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...

Blackhawks Roster Breakdown: Niklas Hjalmarsson

Flickr Photo via BridgetDS 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. Hjalmarsson was one of the few players...

Trading Niklas Hjalmarsson Makes Sense For Blackhawks

Flickr Photo via BridgetDS 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. But Blackhawks fans have had their fears quelled a bit, with Chicago expected...

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. I stated earlier that I agree on the suspension because Hjalmarsson does deserve one, but after hearing about the ruling handed down...

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.  I thought it would only be one game, personally, but the NHL gave two games to  James Wisniewski  today for making a ******* gesture on the ice. I guess nearly killing someone — intent be damned...

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. What does that mean? It means three things and there are three options: 1. San Jose is going to feel either forced to pressured into...

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. More details...
