Wyatt Kaiser stays unsigned in Chicago, they usually’ll have a crowded blue line soon
Bleacher Report: Frank Seravalli when asked about Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Wyatt Kaiser and why the restricted free agent stays unsigned.
“Man, really interesting query Windy City Hockey. One which, quite truthfully, August twenty sixth hadn’t really spent any time eager about or taking a look at.
However the interesting thing for the Chicago Blackhawks and looking out at their defense moving forward is, where’s everyone gonna fit? They’ve got so many young guys on that back end, Kaiser a part of it, and I believe Kaiser and Allen could possibly be your kind of perfect, ideal, prototypical, third pair moving forward.
But when you concentrate on a few of the other guys which might be in the combination there, (Ethan) del Mastro, and you then think in regards to the steps that were taken forward by this team and a few of the young guys that then got it to return to Rockford within the AHL playoffs and get a taste of some meaningful hockey as a professional.
NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild, and the Edmonton Oilers
There’s so many guys taking a step forward. I believe the Blackhawks are probably taking a look at nine to 10 legitimate, realistic NHL defenseman, and someone’s going to must be on the move. I’m not suggesting in any respect that it’s Kaiser, but just wondering how this all finally ends up figuring out, since it does change into a numbers game, and I ponder if that’s a part of it as well, when it comes to these contract talks and where it finally ends up going.”
Is there anything coming for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Bleacher Report: Frank Seravalli when asked what’s next for the Toronto Maple Leafs heading into training camp. Are there any more moves coming?
“I’m going to say, rounding out the roster. They’ve got an entire bunch of players it looks like. They’ve got 26 guys on a technique contracts this yr. Which will actually be the number.
But as mentioned within the last stream, I do think the Leafs remain in conversation and remain a possibility for Jack Roslovic. Brad Treliving is at all times on the hunt, and I believe they’re in a spot where they’re just trying to get well.
You realize, you’re taking Mitch Marner out, you make a bunch of various smaller adjustments. And I believe it’s going to be really interesting to see what the Leafs appear like to start out camp.

And I believe what this does might be ratchets up just a little little bit of pressure on Auston Matthews to return to the shape that he had as a near 70 goal scorer a couple of years ago. It looks like it’s been just a little while since we’ve had that after an up and down health yr, and clearly a disappointing season for him, from a private perspective.”
