-mitchell/Now that our prospect pool for defense is stocked with enough young players with a nice assortment of skills, and there are a lot of veterans in the mix as well, shouldn’t the Hawks be moving a piece or three to move up and either improve their pick or get that second first round pick? Which of the prospects garners the most while losing the least? It’s reasonable to see some mix of Boqvist, Beaudin, Carlsson, Mitchell, Regula, Vlasic, Demin, Moberg, Gilbert...plus a couple of vets that will linger into the future, on this team someday. Bowman likes to trade his former #1’s, would moving Boqvist, who is starting to look like a bit of a bandaid, be a reasonable move when there are a couple of potential PP QB’s in the pipeline? There may be an opportunity here to maneuver in this draft and get us the next one, possibly even two, franchise forwards. |

I think AA #2 is worth a try. I've read a little about him and the general opinion is he has great speed and is offensively skilled, although I don't know how he projects. Apparently the Hawks are impressed enough to give him a try. He can't score much less than Sikura did. There is a GIF about half way down in the video where he shows good speed. I think the video may have been posted on the old board. I wonder if the other Russian will ever come over; didn't he sign a two year deal last season that will keep him in Russia for a while longer. I'm not surprised Barratt was signed. I guess it's now up to AA and Barratt. puck77.com/2019/04/17/chicago-blackhawks-andrei-altybarmakyan/ |

I'm happy to see the big Finn goaltender re-signed and the rest,we'll see. There's ONE forward listed at 200lbs or more in the entire system and that's a 24yro who's already back in Europe and a handful @190 or more. The team's lack of push back and ruggedness isn't only groomed in......it's also bred in apparently. They BETTER be fast! blackhawks.ice.nhl.com/club/roster.htm?type=prospect&location=/prospects |

Ryan Shea is completely under the radar. Wonder if he gets a PTO from Rockford. hate seeing 4th round picks go up in smoke. i'm guessing he saw how many defensemen were in the pipeline and figured his chances were better elsewhere. and on that note, i wish they'd signed mitchell and made that quartet of signings a quintet. |

I like to wait till I see em in the bigs to make a call nowadays but how in the world does any GM trade a 19yro,large framed,right shot D-man with big OHL numbers for Perlini? I wasn't Perlini's biggest critic and I didn't think he had any chance at all after signing cheap but Rigula has 27 F'n goals...…..in 56 games......in the OHL!
It looks like it could be one of SB's few good trades lately but it actually looks more like a bad trade by Detroit.

sucks to lose out on Shea, although I can't claim to know how big of a loss it is.
with Mitchell, I've been saying for a while now that if he doesn't sign this off season, we should immediately be looking to trade him. can't lose a high second rounder like him for nothing.
