All Quiet On The Chicago Front

from the Chicago Tribune,

Despite rumors on the Internet and in publications, Tallon said he hadn’t “talked to anyone” recently about potential free agents or trades.
So no Pavel Kubina?
“Nope.”
Danny Markov?
“Nope.”
Tony Amonte?
“Nope.”
But Tallon hasn’t been idly spending his time on the golf course; he just returned from a week in Europe on a scouting trip.
“We’re going to see how training camp goes and see what we have,” Tallon said. “We never stop listening to any deal if it makes sense to improve our team. But it’s kind of quiet right now.”

Blackhawks Can See The Light

from Ray Slover at the Sporting News,

As Blackhawks GM, Tallon seems to have a solid plan for his team. And Wednesday’s signing of No. 1 overall pick Patrick Kane is the latest feel-good story to come out of the cavernous United Center.
Wow, a light at the end of the Blackhawks’ tunnel that isn’t attached to an elevated train.
There’s no guarantee Kane will make the team this year. He’s an 18-year-old kid, after all. There’s every reason for Blackhawks fans to hope he does.
Why? Because he will be surrounded by plenty of talent. Kane won’t have to be the bellwether player for a beleaguered team. He can grow with the nucleus and help it develop into something the Blackhawks haven’t been since Bill Wirtz was a philanthropist—a winner.

What Blackhawks Pick Akim Aliu Went Through

from Gare Joyce of ESPN the Magazine,

Akim Aliu is trying to figure out what those guys are saying about him. He doesn’t know their names, and he can’t make out exactly what it is they’re muttering about, but he can tell it’s not good.
Aliu, in a navy, pin-striped suit, is killing time in the basement of Toronto’s Park Plaza hotel, waiting for his next interview with an NHL team at the combine. He’s watching other prospects go through their physical testing, the tests he went through this morning. He sees scouts milling around, glancing at him, then turning and talking in low voices.

Promising Future For Blackhawks

from the Chicago Tribune,

“We’re getting quite deep at all positions,” Tallon said. “The challenges and fights for jobs is what makes a team successful. When people know there are other people in line for their jobs, they start to compete hard.
“We’re very, very excited about the future, and the foundation is being put together very solidly.”
Though they were merely scrimmages during a July prospects camp, Kane and Toews showed they may be ready to take their acts to the NHL. Each scored two goals and added four assists while creating scoring chances—both with their passing and shooting skills—nearly every shift.
