Sadly, I think this is true. Bowman really need to pick up Runblad a defenseman of which he to know Q would never play.

I didn't get the timing of the Rundblad pickup. I find it difficult to believe that trade wouldn't still be there in June.

The 23 man roster limit is only active until the Trade Deadline. After that, it's just a cap limit.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Regin have a one way deal. Basically invalidating the waiving him idea.
Doing quick math waiving Regin with about 7 games left would do it would it not? He is a UFA and no great loss if he's picked up. TT could play 4 or 5 games in Rockford in the meantime.

And the Hawks can only take an annual salary of $50k. Since no one actually fits that scenario, they have to waive someone, if the want TT to play in the regular season.

I retract my statement. Also, I did think everyone was like zomg 23 man limit at first.

2/2 The answer is, according to our cap estimates, they can't, not without someone joining Nikolai Khabibulin on LTIR or a demotion.

Rundblad trade made no sense then and makes no sense now
Throwing away a perfectly good 2nd round pick was brutal enough ,, Blocking our best prospect from NHL experience just makes it even more brutal

Good, cuz I was ready to clue you in on how off base it all was
EDIT: Unless this was just about the Regin thing, because then I may still have work to do.
Isn't he difference between TT and Regin's salary about 50,000 over about 7 games???? Wouldn't that work??

Nah, pretty much everything.
I thought people were talking about roster limits so I wanted to come in and be smarty pants.

But last year Granlund did not do just fine. He looked slow and weak and needed that one summer to bulk up. Not sure though how good comparison is this in the first place because TT is a lot better skater, so maybe he can avoid the physical play more.
Jokerit was above .500. That's far from "one of the worst teams". Or actually they were one of the eight worst teams in a 14 team league in the regular season. That's like saying NY Rangers are one of the worst teams in the NHL.
Yeah, but when it does it's nothing short of epic. I'll just say "Teukka".
There has been one player in the history of Finnish hockey who's been able to produce at NHL level before turning 20: Aleksander Barkov. Jari Kurri, Teemu Selänne, Teppo Numminen, Jere Lehtinen, Saku Koivu or Olli Jokinen didn't do it.

Even if the Hawks didn't acquire Rundblad, we still wouldn't be able to fit TT under the cap. Rundblad only makes 775k, TT makes 925k.
The only option that would work in bringing TT up would be sending Brookbank down. and with Roz hurt they will not do that for sure. If Roz gets healthy and TT (in AHL) and Runbland play well maybe you do it and more then likely lose Brookbank. The other option is only bringing him up for the playoffs which they can do without waving anyone. Bowman should have sent Kostka or Brookbank down instead of Stanton and 2 weeks ago he should not have traded for Runbland till the summer (I assume they had another offer and the hawks had to pull the trigger). Seems like he has made mutiple mistakes on the 8th D man this year.
Either way get him to Rockford and get him used to the Rink size and see how he does. If he is only doing OK it does not matter. Rockford plays in CHI fri and at home SAT then plays the following FRI,SAT,SUN, Any chance he gets in tomorrow and plays in Rosemont of FRI? If he did that the hawks would have 6 games left and they would have 3/31-4/2 MON,TUES,WED off to practice. playing on THURS 4/3.

The accountability era?
Rather then try and guess, I'm going to assume that Hawks management have looked at a multitude of possibilities if TT is to get a look before the PO's... and that a "what if/then" plan is in place, depending on how TT plays in RFD among other contingencies, and with a healthy line-up or otherwise. At least they had better not be winging it.
