Hawks are going to miss Anisimov badly. Looks like Kampf is being slotted to center the third line. That's going to hurt.
Meanwhile Zack Smith is a fourth line winger.
Which position is more important and which one easier to fill?
And no, slotting Kampf in there is not "filling it". Too small a tool for too big a hole. (Like when gary tries to poke Jim C's hole with his tool)

Still hoping that somehow Dach emerges and is given a shot at #3 center. Saad-Kubalik is an interesting forward tandem, but they will need more playmaker than Kampf can provide. AA doesn't really fill that slot either. Shaw will probably wind up centering that third line, which is not his best use either.
That 4th line will not be easy to play against so long as they don't lead the league in stupid penalties. I'd prefer drawing stupid penalties.
Here's wishing Kubalik could play the left wing - would love to see him on the Toews-Kane line.
Not sure that Maatta alone can change the below par blue line - we'll see. Should they play Murphy on the left side, drop one or both of Koekkoek and Dahlstrom and dress Boqvist?

Anisimov was a tweener 2C/3C so it's definitelty a downgrade no matter how you put it.
Now that third line will be a leaking fissure with Kampf.

(Like when gary tries to poke Jim C's hole with his tool) Autocorrect turned "soft" into "small" when describing Gary's tool. Interesting

2 rounds of cuts today...
The Blackhawks assigned forwards Kris Versteeg and Tyler Sikura and defensemen Chad Krys and Jack Ramsey to the Rockford IceHogs on Friday. Ramsey, Sikura and Versteeg are all on AHL contracts.
The Blackhawks made their second roster cut of training camp Friday by assigning forwards Nathan Noel, Graham Knott, Dylan McLaughlin and Tim Soderlund and defenseman Jake Ryczek to the AHL.

Would have made more sense to flip AA at the TDL or next offseason. Hawks aren’t hurting for cap currently and Smith basically makes the same as AA with one less year of term.

Who would have thought this time last year that Crawford would be behind the bench and Quenneville on the ice for the Hawks.

It was a great line. I remember Anisimov lead the league in scoring for about a week.
