Moore in the Middle, Trade Rumors Picking Up, Toninato to Rockford, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

The Blackhawks host the Islanders tonight. The scoreboard wasn’t kind to the Blackhawks in their last game on Sunday night. And, as we inch closer to the end of the calendar year, the Blackhawks are near the bottom of the NHL standings.

But you know what we’ve got going for us? Prospects all over the globe putting up big numbers. And trade rumors picking up. And injuries all over the league making things intersting. Isn’t it… exciting?

    Good read here from Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff about Anton Frondell before Sweden played on Monday at the World Juniors. Frondell scored twice in a blowout win over Germany.

    Anton Frondell had a monster effort against Slovakia to kick off the tournament.He was a bit quieter against Switzerland. But if he can find that high gear once again, everyone else is going to be in trouble.My story on the #Blackhawks prospect: t.co/VdaWe9CsaQ

    — Steven Ellis (@SEllisHockey) December 29, 2025 David Pagnotta at The Fourth Period threw together a round-up of insider buzz as trades start to pick up around the league after the holiday roster freeze. Here’s what he wrote about the Blackhawks:

    The Chicago Blackhawks may be another interesting club to keep tabs on, as they have six pending UFAs on the roster, all of whom will garner interest – Nick Foligno, Jason Dickinson, Sam Lafferty, Connor Murphy, Matt Grzelcyk and Ilya Mikheyev. It goes to show you how valuable Connor Bedard is to this club (he returned to practice this morning).

    There continues to be smoke around the Florida Panthers potentially having interest in Blackhawks defenseman Murphy. They don’t have a stud goalie and a first-round pick to send the Hawks for a right-handed defenseman this year, unfortunately. And they probably won’t have enough cap space to accommodate all of Murphy’s contract. But there continues to be buzz around this potential connection. The Blackhawks assigned forward Dominic Toninato to Rockford on Monday. Landon Slaggert has played well in both games since he was recalled and should stay in the lineup (see my comments earlier about development being the point).

    — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) December 29, 2025 Hockey Canada will announce their Olympic roster at 10:30 AM CT tomorrow. We’ll see if Bedard is on the list in spite of his injury costing him a few weeks.

    — TSN Hockey (@TSNHockey) December 29, 2025 The Utah Mammoth placed goaltender Karel Vejmelka on IR (upper-body) retroactive to Dec. 23 and recalled Matt Villalta in his place. The St. Louis Blues will be without Pius Suter for four weeks because of an ankle injury. The Columbus Blue Jackets finally traded disgruntled forward Yegor Chinakhov to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward Danton Heinen, a second-round pick in 2026 and a third-round pick in 2027. The Carolina Hurricanes announced Pyotr Kochetkov is likely done for the rest of the season. Carolina head coach Rod Brind’Amour said on the television broadcast that it was a hip issue that’s been a problem for Kochetkov. Can I interest you in a gently used Laurent Brossoit?

    Oh no.Rod Brind'Amour shares pre-game that Pyotr Kochetkov is having surgery to fix the lower-body injury he's been dealing with this season and is "probably out for the year." pic.twitter.com/Pd0pqG45hz
