The Blackhawks prospect team got the day off up in Michigan so they spent it out on water near West Grand Traverse Bay. Looks like it was a beautiful one!
**The Hawks signed former Avs d-man Jan Hejda to a professional tryout contract (SCH)
**The Hawks signed forward Daniel Paille to a PTO, too (SCH)
**Here's a look at a possible Hawks opening day lineup that's not too different from one I dropped on Twitter. These were before the Hejda and Paille deals, though, and it seems possible at least that the former makes the team.
