One of the more understated things that became clear to this corner through the days leading up to and the first day of free agency was that Stan Bowman gets it.

It might be years before we know whether the Chicago Blackhawks made a horrific mistake by firing Dale Tallon last summer. He’s a great guy and he made some very good moves in building the Blackhawks roster, but let’s face it, Chicago accelerated the building program by getting star players in two successive drafts at No. 1 and No. 3. And they only did that because they were lucky enough and bad enough to be in that position.

Blackhawks fans can, however, take comfort in the fact the team’s ownership made a terrific choice in Bowman, who has earned his stripes as a GM with his handling of the Blackhawks as they waded through their salary cap problems.
