Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman is rumored to be receiving an extension. (Via @FriedgeHNIC). Stan has two seasons left on his current contract.

Crawford is terrible. To everyone outside of the Hawks fan base, he is obviously terrible. This is a fact not an opinion, 3.12 GAA in 39 games is bad. Bad means not good. Raanta was better, healthy Darling is better. Good Crawford is long gone yet he is still there. The only good move this dude has made in 3 years is getting Debrincat. That’s it. You can say all you want but if you aren’t making the playoffs, you aren’t a good team, and you aren’t a good if you’re GM is making boner moves. Hate me all you want but to the rest of the hockey world this dude is terrible for your franchise, and the division is cheering for an extension. Reference this conversation when you watch the Hawks miss the playoffs again and are at the bottom of the division if not the league. And no way has the victory faded even a little bit, I’m just here to show that when you don’t drink the Kool Aid, things look a little more realistic. I would be willing to bet money that the Hawks don’t make the playoffs next year with that great core of players.
