Blackhawks Acquire TJ Brennan
In a minor league deal, the Blackhawks acquired defenseman TJ Brennan from Philadelphia for forward Nathan Noel.
This will be the second tour with the Blackhawks organization for Brennan, who was acquired in 2014 from the New York Islanders with Ville Pokka and Anders Nilsson for Nick Leddy and Kent Simpson. The Hawks traded him to the to Toronto Maple Leafs for Spencer Abbott in February of 2015.
He turns 31 on April 3 and has eight points in 28 games in the AHL this season.
Noel, 22, was originally a fourth round pick (#113) in the 2016 NHL Draft by Chicago. He had six goals and 11 assists in 39 games with Rockford this season.
less than a nothing deal.
TJ Brennan and Nathan Noel might not see it as “nothing.”
Can I get a hot apple pie with that?
22 year old 4th round draft pick traded for a 31 year old? I get that some guys just don’t make the NHL, but what’s the objective with this move?
Yea baby!
We couldn’t even get them to throw in a bag of pucks and a water bottle?
Have they given up on Gilbert already.
Another move that proves bowman doesn’t get it. A 22 year old might put it together in three or for years. A 31 year old will be out of hockey. Rocky please please please follow your instincts and cut loose bowman
They want a reasonably decent team and a good culture in Rockford guys, and they traded away Gus so one extra Rockford D man will be up the rest of the year. Therefore, they brought back a known entity to help the culture on and off the ice. Dont get all worked up about this move.
Stan..please leave my Blackhawks. Your plan of recruiting a zillion defenseman has failed miserably. You cannot judge talent. Thank your old man..take your money and go away. Rocky ..seriously fire Bowman and see if one of the Hunter brothers from the London Knights would do the job.
