Just need them to scoop up Luypen and our entire WHL prospects pool will play in Seattle.
Huge return on that trade!
Dang, The Thunderbirds made a blockbuster trade for Nolan Allan last month. I may need to tune into some of their games. The two now join fellow Blackhawks prospect Kevin Korchinski.
I need to watch Seattle lol. Got a few of our prospects now
Must mean that his injury isn’t that bad which is great news!
Per Ben Pope, [The ugly-looking shoulder injury [Dach] suffered in World Juniors is not expected to require surgery and he is expected to return this season.](https://twitter.com/BenPopeCST/status/1611808182560604161)
Did the rebuild just get pushed back 2 years?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong here as I don’t follow these junior leagues, but trades like these where the other team gets multiple high picks and pieces means 2 things, right?
1) The 1 player going the other way is the real deal
2) Specifically here, the injury isn’t that bad
We’ve now had 2 players involved in this type of trade. Future is looking bright already!
I wonder if Colton will be called up to the Blackhawks this year or the IceHogs
Man seattle is stacking up, didnt the Jets also loaned them Brad Lambert
He’ll be better than kirby
