Vancouver Accepts

I'm hesitant to put Reichel in the NHL this fast. I would prefer to allow him a little more time to develop. I also don't see BOTH Ladd and Loui working. We still need to be cap complaint on day 1. Do the Loui trade if VAN will do it. I'd like to have maybe 1 or 2 UFAs come to CHI, but not sure which one just yet. I'm hopeful Toews comes back. Other than that...I like it!

NYI accepts

I think Reichel is ready. He's looked great in the DEL. At a very minimum give him his 9 game tryout in the NHL and if he looks out of place let him develop in rockford for a year

I don't think they do. Benning said in the offseason he wasn't willing to move bad contracts at the cost of draft picks. I also think this whole " 2 more years until we're competitive " thing he mentioned recently is just him admitting he's going to wait out the Eriksson, Beagle, and Rousell contracts

maybe if its only one 2nd rounder
