Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Fan Reaction To Hartman Deal

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! Well, we survived the trade deadline with only one major fan favorite getting moved.

The Chicago Blackhawks moved Ryan Hartman who was a fan favorite by many more than even I expected by all of the comments I read after the trade went down on Monday.

After the dust had settled, and Tommy Wingels had been moved I asked on Twitter what your reaction was to the trades, and most of the comments were pretty similar. So here are some of those comments as fans reacted to the moves.

Hartman deal was cool. ALL those no trade contracts are now killing this team.

While I love Hartman and have been critical of Bowman the trades today were pretty good. Got a decent looking prospect, a 1st round pick, and turned a low quality veteran into another pick

Today's moves along with a quality tanking effort, and the Hawks could be looking at pick #1 and #28 ish. (Yes, they will get Dahlin) That would be a nice consolation to this wretched season.

Sad to see a talented/gritty player like Hartzy leave, but we made out well on the trade. Could've gotten a bit more for Wingels but it's alright, something tells me he'll be back next year ;)

A 1st Rounder for Hartman and now 9 picks in the draft, I am totally ok with this. I liked Hartman, but the cap crunch was going to pinch some of the RFA's, so I am glad they got a comparable pick for him (he was a 1st rounder, Pick 30).

Good deals.. sad to see Hartman go, but after learning more about the potential of the Power forward Victor, as well as the draft picks, I'd grade Bowman B+ for the haul, only thing I would've liked to have seen is the movement of an aging core player to improve cap space
