On the Parkins & Spiegel Show, Jay Zawaski of CHGO broke down the Blackhawks’ many additions in free agency. Was adding forward Teuvo Teravainen and winger Tyler Bertuzzi enough help for star Connor Bedard? When will the Blackhawks be competitive again? Also, Zawaski thinks fans are sleeping on the new Blackhawks goalie.

86 is very good on the quick one timer 10-15 feet from the net. I expect many assists for Bedard, and for Teuvo
No shot im putting kurashev down to the third to put anthansiou to the second line f that noise kurashev showed he can put points up AA belongs on third line hes too one dimensional
Nice analysis by Zawaski.
I'm happy for Seth Jones. He gets criticized so much but he was never supposed to be the #1 shut down defenseman. They had no other option but to make him that, so his offensive production plummeted. Sure, he made a lot of mistakes/bad giveaways/etc… but I have to give him the benefit of the doubt to some degree when he's playing 25+ minutes of ice time a game in a role that's not his specialty. Plus he was playing with a rookie defenseman for almost every game. I'm hoping this season he bounces back strong.
on track for long term success .
26 playoff cup conteneder
as a true contender they’re still quite a bit out. but i do think that 25-26/26-27 is a reasonable window for them to get a playoff spot
Hey hey, it's good ol' Jay!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they sneak into the playoffs this year if they stay mostly healthy. Probably getting smoked in 5 tho
Enough help for what? Make the playoffs? It's pretty difficult to have close to the worst team in the NHL in one season and the next season make the playoffs. Davidson certainly did what was needed though to be a better team. He added toughness. He added some players who will play hard on the puck along the boards and in the corners. He added some more scoring. But he needs to add more scoring help. HOWEVER……… if you are a Blackhawks fan, like I am, it should be a lot more exciting to watch them next season.
Kurashev should be on the top line imo
Appreciate the fact that Jay is willing to admit we can’t pay a superstar forward to come in Chicago yet wasn’t up in arms about the Blackhawks drafting Levshunov over Demidov.
Bertuzzi is gonna be so sick on this team. Way too often did I see the puck go in front of the net for NO ONE to be there for a redirect or a rebound goal, this guy is going to solve that issue so fast. Cannot wait.
Hawks are now one of the oldest teams in the NHL. Will be in the bottom 6 again. Draft was crap to. What young players, They will be in Rockford.
They did? Lolwut? I’ll have what he’s smoking. They’re still a long way away from the playoffs and what’s with the teuvo love? He was invisible aside from a couple plays when he was a hawk. I’m sick of this franchise taking back throwaways. Will he help? Sure, but he’s not much of an impact player. Never really was. We needed a neccas/guentzal signing along with Bertuzzi.
jay-zed!!
Enough help for what? There aren't going to be meaningful games played in February or March to sneak into a playoff spot. This team is only marginally better and will be lucky to score 200 goals.
If they were going to sign these bums I would rather they just load up other teams bad contracts for the next 2 years and accumulate more future picks. Then once we know if players like Nazar, Reichel, Moore, Korchinski, Del Masteo, etc are the real deal or they have to be cut loose…then sign some big names.
Turbo won’t be with bedard. He will be with aa and hall
Teuvo + Burtuzzi at 11mil over Stamkos at 8mil
Hall, Tuzzi, Turbo, Bedard?! If you woulda told me this 2yrs ago I would’ve mailed you a drug test 🤣
Who puts the C on their Sweater this year?
