The agony of being a Blackhawk fan with Stan Bowman as GM

There is no planet in this or any galaxy in the known universe in which Seth Jones is worth Adam Boqvist and an eight-year contract totalling $77 million, let alone the draft choices my Blackhawks gave to Columbus in Stan Bowman’s latest genius-level trade. It’s kind of hard to rebuild without draft choices. This year alone, the Seth Jones trade cost us not only Boqvist, but three players more highly rated in the draft than the guy we took with the last pick in this year’s first round. And we will continue to hemorrhage future talent in drafts yet to come for a guy who may or may not be able to return to the level of play he showed himself capable of before last year.

Please, Rocky Wirtz. Fire Bowman now, before he ruins the team for a generation. I really want at least one more Stanley Cup before I die, and preferably more than one. We’re just not going to get there with this guy as GM.
