BlackhawksOpinion

Chicago Paid Patrick Kane to Come Home, Not to Win

Kane made $3 million last season and just got $8 million a year at 37. New Jersey paid a younger, higher-scoring winger $4.75 million eight days earlier. Chicago was the only bidder that was never buying a hockey player.

BlackhawksOpinion

Bedard Didn't Take the Max. That's the Whole Story.

The $75 million headline hides the real move. Bedard took five years instead of eight, and on a climbing cap that turns his $15M hit into a shrinking share and a second swing at the market at 26.

BlackhawksOpinion

Connor Bedard's $17M Ask Isn't Greed, It's Math

Bedard's camp wants Kaprizov money. Chicago's offering Byram money to its franchise center. One of those numbers is out of step with where the market actually moved this summer.
