Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VGK] Marc-Andre Fleury to Chicago for Mikael Hakkarainen

Thought it'd be worth bumping this thread given the Eichel trade that we all woke up to.

If Vegas doesn't cap dump Fleury then the Eichel trade doesn't happen. Still think they could've / should've gotten more for Flower but a healthy Eichel is not a bad return (eventually)

They added cap hit the next day, and were in a cap crunch already. Also they are 10M over the cap when he comes back.

Haven't been this excited for the Blackhawks season to start in years.

How excited are you now?

About the same as the Oilers during the playoffs. Lotta bragging going on on for a team who's done a whole lot of nothing since the 80s.

My mistake.

One could argue given the sequence of numbers being 1-10 that 1990 is the last year of the 80's. Which of course is a really important distinction to make.

Lol at an Ottawa fan chiming in about playoffs

One could argue it, but they’d still be wrong. There is no “8”in 1990.

Why they traded for Dadonov and his 5M x 2 years I'll never understand.
