Hey, short-term improvement. I can dig it.

 

[Wally1112pac]

Hate this. I thought we were done tanking?

Brodie is toast.

First bad signing of the off season.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Toast is improvement over last year's defense.

Hey, short-term improvement. I can dig it.

Yeah it’s not, he fell off a cliff in Toronto last year. But he also had some personal struggles so maybe he bounces back.

I’m wondering if there’s a move coming for either Jones or Murphy though. They both seemed pretty fed up with the team last year. If not we’ve basically blocked all the kids next year.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I get that, but that's kind of my point. Name an NHL defenseman, the Hawks probably just improved adding them.

 

[clydesdale line]

Good depth defenseman. Maybe this means Hawks are going to have Korchinski in Rockford playing top pair minutes PP/PK and developing that aspect of his game.

Jay seems to agree with me.

Ottawa is looking for veterans. Murphy, Reichel and Toronto’s first for Pinto.

I didn't think Brodie would have gotten another deal with how bad he played last season.

Would be less painful if it was only 1 year.

2 years at 3.75 is nuts.

If they wanted a 7th D they could have just signed one for a mil for 1 season.

 

[emeyezee]

I don’t like that it’s 2 years but whatever

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He looked pretty bad with Leafs this past year

Not getting strategy here unless a trade is coming

what's the story here? KK in Rockford 'til the deadline? does Murph have any value? would Ottawa even contemplate that?

 

[ndgt10]

Davidson with another terrible signing

Davidson with another terrible signing

"another"?

 

[Kevin Musto]

KORCHINSKI TO ROCKFORD LET'S f***ING GOOOOOOOOOO

 

[WarLax]

I don't know anything about the guy, but browsing his stats, he played 78 games @ 21minutes/night for Toronto last year, was a +17, and chipped in 26 points @ age 33.

Seems solid, if unspectacular.

 

[hawksrule]

Barely watched him, but the way he was spoken of I’d have thought 1 x $2.

 

[ClydeLee]

Are you asking TJ Brodie to have to play 21 minutes a night on a playoff wanna be contender? No, on that case he should be fine and doesn't he prefer to play RD?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Korchinski gains nothing playing in Rockford and neither does Kaiser at this point

This signing unless a trade is coming denies Kaiser, EDM and Allan any chance of being on NHL roster

100% disagree for Korchinski. He struggled in nhl and I think a full year with softer opponents will allow him to slow things down, gain his confidence and apply his offensive skills he had in the W without the pressure

He’s played righty dmen for a good amount of time

 

[vandymeer13]

Shit signing, unless were trading Murphy or Jones. But why 2 years?

 

[Pez68]

Who is the alternative to play third pair RD? It's really not a big deal. Lol

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Let’s just wait and see who earns a spot in training camp. What if Korch pulls a Vlasic and just comes back massively improved?

 

[Teemu]

This has "whipping boy" written all over it
