You can't be serious

I enjoy BWC's overreaction to everything...and his use of +/- stats as the defacto way of judging a player, shows me this will be a real good signing.

A player signed for $2 mil for 2 years barely deserves any type of reaction, especially seeing the guy has offensive mobility. I don't know what the hell he will look like here, but he isn't going to be any worse than the piles of shit we have laced up at 6/7 over the past 3 years.

Didn't think it was possible to make our team worse today, but it happened.

Powers reported 2mil AAV...that's a f***ing joke if true

Well it's not worse. It's just not better.

 

[AmericanDream]

Like I said, if he's used as a 7th, it's fine. He's what you want in a 7th defenseman. The problem begins with if he's used more than what he is

well that means Q will play him top pair

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

These signings (not Ward because there is logic behind that) make me just want to clean house.

FFS play the young kids.

Yep

Play Dahlstrom , Hillman on D and hold spot for kids up front to fight for

Don't bring in garbage like Manning and Kunitz

 

[Styles]

2.25 for Manning. Lol

 

[TLEH]

Omfg it is 2.25x2 HOLY SHIT. Stan Bowman is a fraud. This guy can not negotiate contracts to save his f***ing life.

 

[AmericanDream]

Powers reported 2mil AAV...that's a ****ing joke if true

why is it a joke?

what is your scouting report on him?

what else at $2mil can we add here?

 

[CallMeShaft]

Are these guys rocket scientists or something? Like did Bowman sign them in an attempt to build a time machine and go back to right before he re-signed Seabrook and tears apart that contract. And then he goes back to yesterday and doesn't sign any of these idiots.

Only way this shit makes any sense.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Try to defend this shit Stanley fanboys!

Try!

Should have fired his ass in April

 

[clydesdale line]

Yea I'm getting in the fire Stan point too. He and Q can gladly go.

 

[hawksrule]

Barf.

Literally any prospect

 

[Hawkaholic]

Only way it's defendable is if it's 2.25 total over 2 years.

 

[Bubba88]

100% Q signings.
If he fails again he gets fired and Bowman will say he got Q the guys he wanted to save his job for 1 coaching decision. Maybe even fire him mid season.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

At least the Kunitz deal is cheap.

 

[BK]

Unless Manning turns out to be a good D in our system I really hate this deal. We have a lot of D signed. Trade coming?

Q is going to over use these players but Bowman should have never signed them in the first place.

Honest question, there is no way that Rocky/John McD told Bowman to give the players he wants for a year to give him a chance to keep his job right or is Stan really lost his way as a GM?

He has this great draft then this shit? They are short deals but f***.

 

[Rick C137]

Yup powers confirmed that 2.25 is the AAV.

... the f***?

Stop with this nonsense

These are Bowman signings

Both are out door if Hawks suck this year and deservedly so

I definitely think that this is part of it.

Yes Q definitely wanted guys that make the team worse.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I would have just played kids. Don’t get it.

 

[BK]

Lol this is like Christmas in July for BWC.

100% Q

Q loves his bad defensive D's and it will be Q that puts Kunitz in the Top6 and PP over DeBrincat.

Bowman is going after Hughes and gives Q the guys he likes. Q will fail and Bowman is trying to save his job. That's pretty obvious and have seen it before will see it again.
