Respect the Dagger, Spellacy’s Strong Showcase, College UFAs, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Happy MLB Trade Deadline Day! The NHL Trade Deadline is always a busy day for me, but the NHL’s version is nowhere close to the crazy MLB produces. Which I’m okay with as someone who covers the Blackhawks. I can sit back today and be a fan of the crazy moves that are going on all over baseball and hope the Cubs make the right trades to put them in position to win big in October — without having to write about it.

Big shoutout to Brett for his ongoing Blogothon. It’s a tradition unlike any other and, most importantly, makes a huge impact for some special kids.

    Canada put together a single roster to face Finland yesterday as well. Blackhawks prospect Sacha Boisvert was back on the left wing on the third line. Marek Vanacker wasn’t in the lineup. It was not a good game for Canada, who got thumped 6-3. After rolling with under-manned split squads in the first four games (two each for “White” and “Blue”), the USA put what appeared to be pretty close to their “A” group on the ice against Sweden at the World Junior Summer Showcase on Wednesday. Blackhawks prospect AJ Spellacy was at center on a big fourth line that had Will Horcoff on his left and Shane Vansaghi on his right. The USA lost 6-3. Spellacy didn’t impact the score sheet in the loss, but he continues to draw eyeballs for his play. Here’s what Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff wrote about his performance on Wednesday:

    Spellacy won’t wow you with his offense, but you’ll always love his work ethic. He shoved anyone who got near him, won a ton of battles and created havoc around the net. I could see Spellacy fitting in as a perfect fourth-liner for USA – he’s built like a tank, and you need guys like that to get aggressive and make noise. It’s been a good week for Spellacy overall.

    — Daily Faceoff (@DailyFaceoff) July 30, 2025 Good list here from PuckPedia of the former college players who will become UFAs on August 15, a list that includes soon-to-be former Blackhawks prospect Dominic James. Keep in mind the Blackhawks signed Cole Guttman this way back in 2022. One name that’s somewhat intriguing to me — not because he shares it with a superstar — is former Kings second-round pick (No. 51 overall in 2022) Jack Hughes. He played with Ryan Greene at Boston University. Not a big player (6-0, 170) but plays the game the way the Blackhawks like. He also played with Frank Nazar with the US Development Program team in 2020-21.

    — PuckPedia (@PuckPedia) July 24, 2025 This is a fun question and we’re obviously biased… but I’ll ask the most important question: has an opposing goaltender every complained about any of the other songs on this list? Because Roberto Luongo had some thoughts about “Chelsea Dagger” back in the day when he was in town.

    — BarDown (@BarDown) July 30, 2025 If they played his employer’s goal song at Da Beauty League, Sam Rinzel would have asked the DJ for “Chelsea Dagger” twice last night. Oliver Moore joined Wyatt Kaiser in the other game last night as well.

    — Da Beauty League (@DaBeautyLeague) July 30, 2025 We ultimately did not get arbitration drama from the Winnipeg Jets and defenseman Dylan Samberg. He signed a three-year deal with a $5.75M cap hit before heading to his hearing on Wednesday. A big media deal for the NHL was announced on Wednesday. The league signed a multi-year streaming deal with DAZN to broadcast games all over the globe (outside the US and Canada). Good for business — great for the game.
