There has been chatter that Werenski might ponder moving elsewhere as his While notable American players like Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk (and possibly Dylan Larkin) have been on the move recently, many wonder if another high-end U.S.-born player might be the next to be traded. However, his boss isn’t showing his cards. When speaking to the media on Thursday, Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell didn’t give much of an update on what the team’s future plans are with defenseman Zach Werenski. “Two years left [on his contract],” Waddell said. “But just want to get a good sense of where he’s at, and we’ll see how that goes and take it from there.” Waddell mentioned that he does plan to chat with Werenski soon to discuss the path the two sides should take moving forward, but notes that he doesn’t have a particular agenda. “I think for right now, there are matters that should stay internal. My plan is to meet with him in the near future. There is no definitive

LISTA: ALLA svenskar som gått i förstarundan -
Förra året valdes tre svenskar i förstarundan. Anton Frondell gick som trea till Chicago Blackhawks, Victor Eklund som nummer 16 till New York Islanders och Sascha Boumedienne valdes som spelare nummer 28 av Winnipeg Jets. Det gör att vi totalt har 96 valda svenskar i förstarundan genom åren, och har goda chanser att nå tresiffrigt i år. Fyra till fem svenskar tippas nämligen gå i förstarundan i år. Totalt har två svenskar gått som nummer ett, åtta stycken har gått topp-tre, 14 har gått topp-fem och 31 stycken har ropats upp bland de tio första. 16 av dem valdes under ett otroligt framgångsrik 2010-tal för svensk hockey.

Contrary to what it may have felt like while the overwhelming majority of the Blackhawks fan base was crashing out from Tuesday night’s news — this author among them — there is a world where all of this works, where the Bowen Byram trade is not viewed through lenses so tinted with disdain as it is right now. The problem is that it takes an incredible amount of squinting to get to that perspective. Of course it can work! Just about every sports trade can work, in theory. Byram’s arrival makes him the veteran presence on Chicago’s blue line: while he’s just eight days younger than the next candidate — Alex Vlasic — Byram’s appeared in 68 more regular season games and 40 more postseason games while averaging over 20 minutes a night in both categories, an amount of ice time that typically isn’t awarded to subpar defensemen.
