AuroraBorealis
Back-to-back hater
They should be taking on bad contracts like Granlund in exchange for assets if they wanna suck, not nuking their cap space on free agents like this.They're not paying them to be good skaters. They're paying them to be good team mates.
Chicago are being deliberately bad again. They'll be better in that they'll have Bedard on ice and a good unit around him, but other than that, they don't want to be good. They don't have enough prospects to be done picking high and often.
So the rest of the team is going to be great locker room guys, tough guys, hard to play against guys so at least it's not embarrassing, mixed in with a bunch of young kids with things to prove who might give the Blackhawks a few more hits or deadline sales.
Their primary goal should be asset accumulation right now, not locker room presences lol.
More of this.
