Washington passes on trading a big league pick for minor league wingers, but would be interested in Duncan Keith or Jonathan Toews, provided Chicago will eat half their salary. Wouldn't say no to Franson, DeBrincat, Schmalts, or, while we're t it, Soshnikov.

Pens fan here..can Bouma play center? If not hard to see the Penguins having interest in him

Thanks for the non-headline breaking news.

Oesterle and Hinostroza are younger, affordable players, there's no reason to trade them this season.

As I think about the Blackhawks as the TDL approaches, I keep thinking they don't really have players to sell that'll bring back any significant prospect or pick. I mean, Sharp to Tampa Bay? I imagine they already have someone to be a healthy scratch and/or someone to help the 2nd power play unit not score goals. Bouma & Wingels are fine bottom six wingers and maybe a contender does want them, but I don't see how they net a top prospect to make it worth it to trade them.

The future is very bright for the Hawks.... I also hope the Hawks win the draft lottery and end up picking first overall - just so the Hawk haters heads explode.

The Hawks have one bad season and come out of it with a franchise defenseman in Rasmus Dahlin .... LOL, priceless!!

The Hawks would have an elite defense for the next dacade with Henri Jokiharju & Rasmus Dahlin...

So yea, don't hold your breath - the Hawks will be fine and will certainly be back contending for the Cup next season, perhaps with Rasmus Dahlin or Brady Tkachuk.
