I hope they make a decision about whether they are going to finish the season first. the draft should be decided upon after the season is decided, imo.

I say no to Buff. It’s just not worth what he’s want. He’d want at least 5 million per and I really can’t trust him at age 35 to not F*** my team over cap wise. If he wants 2-3 years. And I’ve read he’d want 3. He can pick up and say he’s out and done, then we’re on the hook for the cap the rest of the way. I wouldn’t mind a 1 year deal with him and do it one year at a time. But, I can’t see Stan lasting any longer than this year, so the rebuild is coming soon!!! The Hawks have no interest in him and why the fuck would he want to come to a last place team with the worst coaching and management in the game? Because...... duhhh, he’d get more time off to hunt and fish! I wonder if he hunts with his hands and fishes with his eyes? All in all, I think Buff is a guy that when he’s done, he’s done, and we’ll never hear from him again as he roams freely through the bush of Minnesota and Ontario!!! |

Slavin 👍 nice to hear him name Hjalmarsson. I know the Hawks drafted Slavins younger brother, hopefully he's progressing, he's a big forward. |

Lame idea. I can see a Dylan Sikura in their future!LOL! It sounds like they'll look for the 'shorter/faster' players as they put it and it would be a safe haven from the physical side of the game. We'd ice a hell of a team.....wouldn't we? |

i'd tune in, initially at least. like the majority of hockey fans i love watching 3 on 3 o/t. but idk. 8 teams with 6 skaters each...48 skaters total who would basically be of similar size and skill set? i'm not saying it wouldn't work, but it has too much of an all star game feel to it. i don't think i've watched more than half a period of an all star game (3 on 3 or normal) in years so the novelty might wear off pretty quick. but it's interesting the way they're setting up the league. lots of outside the bubble thinking. edit: it might be something crow would look into when he hangs them up. the shots on goal/breakaway rate of the 3 on 3 game would be something he's gotten accustomed to this season. : ) |

I think going out for a stretch might be a good thing. plus, I think being locked up in your home town and not being able to go see your family and such seems like it would suck worse than being someplace you knew they weren't so easy to reach..... go fuckin 'hawks. 19 is a good number. screw the draft lotto. 😈 |

I'd think they'd look towards cities with the lowest cases of Covid19, of which the last I heard Chicago is not one. |

I'd think they'd look towards cities with the lowest cases of Covid19, of which the last I heard Chicago is not one. that's what i thought. like vader said...all i've heard is mostly vegas and columbus. www.nbcsports.com/chicago/blackhawks/chicago-still-being-considered-nhl-conference-hub-when-hockey-resumesHowever, the city of Chicago does make sense considering its geographical location as well as the amenities needed to accommodate the NHL. Outside of the United Center, the league could use Allstate Arena in Rosement and the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, not to mention the Blackhawks' practice facility, Fifth Third Arena.although vegas has a heap of hotels close to their arena, one of the negatives was the lack of suitable rinks in the city. |

If they did indeed choose Chicago as a hub city, there's the possibility that as no teams would have to travel across the country and no fans would be in the rinks, that the Eastern Conference plays in Chicago, with the Western Conference playing in say.....Columbus. |

Hopefully it doesn't push things back further. time will tell. but as far as i can tell they are still opening (limited sized) training camps on monday. edit: i saw pics just a few hours ago of tyler seguin showing support at a rally in dallas. he was masked up of course so good on him. i'm not trying to be political here but i'm surprised that teams don't have some kind of rule against attending public gatherings like the one seguin was at, especially as we near the start of camp. |

i fear and dread change of any kind but i suppose that over time i would get used to it.
no hockey over the xmas holidays would seem pretty weird though.
btw....the voting was 32.2% that loved it, 29.4% that hated it and 38.4% weren't sure.

plus, those ice conditions will be just fabulous all summer during the playoffs (not that they are great at times in may and june).

I just wonder how teams get any practice time? When you got 24 teams, is it even possible to sneak them all in? I’m still not sold on this. For one I hate the 24 team idea. I really do. Imagine if the Oilers get McDavid or Draisaitl hurt in a round of hockey that should never have existed? Or if the Caps lost Backstrom due to a shtty hit? The 8 teams that shouldn’t be there have absolutely nothing to lose and bad things happen. I still feel the league should of went with 20 teams. 8 of them play for the final 4 spots. Then you get 16. Then you allowed the bubble teams a shot. Teams 13-20 play each other in 3 game series to get down to the final 4. Those 4 join the other 12 and the real playoffs begin!!!

To date, 10 NHL players have been confirmed to have contracted the novel coronavirus. The Boston Bruins confirmed a case earlier this week, while the Pittsburgh Penguins announced June 4 that one of their players had tested positive. That was the first announced case among NHL players since the Colorado Avalanche said April 7 that a third member of the team had returned a positive test result.
The other five players who tested positive are members of the Ottawa Senators.www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/arizona-coyotes-staff-member-tests-positive-covid-19/
