You cuoldn't pay me to ignore these posts!

If I was in the shoes of the coaches and gearnel manager. John Scott stays, he getting good amount of ice time for the one year deal, low amount of pay he is receiving; which benefits the Blackhawks. He is also a great enforcer when the Hawks needs him. Nick Boynton stays as he is a fourth liner. Nick Boynton is better than Jordan Hendry. Tomas Kopecky leaves the team as he is no help on the forward line. Makes room for cap space and a potential trade with another team. Jordan Hendry doesn't even play at all on the Blackhawks. Hendry only plays like 20 games per year on Hawks. This is a potential trade too. With Hendry, Kopecky gone and the trade you got from them send them to the AHL IceHogs and bring up Jeremy Morin Perminately
