Blackhawks' right wing Patrick Kane won the Hart Trophy as league MVP and the left wing Artemi Panarin won the Calder Trophy as the top rookie playing on the same line last season.

Center Jonathan Toews Jersey and right wing Marian Hossa has been a great success along with the top line a number of times of the year.

But when the Hawks open the 2016-17 campaign against the Blues on Wednesday night at the United Center, it is likely that neither of these combinations are playing together.

Blackhawks considering NHL trial run for Alexandre Fortin

Alexandre Fortin Jersey

The Chicago Blackhawks Jerseys do not quite know what they have in 19 years, Alexandre Fortin yet, but might take some time early in the season to find out. Coach Joel Quenneville said on Thursday that the team is still considering giving Fortin trial of nine games to open the 2016-17 season.

Fortin has been a perspective break to Chicago from that perspective camp joined the team in July. The striker was undrafted in the last two years, but entry-level contract three years earned from the Hawks in September.

Now, after a strong preseason, there is even a possibility that Fortin could start next season on the roster of the Hawks. Under the rules of the NHL, any player who signs an ELC at 18 or 19 and 20 does not turn on 31 December of the year of its signature may appear in a maximum of nine games in the NHL / AHL without burning a year of his contract.

That means Fortin can play up to nine games with the Blackhawks to open the season and still has its "sliding" contract, which means that his contract expires after the 2019-20 season instead of the 2018-19 season. So the Hawks could potentially give an extended period Fortin hearing to open this season then decide whether to keep and burn a year of his ELC, or sent back to the QMJHL to develop and "slide" the contract. Jonathan toews jersey.

Fortin has already flown expectations at every stop in recent months, so maybe the Hawks are curious if he can do it again at the NHL level. It would be a remarkable career for a teenager who was undrafted last two years, but coach Q is seriously considering at least one hearing.

Which Blackhawks jersey should you get this season?

blackhawsk jersey

Buy jersey of your favorite player Chicago Blackhawks can be tricky business. Anyone who bought a Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw or Teuvo Teravainen jersey in the past two years knows that. You spent like $ 175 on the jersey of a current blue jacket, Hab or hurricane. It is probably not what you had in mind.

So with the 2016-17 season right around the corner, we might as well look at what Blackhawks jerseys are definitely worth buying, and you might want to avoid. Obviously this is subjective - if you really want a bikini Brandon Mashinter, do not let anyone crush your dreams - but I feel like someone needs to be there to remind everyone to probably wait a few months before Artemi Panarin buy that sweater.

In addition, a final side: none of these recommendations are for the Green "St." day jerseys Patrick. I prefer to see someone rocking a sweater Jordin Tootoo red and black than trying to understand why people continue to buy ugly green jerseys for a team that offers these fantastic primary excavations. We have good options.

It's like a 9-5 job for a month and a half, a lot of work, a lot of cycling. So for me, which was good because I had never been in this kind of shape before, "said Abbott, who added that he tries to incorporate some of that into his routine here." training camps here are difficult, but they are just different there. There is a lot of ice, more ice [abroad], so they really determine you. So my packaging can be a little better. "

Abbott much enjoyed his time in Sweden, he finally wanted to be back in the NHL. So when the Blackhawks was offered a one-year contract, he jumped on it. He had a good start this training camp, scoring some goals early scrimmages team.

It is a good organization. "

Abbott would probably have continued to play overseas, but he wanted another chance in the NHL. He is happy, he is once more coming in the Blackhawks organization.

Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Who Cares?


Chicago Blackhawks fans Good morning! Now that the World Cup Hockey Team USA had removed the question for me is who cares?

Hockey World Cup in full swing with the exception of Team USA who was removed from Tuesday night, and just like Patrick Kane and Team USA apparently disappeared before the start of the tournament.

I saw the PTI on Wednesday evening, and they had the same thought about the World Cup, I imagine like most people do, and that is, who cares preseason hockey skill are higher than we usually get those spots.



I really like the Olympic hockey and I'm still under the terms will speed and, therefore, pro which may be the next Winter Olympics in the order, but not in a tournament two years only happens once, or so, that's hard to get into something about it, especially the middle of September.
