Kayumov isn't signing with the Hawks. I don't think Pharand gets an NHL deal, hasn't done enough to earn a contract the last two years considering everyone coming in the pipeline the next 2-3 years. Kantserov we know is signing for 2026-27. Stjernborg, again, not enough of a needle mover for an NHL deal with the glut of prospects coming. Henry won't need an NHL deal for next year, tbd if he earns one. Kelley won't be signed. Safonov could go either way. Felcman not a needle mover. Thompson could go either way, hope he signs. Reading between the lines on Soderstrom, it sounds to me like the Hawks plan on offering him a one-year deal.

But tgere was a Chicago SunTones article back I think on Feb.24th stating Janes had earned a co tract and would signwith the Hawks as soon as hos college team's season (UMD) was over...you would think tge reporter writing that article would have notcsIdcthat of he knew James was not co temptation signing with the Hawks.

Too bad if hebis not signed because he is considered a very goid forechecjer 2 way pkayer and consistent effort type with sone scoring abikity...yes a bottom line projection but we need high effort good defense forwards too ...ratgerctham1 way watchersxwho have trouble staying on their checkcke ir who cannot get to pressure opos dmen in time to get them to cough up pucks so that Hawks stay longer in tgeco-zone...
 
Pridham has added an assist to his total today.. 2g 1a so far in tge game ..

Still 3rd periodcto pkayas 2nd just ended Kitchener up 5-1on Flint.

I'll say when , not If, the Blackhawks win playoff games which prospects will be the key ? Combining Grit and Guts with Talent, Bedard, Boisvert, Vanacker , Misiak ,Savoie, Rinzel, Levshunov,Vlasic,,DelMastro?

Greene they will burn his first year if he signs. we do have games after frozen four ends
Thompson has not made a decision or really even discussed until after frozen four per his agent

Powers also said on twitter that James and the Hawks are negotiating but nothing imminent for him.
Interesting is that the rumors are Aidan Thompson won't sign. They played together in Lincoln, I'm sure they're friends. Wonder if they're both chatting about their moves. Not sure either player is anything to lose sleep over but you never know.
