Thanks to a flurry of fantastic under the radar moves over the past couple weeks, the Blackhawks might now be able to afford having Antti Niemi back on their roster for the 2010-11 season.

According to sources in Minnesota, the Blackhawks will soon announce that they have agreed to an entry-level deal with defenseman Nick Leddy.

Leddy was one of the most impressive players at the prospect camp earlier this summer, and will reportedly begin the year in Rockford, leaving the University of Minnesota.

As July winds to a close, there is still a lot of good talent waiting for a phone call on the free agent market.

And there's a superstar wondering if he'll be allowed to play into his "Chelios Years."

For teams that are looking for that last missing piece, there might be a winner just waiting for a paycheck. For others, there might be some nice meat to fill out a roster.

Let's take a look around the NHL at the 10 best remaining free agents.

On Thursday, the US Hockey Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2010, and front and center is former Chicago Blackhawks superstar Jeremy Roenick .

The thought of celebrating Roenick's career got the wheels turning... so many memories, so many great highlights, such an ugly divorce.

What do you remember most about the Jeremy Roenick Era of the Chicago Blackhawks?

The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Thursday afternoon that they had dealt veteran forward Marty Reasoner, acquired from Atlanta in the deal that sent Brent Sopel, Ben Eager and Dustin Byfuglien to the Thrashers, to the Florida Panthers for center Jeff Taffe.

There has been a great deal of discussion all over the Internet about the salary cap issues facing the Chicago Blackhawks in the wake of their Stanley Cup victory.

On Tuesday, within hours of the press conference introducing their new $102 Million Dollar Man, the New Jersey Devils received word that the league had rejected the contract on grounds that the deal was trying to circumvent the salary cap.

The deal is now in a holding pattern, waiting for an arbiter to rule, with the team and player considering how much to fight the league’s opinion.

Until Monday night, the speculation surrounding the summer exodus at the United Center centered on Antti Niemi's shadow resting on the locker of Patrick Sharp .

Since the Chicago Blackhawks added the (bigger than expected) salary of Niklas Hjalmarsson to their bottom line on Monday, trade rumors have started to circle the organization once again. The central figure of many rumors is versatile forward Patrick Sharp , and the prospect of losing another fan favorite has many committed Indians concerned.

After watching a fun weekend of hockey during the Chicago Blackhawks ’ prospect camp, it’s easier to look at the talent the Hawks have in the pipeline and compare them against others in the organization.

Over the weekend, a number of things became clear.

Kyle Beach needs to grow up to play in the NHL.

He might need some time against better competition in Rockford before jumping to the Hawks.  Dominating juniors is different than playing against elite talent, much less professionals.
