There have been rumours about Anaheim Ducks defenseman, Olen Zellweger becoming available. Here’s why the Blackhawks could use him.

“toronto ran him out of town” meanwhile he was house hunting in vegas before he even became a free agent and vegas had to trade a player to avoid tampering charges
@NoMorles@TheHockeyWriter Yea I don’t necessarily disagree with that but in my opinion having elite - very good puck movers is essential for contenders.
We still don’t rlly know what Arty will be and adding Zellweger gives you a guy with upside at a relatively low cost.
They do need more bite though.
@SeanDeCoursey15 There is space on the left side if they let Grzelcyk walk. I’ve gone back and forth on that because I think having a vet back there is important, but it would provide an opening.
I like Zellweger’s upside and I’d like them to start using picks in deals for real NHL players.

@BrianLindones1 I mean they won’t have to. It’s public knowledge Zellweger isn’t exactly ecstatic with the situation and he’s an RFA.
I get Verbeek has leverage because he has his rights, but the whole league knows what’s happening between the org and the player.
@NoMorles@TheHockeyWriter We just watched Lane Hutson thrive this year and he’s 5’9. Not saying he’s Hutson but size doesn’t always matter.
If you build a big blue line around him he can still be extremely effective.
@BrianLindones1 Forcing a 22 year old RFA to sign a contract, then not play him or force him to sit out the year isn’t a good situation for anyone involved.
If you don’t match the offer sheet you can use that asset in a different trade.
New for @TheHockeyWriter:
There’s been a lot of things swirling around about the #Blackhawks being linked to Jason Robertson. However, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up quite yet.

@JeffVeillette It’s even worse when you consider Pelley was pretty in emphatic that both Mats and Chayka not being in the game recently wasn’t going to be a problem
Elliotte Friedman reported today on 32 thoughts that the Leafs and Habs submitted a Matthew Knies trade one minute late.
The package would’ve been something like two first round picks and Zharovsky.

I feel like Cowan thinks he has to be a game breaker with the Marlies since he played this season with the Leafs. He’s trying to do too much and he’s been brutal tonight.

The league recently warned the #Blackhawks about "shopping" Ilya Mikheyev before the start of the free agency period.
That & more in the latest News & Rumors @TheHockeyWriter#THW

Getting real hard to keep putting this whole situation on Leafs fans "not letting things go" when every media member, player, and executive in the league won't shut up about it/them
Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has made a mess of the Ilya Mikheyev situation. Here’s a timeline of it and where he went wrong.

@LarryDavid26 I have a hard time believing there was nothing that valuable on the table for him when you look at the prices for everyone last deadline.
It’s also his job to get a deal done with Mikheyev so it’s not on Mikheyev if he decides to walk. Davidson holds some responsibility.
