Real quickly, as I tweeted a few minutes ago, the rumors are coming fast and furious this morning, and I suspect (and emphasize) there could be more conversations going on between the Blackhawks and other teams than those I’m reporting.
From the top:
WASHINGTON AND/OR TAMPA BAY
The Hawks had two pro scouts present for the game between these two teams last night, including Dir. of Pro Scouting Ryan Stewart. No players mentioned.
PHILADELPHIA
This could be a significant deal.
From Chicago: Artem Anisimov and Ryan Hartman for SOME COMBINATION, BUT LIKELY NOT ALL OF Val Fillipula, Michael Raffl and either Samuel Morin OR Travis Sanheim. The Hawks might also have to retain some of Anisimov’s salary. No idea whether AA has been asked to waive, but his NMC expires 7/1 anyway.
I’ll be checking in and posting as things break.
