Yesterday, I talked about that NHL trade market being a bit quiet for the Chicago Blackhawks. In the post, I talked about how even though the market seemed thin, I’d like some team to do something, anything, so that we could talk about it. What I didn’t expect was that the “some team” would be Chicago themselves.
• I guess I have to be a bit more selective when putting those kinds of thoughts and hopes and dreams into the hockey universe, because the Hockey Gods have a sense of humor to them.
• The something needed up being the Blackhawks trading Brad Morrison to the Florida Panthers in exchange for former Blackhawk Vinnie Hinostroza. A trademark Stan Bowman former Blackhawks reacquisition trade.

AP Photos Within a matter of days, two of the Blackhawks’ important long-term assets have been knocked out of competition. But to equate wing Alex Nylander, who had knee surgery Monday, with center Kirby Dach, who suffered a wrist injury Wednesday, would be inaccurate. Nylander won’t be a franchise centerpiece, even if his hotly debated potential eventually pans out. Dach, conversely, arguably already is a franchise centerpiece. So while the Hawks surely won’t be happy to begin the season Jan. 13 without either of them, it’s Dach’s injury even though it likely will have a significantly shorter recovery time than Nylander’s surgery that is of greater concern.
