Chicago Blackhawks Send 5 Prospects to Rockford
On Monday morning, the Blackhawks assigned forwards Jimmy Hayes, Marcus Kruger, Peter LeBlanc and Brandon Pirri, and defenseman Dylan Olsen to Rockford.
Chicago now has 27 players, including injured Philippe Paradis and Jeremy Morin, on their NHL roster. The deadline for a final roster of 23 is Wednesday at 2 PM CT.
Interesting both Pirri and Kruger get sent down. I’ll interpret that as Bolland is 100% ready to go. And it must mean that 1 of Smith or Sharp is ready to go for opening night (unless of course they plan on dressing Scott as a forward…shoot me now).
Shocked to see Pirri and Olsen sent down. Olsen seemed to have more jump tha Monty Pylon
