Blackhawks Season Preview: Niklas Hjalmarsson
Niklas Hjalmarsson is one of the more intriguing cases on the Blackhawks’ roster heading into the 2011-12 season. In fact, many didn’t even think Hjalmarsson would be on the roster at this point in the summer.
Though the Blackhawks weren’t in the kind of financial straits that they were in in the summer of 2010, there was still a bit of shedding that needed to be...

Now that it’s the end of July, I’m sure that there’s more than a few people surprised that Niklas Hjalmarsson is still a Chicago Blackhawk. The subject of trade rumors going back to last season, Hjalmarsson’s future in Chicago has been a question ever since he was retained in the summer of 2010.

It’s safe to say Stan Bowman and Blackhawk fans alike are resting at least a little easier this summer. After last year’s salary dump bonanza, which saw multiple talents and fan favorites part ways with Chicago, many probably feel that no one on the roster is safe.

Hjalmarsson Suspension Is Nothing More Than A Joke
Earlier today it was announced that Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson would be suspended for 2 games following a hit on Buffalo Sabres Jason Pominville that gave him both a concussion and a cut above his eye that needed 7-8 stitches.

NHL lays the Hammer: Hjalmarsson suspended 2 games for hit
You got knocked the fug out! (Getty Images)
As suspected, Niklas Hjalmarsson has been suspended for two games for his bone-crushing hit on Jason Pominville, according to TSN.

Hjalmarsson Re-Signs with Hawks – More News and Notes
Niklas Hjalmarsson is back with the Blackhawks after they decided to match the offer sheet he signed with San Jose. His signing means that there are not necessarily any top 4 defensemen left on the FA market who seem to be of much interest to San Jose.

Sharks ink Hjalmarsson to offer sheet
TSN.com is reporting Niklas Hjalmarsson signed a 4-year, $14 million offer sheet from the San Jose Sharks. I’m not sure about you, but a $3 million-plus offer is not what I expected — and I doubt the Blackhawks expected it, either.
The Blackhawks have seven days to match the offer sheet. With Antti Niemi awaiting a contract, this may be difficult to swing.
