Quenneville had one goal in nineteen NHL games last season with the Devils. The 23-year old also played 37 games with the Binghamton Devils of the AHL this season, registering 39 points (18G, 31A). Quenneville, who is a second cousin of former Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, is yet another former first round draft pick that Stan Bowman will attempt to turn into gold.

John Hayden never gained favor or found a legitimate position with the Blackhawks after coming out of Yale as their captain, in 2016-17.

    A salary dump?   Even tho Hayden wasn’t/isn’t making a lot, it frees up $500K (?) or so because Quennville will probably play in Rockford.

    I certainly hope Bowman has something more up his sleeve.  Adding Maata is NOT going to make a huge difference to this blueline.
