Here's @scottpowers.bsky.social with 12 thoughts on the Blackhawks post-deadline, including the captaincy, the blue line and beyond: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Wrote a short piece about Troy Murray, for those who never had the incredible good fortune of knowing him: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Alex Vlasic on Troy Murray: "He was such a good guy to all the young guys in here. He made everyone feel welcome and meant so much to this organization, to the fans, so many generations that he impacted. Absolutely devastated to hear the news."

Spencer Knight will not make the trip to Dallas. Blashill hopes hell be ready for Monday's home game. Drew Commesso and Nick Lardis will join the team in Dallas.

Troy Murray has died. Just devastating. No one brightened up a day at the rink like Troy. I'll miss his stories, his mischievous smile, his throwing of popcorn at us whenever his booth was behind us in the press box. Truly one of the all-time good guys. Peace and love to his family.

Find you some neighbors who not only throw a poker night for your birthday, but make you a "cake" out of freshly sliced prosciutto.

The Blackhawks had a busy trade deadline. @ByScottPowers grades them out well: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

NEW: Trade deadline winners and losers: (Hint: There were more losers than winners.) www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

This deadline has been so boring that my watch thinks I've been sleeping for the last 90 minutes. Seriously.

Nick Foligno was signed to be a transitional captain between Jonathan Toews and (presumably) Connor Bedard. He was everything the Blackhawks wanted him to be and more. Now they're returning the favor by letting him chase his first Cup.

That's another grown-up with real-life experience out of the room. The Blackhawks' youngsters learned a lot from them while they were here, though: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Blackhawks trade captain Nick Foligno to Minnesota, where he'll chase his first Stanley Cup alongside his brother, Marcus. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Trade grades for the Stanley/Schenn trade between Winnipeg and Buffalo. Corey Pronman and I don't exactly see eye-to-eye on this one: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Jason Dickinson wasn't just a good penalty killer. He was a guy the young Blackhawks could go to for advice on contract talks, on home-buying, on managing money. On losing actual grown-ups with real life experience and the effect it has on a young team: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Evgeni Malkin should get suspended for that.

One of my favorite bands (Our Lady Peace) is playing at one of my favorite venues (The Vic) tonight. I will not be there. 😭

The Blackhawks are used to saying goodbye to good teammates and good friends this time of year. They're also sick and tired of it. New story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Count Nick Foligno as one of the many people in the hockey world who thinks it's "stupid" to have games on deadline day: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Alex Vlasic gets his trade-deadline news from Instagram, so he said he's just been constantly refreshing. "It’s kind of scary. You don’t want to lose any of your good buddies, you don’t want to get traded yourself."

Jeff Blashill expects Wyatt Kaiser to play tomorrow.

Nick Foligno had no new updates on his situation at the trade deadline. Said he's had talks with Kyle Davidson but that he's committed to the Blackhawks for as long as he's here.

Oliver Moore is at 3C with Jason Dickinson gone. Nick Foligno is centering the fourth line.

It's been so long since I've been to a Blackhawks practice, this place has doubled in size and changed names.

Our NHL trade deadline live blog is off and running. It'll be updated continuously through tomorrow afternoon: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Grading the Blackhawks-Oilers trade: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach are Edmonton Oilers. Story on the trade from @scottpowers.bsky.social and me: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

The Jason Dickinson trade is now official: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

NEW: With @marklazerus.bsky.social, details and analysts of the Blackhawks-Oilers’ trade ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

TRADE GRADES: The Oilers get a very good defensive center in Jason Dickinson, and get out of a very bad contract in Andrew Mangiapane. But Stan Bowman paid a high price. Analysis: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

NEW: Blackhawks trade Jason Dickinson, Colton Dach to Edmonton for 2027 first-rounder (top-12 protected) and Andrew Mangiapane. Analysis and details from me and @ByScottPowers: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Dreaming of making fetch happen.

New POWERS & LAZ: @ByScottPowers and I open up the listener mailbag ahead of the deadline. And, hey, shouldn't the Blackhawks — who have everything St. Louis wants and more — be in on 26-year-old playmaker Robert Thomas? We discuss. www.patreon.com/posts/mailba...

TRADE GRADES: Dallas gets its right-shot defenseman in Tyler Myers, and gets him for a song. With Harman Dayal: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

My daughter was especially tired last night and decided to go to bed early. She slept 11.5 hours and I still had to wake her up for school. I've never been more jealous of another human being in my life.

That'll leave a mark. Had been one of the Blackhawks' better efforts of the season for most of the game.

Read the results of our Blackhawks player poll to learn about Nick "Back in my day" Foligno, Tyler "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Bertuzzi and Artyom "Everybody love everybody" Levshunov. www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

If people want to watch their podcasts rather than just listen to them, more power to them, even if I find them utterly baffling. But it should be a crime punishable by imprisonment to use visual aids or make visual references on a podcast.

Best chirper? Worst dressed? Most superstitious? The Blackhawks dish on — and dig at — each other in our player poll: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Just me, or has Drive to Survive gotten pretty boring in recent years?

New POWERS & LAZ: @scottpowers.bsky.social and I discuss Artyom Levshunov, Frank Nazar and the trade deadline before the Connor Murphy trade interrupts. www.patreon.com/posts/what-t...

One thing about Connor Murphy is that you know what you're going to get from him on a nightly basis: solid defensive play. And that's exactly what the Oilers could use more of. 🚨 trade grades with @marklazerus.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

NEW POWERS & LAZ: @marklazerus.bsky.social and I discuss what the Blackhawks could do at the trade deadline. The Connor Murphy trade was just breaking while we were recording. Listen here: www.patreon.com/posts/what-t...

TRADE GRADES: Stan Bowman does what Stan Bowman does, reacquiring a former player of his. But this time it... makes sense? Grades for both the Oilers and Blackhawks from @shaynagoldman.bsky.social and me: www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

A source confirms to @scottpowers.bsky.social the return from Edmonton for Connor Murphy. Updated story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

Connor Murphy was a good player. He was a great Chicagoan. Nobody did more work in the community, from delivering meals to hospitals during Covid to visiting hospitals and youth teams. Five-time King Clancy nominee for a reason. He'll be missed by reporters, teammates and a city he made his home.

Connor Murphy is off to Edmonton, a league source tells Chris Johnston. Our initial story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

On today's episode of @theathletic.com Hockey Show: – Pierre LeBrun on the latest deadline rumblings – Does Matthew Schaefer deserve some Hart love? – @downgoesbrown.bsky.social and @jessegranger.bsky.social debate Connor Hellebuyck's place in NHL history. Listen here: pod.fo/e/39b52d

The Blues are maybe THE team to watch heading into Friday's trade deadline. Here's the latest on what our Jeremy Rutherford is hearing in St. Louis: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...
