Another surprise. 25-year-old centre who scored 14 goals and 27 points in 55 games as a rookie.

Flames should make inquiries. Good numbers, only 24 years old... unless his cintract demand is outrageous he looks like a solid pickup.

Seems like a guy that would be a good fit for Seattle. They don't have much offense

Yeah it is definitely due to arb rights.

He has a strong case in arbitration. Problem for the Blackhawks is that the award will come in under the walkaway threshold.

So whatever the arbitrator gives as an award, the Blackhawks would be stuck with. Which could cause potential cap issues.

If the Blackhawks organization doesn't want him, you know he must be a quality person

Good thing Kenny Holland temporarily alleviated the existing cap issues in Chicago last week then.

He apparently wants too much money, as his stats were padded playing with Kane, with both Toews and Dach out.

He was likely slotted for 3rd line duty this year, so Chicago didn't want to pay him based on stats which are sure to decrease.

Buyer beware. We wouldn't be getting a 40 point 3rd line centre.

We don't really have a need for left shooting 0.5 pt/game offensive players. Pretty saturated ATM

True, like usual we should pass on 0.5 rookies with high potential upside for 0.5 old vets likely to regress instead.

Maybe he rebuffed the video coach and that didn't sit well with Blackhawk management.

Honestly I would move him to the top of my list on Wednesday.

The guy is 25, was a rookie, and both his counting and underlying metrics were great.

You don't usually get a shot at centers that had a rookie season like he had for free.
