So the Blackhawks signed forward Fernando Pisani – formerly of the Edmonton Oilers – to a one-year deal worth $500,000. You may remember Fernando from his performance in the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs, and star of that one commercial for Ulcerative Colitis. Pisani will play on one of the bottom two lines, and provides veteran depth on the Hawks’ roster.
I’m not a big fan of Bowman’s latest deal for a couple reasons. Pisani is injury-prone, and his addition to the team will keep a younger player from vying for a roster spot come fall. Jack Skille, Bryan Bickell, Jake Dowell and even Kyle Beach will each need to put their best foot forward at training camp.
