no he hasn't shown enough to earn a spot. Rinzel showed way more at the end of last season then collapsed at the beginning of this season. Korchkinski playing decent-good in a handful of throw away games is meaningless, how will he fare in a full season? a lot of people think arty should spend time in the ahl, theres no way korchinski leaps arty
35:18 Jordan B is Blashill with a joke shop mustache and a fedora.
Completely agreed with ur takes about a summer trade. It’s a question of do you want IMMEDIATE results in a Knies or, do you trust that Kantserov/ Lardis can develop into being players who produce on that level. I’m leaning more towards sticking with & betting on the players you’ve got with Bedard/Nazar/Frondell/ Lardis/ Kantserov because as they develop so will the defense. Whereas right now I don’t think the team is ready for a Knies
no he hasn't. I'm not nearly as negative on him as I have been all year, I can see improvement. A lot is going to depend on his off season…and whose roster spot would he take anyway?. I'd rather develop our players here at home, I think you'd have to give up too much to get a Knies or Robertson that it would be detrimental to the team moving forward
Blackhawks can trade from surplus.
NHL quality prospect Small forward like Kantsernov or Lardis.
High 1st Rd pick (NOT 1st or 2nd pick overall 2026 pick) Toronto and fanbase will want immediate help back for Knies….plus Toronto has zero 1st or 2nd rd picks in 2026.
Quality prospect. BH have several (surplus) similar 1st RD bottom 6 prospects. Boisvert/Vanacker/Nastrasil/West
High 2nd Rd pick: BH have large surplus of 2026 2nd picks and 2027 2nd rd picks.
NHL rostered young players: Greene/Slaggert/EDM/Soderbloom
Cap Space: we could take back an aging veteran like 32 yr old McCabe at 4.5 mil for 5 yrs to give Toronto cap relief
Not saying we trade one of everything here of course. Just pointing out BH surpluses that we can trade from that won’t hurt the team too much yet net a great return in Knies.
BH could immediately inject a big, heavy 6’3” 230lbs winger, 25 goal, 60 pt scorer, player who hits, can fight, a player who has played 80 games three years in a row, 23 years old under contract for four years, at a reasonable price of 7.75 million. Exactly the type of player of the Chicago Blackhawks do NOT 13:11 have anywhere in their system. Knies would fit in perfectly with this group talent/agewise without waiting for 2026 draft choice to develop..
I’ll add I would not trade Oliver Moore, I would rather offer Lardis or Kantsernov if that’s what it takes to make the deal. Both Lardis and Kantsernov are small wingers. we have enough of those. Moore has a super power that nobody else has tremendous speed. Moore plays on the power-play and the penalty kill and is a center or winger.
