We’ve Got A Gorilla Salad For Sale, Won’t You Buy Him? Take Him Home And Try Him?
Well, Twitter started percolating a few hours ago, and now it’s official. Dan Carcillo — “Car Bomb” to some and “Gorilla Salad” to increasingly more — has been traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional pick in 2015. I’m kind of amazed that you can get a draft pick for Carcillo that comes before the Earth is hit by an asteroid, but here we are.

Wrap It Up, We’ll Take It
Over the weekend, the Hawks pretty much wrapped up their offseason activities by re-signing Marcus Kruger for two years at $1.3m per. It’s another bridge contract, just like Nick Leddy received, however neither one takes Leddy or Kruger to unrestricted free agency. They’ll both be restricted in the summer of 2015, which is shaping up to be quite the eventful summer (though expect Toews and Kane to be locked up way before then anyway).
About the only thing left on Stan’s to-do list is perhaps a two-way deal for Drew LeBlahBlah, but that’s not a guarantee either. Seeing as how the Hawks chased Bob Loblaw for a couple seasons, I’d fully expect them to bring him back and stick him in Rockford as Pirri insurance.
So how did Stan do and where do the Hawks stand?

What I’m Playing: The Last of Us
Quick note: As the summer winds on, I will be making updates as to what video game is in my PS3. My hope is this for to become a regular topic for me this summer. I rarely play sports games so there’s a good chance this will all be action/adventure games. (“AAAAAAHHHHH! TALK MORE SPORTZZZZZ!!!”) If you aren’t interested in this sort of thing, then you can go back to arguing about line arrangements that are going to be shifted after the third preseason game anyways. I’ll try to keep any spoilers to a minimum.
If you’re like 3.4 million other people, you’ve have entered a world unlike any other in “The Last of Us,” a Playstation 3 exclusive that involves a post-apocalyptic journey across what was once the United States of America. Generally when I beat a game that I find engrossing, it takes a couple days for me to decompress back into reality and remember it’s not normal to go around sneaking up on people and snapping necks. Games like Red Dead Redemption, the Batman Arkham series and the Unchartered series come to mind.

Camping with the Kids: Day 5 of Prospect Camp
The puck dropped for the final time on Blackhawks Prospect Camp at 10:00 this morning for the final scrimmage of the week. With one last chance to show hockey ops and fans what they could do this week, the prospects put on a great show.
