The Blackhawks agreed to terms with Rob Flick on a three-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville feels like it will ultimately be his decision when deciding who replaces the recently fired Mike Haviland on the team's bench.
Whether that's truly the case remains to be seen. But Quenneville was asked what he's looking for in an assistant coach going forward.
In a surprise decision, the Blackhawks fired assistant coach Mike Haviland on Tuesday.
It didn't take long for Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman to replace assistant GM Marc Bergevin, who left the team last week to run the Montreal Canadiens.
As expected, the move came from within.
Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres and the National Hockey League Players' Association will apparently appeal his 25-game suspension for his shoulder-to-head hit on Blackhawks star Marian Hossa in Game 3 of their first-round series.
The last time fans got to see Blackhawks star winger Marian Hossa this season, he was get carried off the United Center ice on a stretcher.
It was a scary scene that took place on April 17 during Game 3 of the Hawks' first-round series against the Phoenix Coyotes, which they lost in six games. And, it was an illegal shoulder-to-head hit from forward Raffi Torres that caused it.
Hossa didn't play the rest of the series with a severe concussion, but there is good news. He's doing better now.
For the second summer in a row, the Blackhawks have an opening behind general manager Stan Bowman. Assistant general manager Marc Bergevin officially left the Hawks to run the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
Here are some of the highlights of Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman's press conference Wednesday during clean-out day at the United Center:
