QUESTION OF THE DAY — Do YOU Want To See The Blackhawks Acquire JJ Peterka From Buffalo?
I'd like to see the Hawks get Owen Tippett from the Flyers more!
Eckland would be a great add but the size factor still remains.
Be a dumb move but kyle makes alot of those. He learned from the worst
Give Buffalo Bertuzzi, Reichel and the 25th overall pick for Peterka.
Peterka and Byram for #3 and Korchinski. Then move Byram to Vancouver for the 15th pick.
peterka for nazar then draft hagens? 😀
Eklund (like Hagens) is a great choice for any team who already has a handful of good sized forwards. Eventually, the Hawks need to start adding some big forwards. We can't put this off for another few years.
Buff has nothing in the system lol 😂😂😂
Peterka has Donato-like production. Solid, not spectacular.
No way, I'd trade the number 3 for Peterka. At the very least, you should be able to draft a guy who'd at least be as good. With the 3rd, you're shooting for a star. Now Robertson, on the other hand, now we're talking.
no way give up next years first rd pick
are you nuts?…giving the Sabres the 3rd pick AND your 2nd pick in the 1st round AND a defensive prospect for that guy?…seems like a solid 2nd line option, but not worth that price…
Boycott Wrigley Fields now! Waaaaaaasu up? Da Blackhawks b awite fo sho m hu. Wirlin verlin breakdancer froms Crestwood IL watches. Amysully wat up dog 🐶? 🤘🃏🎸🥃🍺🤤🕺👨❤️💋👨 #2. Kiss tattoos. 🤣😂 Jackie J son 🤡💩 Mike 🧚 Sonia 💃
Get a third team involved…maybe that team would have a player Buffalo woukd accept…
Sabres fan here and guys honestly there’s no trade to be had here. We aren’t taking picks and prospects for Peterka. I feel like we’re in the same boat and a trade doesn’t make sense.
No, but if the Blackhawks got Devon Levi then we are talking…
