Ryan Pace overpaid for Mike Glennon. Ryan Pace needlessly traded up for Mitch Trubisky instead of taking Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes. The Bears need a quarterback. How do you let Ryan Pace make that call?

A couple thoughts from my first time covering a Blackhawks game in years: - Brandon Hagel is a really nice player and one of the few from this team who’d fit on the Cup-era squads. - The Hagel-Toews-Kane line is promising but needs to stop trying to force a goal for Toews.
