Quoting: JOHNNI36OY
based off what I saw when I looked up the Rockford Icehogs, they could definitely use a bit of a boost too LOL I'd even argue the Marlies players in that trade I made could very well slot into the 4th line and 3rd pairing over the current players the Blackhawks have there on top of just Mrazek backing up Lankinen if they don't get another goalie outside of this potential trade
Well Soderblom and Lankinen will get the goalie spots before Mrazek does; Mrazek has no value to the Hawks and because of his multi-year high cap hit for a backup goalie negative value to the Hawks so it will be a price to pay to move him to the Hawks.
Dahlstrom was a blackhawk and we dumped him as we have much better options at LHD then him. Beaudin, Vlassic, Caleb Jones, Stillman, Kalynuk, Kaiser, etc. all left handers. He wouldn't even get a spot on the AHL team as he doesn't fit the rebuild due to age.
Is Menell going to beat out Regula or Mitchell for a 3rd line role? Doubt it but he at least makes the AHL team. Biega even less so and he's 33 years old but maybe an AHL player! LOL Suomela turns 28 years old in a week has never found success in the NHL or even consistency in the AHL.
Basically it's Flowers for a 1st and Mrazek and a bunch of potential AHL players that some don't even fit a rebuild like I said originally. Hawks decline
