Has yet to make a significant move to improve the Blackhawks. So far, all he has done is trade players for picks and those deals look like an L so far. He settles for Teravainen and Bertuzzi at free agency. He doesn't take any chances and you can't get good without taking chances
Who was available in free agency that would make this significant difference?

You want a Bowman like trade where he trades for another Jones and f***s the team for years to come?

Jason Dickinson trade
Signing Vlasic long term
(too early to tell) signs Brossoit

Not sure what L deals (trades for picks) you're talking about - he's still on the clock with all draft picks he's responsible for. Getting Hall and Perry have backfired and so far Bertuzzi and TT haven't impressed. Brodie is unacceptable...

I don't care about missing on Hall, Perry or anybody that's here temporarily - this team desperately needs high draft picks this season and next imo. So far so good in that aspect.

Well this is what I talked about when I said anybody could tear it down. For the first time in this rebuild pressure ramps up when your coach can’t get the most out of his players, and the future of your franchise is on pace for 14 goals.

We’ll see what happens.

Why is KD still under 10% on "fire this dipshit into the sun"?

I think he'll learn and be fine eventually but I'm shocked that he's still as favored having proven that he can do nothing except say pretty words and burn Danny's money and sell things for picks.

If KD doesn't fire Richardson for his gross incompetence and misuse of Bedard, he can go too.
I'm willing to give him a pass on Bedard but I'm far more concerned about the last 17 months overall

I'm guessing KD has until the end of next season and one more coaching hire before he is truly on the hot seat.

I'm not entirely onboard the fire KD wagon, but I'm certainly at a point where I'm nervous about the rebuild.

I agree Danny-boy will give him 3 coaches.

I'm not against firing him at this point either, but he needs to have a few keys taken away. Hoping he gets more senior help in there.

This guy had Oliver Moore in his top 10 in 2023. Moore is currently 8th in scoring on the high flying Minnesota Gophers tied with uh (checks notes)….. Ryan Chesley?

Eh, I don’t think that’s that offensive of an error. Stolen from his elite prospects page….
