2 weeks from now Jay O'Brien can sign anywhere.
Due to his speed, we'll see if Kyle takes a flyer. (pun intended)

Agreed. Thought they might bring back Grimaldi for the hogs but Bjork is a nice addition. Probably gets a nhl deal also around deadline time.Bjork is really gonna help out Rockford. Helps ease the loss of Luke Philp.
A quote from the articleIlya Safonov (who the board has deemed “not a top 20 Blackhawk prospect) just made the Athletics list of “5 best pro players in the world not playing in the NHL” along with guys like Nemec.
He continues to be 6’3” and over 200 pounds at Center as the board worries about size down the middle with bedard Moore and Nazar. Criminally underrated prospect around here. He’s a 22 year old Captain in the KHL.
He could be the rarest item of all: An impact player chosen from the depths of the NHL Draft at age 20.
Seems like a no brainer to bring him over to play third line center in 2025-26. Obviously if it doesn’t work out, he can go back to Russia but it seems like the potential is there to at least get the opportunity when his KHL deal expires.Ilya Safonov (who the board has deemed “not a top 20 Blackhawk prospect) just made the Athletics list of “5 best pro players in the world not playing in the NHL” along with guys like Nemec.

The article title is misleading, in the article itself it's a different category, for instance, I don't think anyone in the world considers Safonov a top 5 KHL player right now, it's just the other KHL vets that are the best players in the League aren't "prospects".I don't have a subscription to TheAthletic - who are the other 3 players, in addition to Safonov and Nemec, they say are the 5 best pro players not playing in the NHL?
