Beginning of the retool.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is a ####### joke of a return

 

[SAADfather]

That seems really underwhelming

 

[Asuna]

damnnn. pretty surprising there

 

[ChiHawks10]

Ummmm... underwhelming return for Hammer, IMO...

Hopefully one of these guys pans out.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dauphin has 3 goals and 1 assist in 32 NHL games

He is average prospect and Murphy is far less capable defender then Hammer

Fire Bowman!

 

[Illinihockey]

Hossa and now Hammer. I'm in mourning

Dauphin has 3 goals and 1 assist in 32 NHL games

He is average prospect and Murphy is far less capable defender then Hammer

Obviously you put a lot of thought into evaluating this trade.

Far less capable?

He was the captain of the US World Championship team, and is 24, and is a pretty decent Dman.

if this all the rtn, i know i am thinking as a fan, but this sure feels that the hawks got screwed.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Ugh so bad, so bad.

Team gets much worse losing Hammer and Toews and Seabrook are still here... Changes are coming to the Blackhawks....bad changes

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Oy.... I can't process this right now. But we just moved the second best contract on the team after Keith's, so immediate reaction is sickening.

 

[Kurtosis]

Pretty rough week for the Hawks.

 

[Teemu]

Murphy has FIVE MORE YEARS at that contract

 

[Fortyfives]

Well my favourite player traded away. Just great.

 

[ColdSteel2]

I like Murphy a lot and he is on an excellent contract. Way to ****ing go, Stan! He knew things were bad and made a decisive move to get younger. Can't say enough about the balls it took to do this, great job.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Dauphin and Murphy. Seriously?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Connor Murphy has 3.85M cap hit for next 5 years

No cap savings with this move , No high quality asset , , What a joke

 

[Illinihockey]

Oy.... I can't process this right now. But we just moved the second best contract on the team after Keith's, so immediate reaction is sickening.

I assume it has to do with Hammer having 2 years left, Murphy having 5

 

[Sarava]

I think it was the right time to move Hammer. I can't for the life of me figure out why Arizona wants him though.

 

[BobbyJet]

Makes one wonder if Tippet's departure is related to this trade?

Murphy is quality.

 

[Enyaw]

the best d man for ______________

ugh

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Murphy is quality.

Murphy is not Hammer and this trade blows

Murphy at best is a #4
